Nimble Staffing from Sales-quoted

The short answer

  • TempWorks : TempWorks also runs pay and bill but puts an ATS and CRM in the same system, where Nimble only covers the accounting and sits beside the recruiting tool you already use. From Sales-quoted
  • Aqore : Aqore runs the ATS, timekeeping, payroll and invoicing on one login for temp and light industrial agencies, while Nimble focuses on consultant billing and multi-company accounting for IT staffing. From Sales-quoted
  • CEIPAL : CEIPAL is a staffing ATS with recruiting automation, so IT staffing firms that want the accounting side handled separately often pair a tool like it with a back office such as Nimble. From Sales-quoted

Why people look past Nimble Staffing

No published price, and the Free Trial button on the vendor homepage opens a demo booking form. Payroll is not run inside Nimble: you import payroll already processed in ADP or QuickBooks. Outside reviews are hard to find, and the vendor documents only those two integrations.

What we noted

  • No published price
  • Not an ATS
  • Payroll is processed elsewhere and imported

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies that need an ATS or candidate CRM
  • Firms that want payroll run inside the same system
  • Buyers who want self-serve pricing

Worth keeping in mind: It is a ledger shaped around the consultant rather than a generic accounting package. Approved hours raise the invoice with the timesheet attached, the dashboard drills from company revenue down to a single transaction, and it alerts on consultant visa and project end dates. Owners running several staffing companies get intercompany accounting and one view across all of them.

What each one does differently

TempWorks

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: TempWorks also runs pay and bill but puts an ATS and CRM in the same system, where Nimble only covers the accounting and sits beside the recruiting tool you already use.

Stands out: The back office goes further than most staffing ATSs: payroll processing, W-2 and ACA forms, tax services and payroll funding through Lone Oak Payroll can all come from TempWorks itself.

Watch out: No published price, and the product is shaped around US temp payroll, so it is the wrong fit for corporate talent teams or search firms with no payroll to run.

Best for

  • US temporary staffing agencies
  • Agencies that want payroll and billing in house
  • High volume temp placement desks

4.0 on Capterra from 24 reviews

Aqore

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Aqore runs the ATS, timekeeping, payroll and invoicing on one login for temp and light industrial agencies, while Nimble focuses on consultant billing and multi-company accounting for IT staffing.

Stands out: Front and back office really are one system, ATS through payroll, invoicing, AP and AR, plus ZenTime, a tablet time clock that keeps taking punches offline at job sites and resolves split shifts, duplicate SSNs and overlapping assignments before payroll. Several of its reviewers moved over from TempWorks for that combination and for the support.

Watch out: No published price. Outside reviews are thin (seven on Capterra, all vendor invited), and reviewers mention reporting gaps that needed custom reports, a clunky advanced search and some settings resetting after major updates.

Best for

  • US temp and light industrial staffing agencies
  • Day labor and job site shift work with weak connectivity
  • Agencies leaving TempWorks or Ultra-Staff that want one system

CEIPAL

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: CEIPAL is a staffing ATS with recruiting automation, so IT staffing firms that want the accounting side handled separately often pair a tool like it with a back office such as Nimble.

Stands out: Vendor-management integrations plus AI match scoring on a full desk ATS.

Watch out: No published price and no MCP.

Best for

  • US staffing firms
  • Desks plugged into managed vendor programmes
  • High-volume agency matching
