Nimble Staffing vs TempWorks

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Nimble Staffing

Sales-quoted

Accounting software built only for staffing and IT consulting firms: consultant timesheets turn into invoices automatically, and commissions, bank reconciliation, intercompany entries and 80+ financial reports run in the same system. It does no recruiting, so it sits beside your ATS. Quote-based, priced after a demo.

Where Nimble Staffing fits

  • US IT staffing and consulting firms billing hourly consultants
  • Owners running several staffing companies or business units
  • Firms moving timesheets and invoicing off spreadsheets

TempWorks

Sales-quoted

US staffing software that runs the ATS, CRM, payroll, billing and tax filing in one system, with a mobile app for temps. Quote-based, and built for temporary staffing agencies rather than corporate hiring.

Where TempWorks fits

  • US temporary staffing agencies
  • Agencies that want payroll and billing in house
  • High volume temp placement desks
  • Agencies that want a branded job board on their own site

Where they pull apart

Nimble Staffing

Stands out: 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.

Watch out: 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.

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

TempWorks

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Corporate in-house talent teams
  • Search firms with no payroll to run
  • Teams that want self-serve pricing
