Questions, answered
What is co-employment?

Co-employment means the staffing agency and the client share employer responsibilities for a temp worker. Scout Finders handles hiring, payroll, taxes, workers' comp and I-9/E-Verify; you direct the day-to-day work. Both parties have obligations under federal anti-discrimination law, which is why working with a compliant agency matters.

What does a staffing agency do?

Staffing agencies recruit, vet and place candidates so you can scale your workforce up or down fast. On temp and contract assignments the agency employs the worker — payroll, taxes, workers' comp — while on direct-hire roles you employ them and the agency simply finds and screens the talent.

Do you offer a replacement guarantee?

Both our temp and direct-hire placements are backed by a guarantee: we replace a temp who isn't working out quickly, and we re-fill a direct-hire that leaves within the guarantee window.

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.

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

Washington, DC 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).
