Ascen
Modern EOR & Payroll for Staffing Agencies

Ascen is an employer of record (EOR) and back office platform built specifically for staffing agencies, recruitment firms, and talent platforms. It provides an all-in-one white-label solution covering onboarding, payroll, workers' compensation, timesheets, invoicing, and payroll funding. The platform integrates with major ATS and accounting software via a REST API, supporting operations across all US states, Canada, and select global markets.
Ascen acts as the legal employer or agent of record for a staffing agency's candidates, handling compliant onboarding, payroll processing, benefits, invoicing, and collections through a white-label, API-first platform.
