Questions, answered
What is the difference between temp staffing and direct-hire?

Temp and contract roles are short-term and agency-employed (ideal for seasonal peaks or projects); direct-hire is a permanent role you own from day one. We support both, plus temp-to-hire as the middle path.

How does temp staffing work?

You tell us the role, skills and start date; we draw from a vetted bench and place a worker on assignment. As the employer of record we handle payroll, taxes, workers' compensation and I-9/E-Verify, and you direct the work day-to-day. You can convert strong temps to permanent at any point.

What does a staffing agency cost?

For temp and contract staffing you pay a bill rate that bundles the worker's pay plus a markup covering payroll taxes, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance and our service. For direct-hire, you pay a one-time placement fee (typically a percentage of first-year salary) only when you hire — no hire, no fee.

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).

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

Washington 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).
