The Problem

Hiring Freelance and Corp-to-Corp talent is fraught with misclassification risk and global payment complexity.

Staffing organizations often work with independent talent for certain types of roles like in IT and Life Sciences. If staffing firms misclassify workers, there is substantial legal risk in lawsuits, government fines, and back taxes. This becomes even more complicated as recruitment agencies engage talent across multiple jurisdictions with different laws.

Easy to Grow Our Contract Footprint
We have been nothing short of delighted with Ascen as the exclusive contract partner of [our agency]. They have been super easy to work with and more importantly our clients and candidates have all been super happy. The team have been exceptionally responsive when any changes are required or questions need answering. The portal itself is also terrific; it gives super clear insight as to when revenue is coming, how much has been received and this allows for super accurate forecasting. If I’m honest, I wasn’t considering having any contract as part of our offering at [our agency] with the headache of financing or having to run it all ourselves; now with Ascen as our partner we have a strategic objective to continue to grow our contract footprint
