Bookkeeping and accounting are the building bloc
Your HR Partner™
Escalon gives you and your employees a comprehensive, one-and-done platform. Protect them through our benefits management oversight. Get them paid on time, and provide them the tools and training they need to excel. We’ll keep you compliant with changing wage and labor laws and supply you with thorough, data-driven HR reports. Done.
Recruiting Done™
Attract top talent with our start-to-finish recruitment support services, a powerful alternative to contingent or retained search, which can cost as much as 32% of the employees’ first year salary.
Escalon’s Recruiting Done provides recruiting process management and administrative support for a fixed, flat fee. Escalon can either work side-by-side with your staff to find the right candidate or own the entire hiring process.
Our experienced team of recruiters will draft job descriptions, source candidates, conduct phone screenings, schedule interviews and coordinate travel logistics as needed. No more wasted time dealing with the consequences of unsuitable candidates and inaccurate job descriptions. Escalon’s Recruiting Done services will reduce your cost per hire and time to hire, all while enhancing the overall recruiting experience for both candidates and hiring managers. Done.
Setup
Our recruiting solutions set you up to get the best hire, quickly. We start by establishing specifics from your hiring managers to create explicit job descriptions, screening and scoring criteria, interview questions and more.
Sourcing
Our proprietary sourcing capabilities find ideal candidates, whether they’re actively looking for a position or passive job seekers. Our recruiting team builds a strong candidate pipeline by sourcing from select job boards and social media platforms, identifying candidates that otherwise wouldn’t be found.
Screening
Let us be your frontman. Our recruitment support services handle phone screenings and provide initial candidate ratings so you have a curated list of prospects ready for the first round of interviews. By allowing us to narrow down your pool of candidates, we spare you the time and effort of sorting through potentially hundreds of unwanted resumes. Your Recruiting Done associate sets up objective scoring criteria, based on the hiring manager’s specifications as to what is important in a candidate and from the requirements listed in the job description. The score is then automatically generated when a candidate fills out an application or when the associate enters information from a resume.
The phone interview or candidate screen determines whether the candidate’s qualifications, experience, workplace preferences and salary needs are congruent with the position and organization. This saves managerial time and further eliminates unlikely candidates. It also strengthens the search, since we are already talking to the best prospects.
Scheduling
Our full-service recruitment support team works with your hiring managers to provide candidate assessment and guidance and will even schedule interviews to move the process steadily forward.
Selection
Ready to make an offer? Our veteran hiring team will help you make the best selection, taking into account the candidate’s experience, skill and cultural fit. We can also assist in offer negotiation.
Payroll Done™
Let our payroll management take care of the details of time reporting, taxes/other deductions, direct deposit and more, ensuring your people get paid accurately and on time. Done.
Taxes and Compliance
No more forgotten forms or signatures. We keep track of employee I-9s, W-2s and 1099s, making sure they’re signed and stored appropriately. We also stay on top of changing tax laws, making the needed adjustments and calculations so you never miss a beat.
Deposit Time
All payments are deposited on time and in the correct amount. By automating this simple yet vital task, we make sure there are fewer mistakes and that you spend less time getting your employees their paychecks.
Accounting Integration
We will integrate your payroll with your accounting software to ensure all payroll expenses flow through to your books and are accounted for properly and in a timely manner.
HR Done™
Our HR consulting team works with you to compile policies, introductions, expectations, onboarding guidance, contact information and more into a go-to guide for your business. We can create an essential online human resources hub for your employees — benefits enrollment, time reporting, career development resources and more — customized to your evolving business needs. Our HR consulting professionals not only help acclimate new employees into their roles and duties, but also facilitate job changes and exits to make sure outgoing employees leave on good terms. Done.
Employee Handbook and HR Policies
Together we create an employee handbook that new and current employees can reference for all things HR. Each company employs different policies and values, so we work closely with you to make sure your employees have a resource for this information.
Onboarding
Onboarding is a crucial aspect for any new hire. It is actually a large factor for whether your new employee will stay on for the long haul. We make sure your first impression is a welcoming one. Our turnkey onboarding system lets you rest easy when it comes to compliance, your onboarding checklist and making sure employees feel welcome.
Offboarding
When you decide to part ways with an employee, the offboarding process can be nearly as important as the onboarding process. We make sure that forms are taken care of, responsibilities are redirected appropriately and exit interviews are conducted when needed.
Compliance
Once hired, every member of your staff should know and follow all of your company’s policies and procedures. This can often be a grueling task for your HR department. We help set up systems that streamline this entire process so things run smoother.
Background Checks
You can never be too careful when learning about potential or even existing employees. We provide you with the resources to do thorough background checks so you can make sure you’re working with the person they claim to be.
Employee Relations
Our experienced team of human resource professionals work on your behalf to make sure the relationship between your company and your employees is clear, positive and productive.
Compensation Benchmarking & Performance Management
Knowing how much to compensate employees is critical in managing profitability and retaining top, valuable talent. That’s never been more true than in today’s hiring environment. Our in-depth compensation rate research gives you the data needed to make sure you’re paying the right people the right amount. We also help provide ongoing performance management so that your employees are delivering at the top of their game.
Benefits Done™
Health insurance, flexible spending accounts, paid leave, tuition reimbursement — these are just a few of the benefits you can provide to your employees to keep them protected and engaged. We’ll take care of your employees’ basic needs so you can have a thriving, productive workforce. And if we are the broker of record, we act as the single point of contact for all carriers. Done.

The biggest solution and value that Escalon is bringing to Propel is helping us get time back. We couldn’t have closed our Series B without all of you.
