Nicoka
French agency ATS at €130/user/mo, with a 7-day trial, no setup fee and a candidate portal.
From €130/user/mo 7-day free trial
Bottom line
French ATS for recruitment agencies, headhunters and freelance recruiters, priced at €130 per user per month with no setup fee and no long-term commitment. A 7-day trial includes every feature with no credit card, and the customer-management module can be dropped.
Stands out for: One published price covers the full ATS: CV database, multiposting, a candidate portal, and tracking of prospects, clients and missions. The trial account converts into the paid account after seven days, and data is hosted in France.
Watch out for: At €130 per user the entry price is high against cheaper agency ATS tools. Nicoka also sells a CABS suite at the same €130 and a separate SIRH, and the Ada AI assistant is marketed on CABS, so confirm which product you are buying.
Overview
Nicoka is a French vendor whose ATS is built for freelancers, headhunters and recruitment agencies. It centralizes CVs from several channels, tracks recruitments, and covers prospects, clients and missions, with a candidate portal and multiposting. Nicoka says no training is required.
The corporate site also markets Nicoka CABS, an all-in-one for prospecting, recruiting and invoicing that includes an assistant named Ada for CV matching, ad writing and interview notes, and a separate SIRH for HR. Data is hosted in France under GDPR, and a LinkedIn sourcing plugin is offered.
The Full ATS plan for recruiters and recruitment agencies is €130 per user per month, with no long-term commitment, no setup fee and no hidden installation or training fee.
