PeopleOps Done™ refers to a one-and-done platform for recruiting, benefits, payroll and HR management for businesses offered by Escalon. Our trained human resources professionals will expertly manage all of a company’s people operations requirements, without the expense of hiring a similar in-house team.

Escalon’s Recruiting Done™ can either work in tandem with your in-house staff to find the right job candidate, or we can own the entire hiring process.

Screening

: Your Recruiting Done™ associate sets up a system to automatically generate scores when a candidate fills out an application or when the associate enters information from a resume. Our experienced team of recruiters will then conduct phone screenings and provide initial candidate ratings and then provide you with a curated list of prospects ready for the first round of interviews. We carefully evaluate whether the candidate’s qualifications, experience, workplace preferences and salary needs are congruent with the position and your organization.
