It covers licensing, insurance, candidate screening practices, fee structure, and client references — giving you a consistent, documented basis for approving or rejecting an agency as a vendor.\n",{"question":389,"answer":390},"Why should I screen temporary staffing agencies before using them?","Using an unvetted staffing agency exposes your business to co-employment liability, uninsured workplace injury claims, and workers supplied without adequate background checks. A structured screening process confirms the agency is licensed, properly insured, and running candidate checks that meet your minimum standards — before a single worker sets foot on your site.\n",{"question":392,"answer":393},"What insurance should a temporary staffing agency carry?","At minimum, a staffing agency should carry active workers' compensation insurance, commercial general liability, and errors and omissions coverage. Your company should be named as an additional insured on the general liability policy. Minimum coverage limits vary by industry — consult your risk manager or insurance broker for thresholds appropriate to your placement roles.\n",{"question":395,"answer":396},"What is co-employment risk and how does this checklist help?","Co-employment risk arises when a client exercises sufficient day-to-day control over a placed worker's tasks, hours, or conditions to be treated as a joint employer under applicable law — creating exposure for benefits, overtime, and wrongful termination claims. Screening the agency's worker classification practices and formalizing the division of responsibilities in writing reduces the likelihood of a co-employment finding.\n",{"question":398,"answer":399},"How often should I re-screen an approved staffing agency?","Best practice is an annual re-screening aligned to the vendor contract renewal date. At minimum, re-verify the certificate of insurance each year and confirm license renewal. Trigger an out-of-cycle review any time the agency changes ownership, your volume with them increases significantly, or a placement issue raises a service-quality concern.\n",{"question":401,"answer":402},"Can I use this checklist for permanent-placement agencies too?","This checklist is designed specifically for temporary and contingent staffing agencies where the agency retains employer-of-record status. For permanent-placement or executive-search firms, most of the insurance and co-employment fields are less relevant — use a dedicated staffing agency evaluation form tailored to retained or contingency search engagements.\n",{"question":404,"answer":405},"How many agencies should I screen before selecting one?","Screen at least three agencies for any new placement category so you have a genuine comparison. For high-volume or long-term needs, screening four to six agencies and establishing a two- to three-vendor preferred list gives you redundancy if your primary agency cannot fill a surge.\n",{"question":407,"answer":408},"Does completing this checklist replace a formal staffing agreement?","No. The screening checklist is a due-diligence and selection tool — it does not create contractual obligations. Once an agency passes screening, formalize the relationship with a signed Temporary Staffing Agency Agreement that documents mark-up rates, replacement guarantees, indemnification, and termination terms.\n",[410,414,418,422],{"industry":411,"icon_asset_id":412,"specifics":413},"Manufacturing","industry-manufacturing","High-volume seasonal placements require verified safety training, OSHA recordkeeping clarity, and workers' compensation limits scaled to physical injury exposure.",{"industry":415,"icon_asset_id":416,"specifics":417},"Retail","industry-retail","Peak-season staffing surges demand fast replacement guarantees and agencies with proven retail candidate pools and basic background screening for customer-facing roles.",{"industry":419,"icon_asset_id":420,"specifics":421},"Professional Services","industry-professional-services","Temporary administrative, legal, or finance staff require verification of skills testing depth and confidentiality practices given access to sensitive client data.",{"industry":423,"icon_asset_id":424,"specifics":425},"Healthcare","industry-healthtech","Credentialing verification, license confirmation, and immunization record checks are mandatory screening fields alongside standard insurance and background check criteria.",[427,430,433,436],{"vs":236,"vs_template_id":428,"summary":429},"temporary-help-agency-service-agreement-D150","The screening checklist is a pre-contract evaluation tool — it determines whether an agency meets your minimum standards before you commit.
