Questions, answered
How fast can you fill a role?

Speed depends on the role: general and light-industrial assignments often fill same-day or next-day; specialized, licensed or permanent positions take longer because of credential checks and interviews.

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

With temp and contract staffing, Scout Finders employs the worker (payroll, taxes, workers' comp) and assigns them to you — flexible and fast to scale. With direct-hire, we recruit and vet candidates but your business employs them permanently; there's no co-employment, and you pay a placement fee only when you hire.

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.

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 North Carolina?

In North Carolina, employment-agency licensing applies to fee-charging placement; Scout Finders supplies temp and contract staff as the W-2 employer of record (co-employment, we carry workers' compensation, I-9/E-Verify). Fee-placement license on file where required (registration number provided on engagement). 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).
