Questions, answered
Who is responsible for workers' compensation?

On temp and contract assignments Scout Finders is the employer of record and carries workers' compensation coverage for the assigned worker — so your business isn't exposed for that coverage. Workers' comp is state-mandated everywhere except Texas (where it's elective, though we carry it).

Can temporary workers become permanent?

Absolutely. Many clients use temp-to-hire to assess performance and fit before extending a permanent offer; conversion terms are agreed up front.

What is co-employment?

It's how staffing works legally — two employers, split duties. Scout Finders hires, pays, insures and verifies the worker; you manage their tasks on site. Using a careful, compliant agency keeps that shared liability low.

How fast can you fill a role?

For common temp and light-industrial roles we can place vetted workers within 24-48 hours from a ready bench. Skilled, licensed or direct-hire roles typically take a few days to a couple of weeks depending on credentials and screening required.

Do you need a license to run a staffing agency in California?

California has no staffing-agency licensing scheme. As the W-2 employer of record for temp and contract staff, Scout Finders operates under federal labor law (co-employment, ACA, EEOC, I-9/E-Verify); we carry workers' compensation. For direct-hire and permanent placements, Scout Finders recruits and vets only — your business employs the candidate, so there is no co-employment and no license claim. We lead with ASA membership and structured candidate vetting (skills, references, work authorization).
