Questions, answered
Who is responsible for workers' compensation?

Workers' compensation for temp and contract staff sits with us, the employer of record. We insure the worker and absorb claims handling, removing that exposure from your business.

Do you offer a replacement guarantee?

We stand behind every placement. Temp replacements are typically same-day and free; direct-hire roles carry a guarantee window during which we'll re-recruit if the hire doesn't stick.

What is co-employment?

Co-employment is the shared-employer arrangement behind temp staffing: we own the payroll, tax and compliance duties while you control the actual work. Both sides carry anti-discrimination obligations, so a compliant agency protects you.

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

Missouri 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).
