Why Staffing Agencies Choose Ascen

Focus on growth. We'll handle the rest. Ascen's white-label EOR and back-office platform frees your team to do what it does best: matching clients with great candidates.

Core Capabilities

Ascen's all-in-one, white-label platform covers the core back-office needs of a staffing business:
Compliance
Ascen becomes your workers' legal employer and assumes the insurance, payroll tax, and compliance responsibilities that come with it.
Onboarding & Payroll
White-label onboarding and automated payroll for your workers, so they get paid accurately and on time.
Timesheets & Expenses
Workers submit and clients approve timesheets and expenses in one place, so your team stops chasing approvals.
Billings & Collections
Invoicing tied directly to payroll, white-label invoices, automated AR reminders, and AR team support for collections.
Payroll Funding
Optional funding covers payroll upfront, so you can take on larger accounts without waiting on client payments.
MCP & API
Connect AI agents through Ascen MCP or build on the REST API to run onboarding, timesheets, payroll, and reporting from your own tools.

Built for Every Kind of Staffing Agency

Other EORs and payroll platforms weren't built for staffing. Ascen was, whether you're launching your first agency, specializing in an industry, or expanding internationally.
Use Only What You Need

Ascen doesn't force you into products you don't need. Use our Employer of Record with or without payroll funding, add Agent of Record for contractors, and turn on the back-office features that fit your agency. Use the time you save to grow your business.
