The principle

Sourcing happens in the browser, so the ATS has to be there too

A consultant spends the day on LinkedIn and in CV databases. Without a plugin, every interesting profile becomes a run of copy-pastes: name, role, phone, email, then the CV downloaded and uploaded again, and finally the question nobody answers, have we seen this person before.

The Nicoka plugin makes that trip for you. The profile goes into Nicoka CABS with its details, on the role you choose, and any duplicate is flagged before the import.

  • One click instead of ten : no more re-entry, no more shuffling files.
  • Duplicates avoided : the plugin tells you whether the profile is already in your database.
  • Not only candidates : contacts, companies and LinkedIn conversations come across too.
How it works

Installed in two minutes, used all day

The plugin is included in Nicoka CABS, there is nothing extra to buy.

1

Install it

From Chrome or Edge, then connect the plugin to your Nicoka CABS space. Nothing to install on the machine.

2

Source as you always do

LinkedIn, LinkedIn Recruiter, Sales Navigator or one of the compatible CV databases. Your habits do not change.

3

Import

You choose the role, the plugin flags any duplicate, the profile joins Nicoka CABS.

4

Carry on

Note, meeting, assignment to a role: what comes next happens from the plugin or from the record.

Stage 03

The profile arrives complete, and you know whether it is already known

The plugin reads the page you are looking at, takes the profile's details and lets you choose the destination role. If the person already exists in your database, it tells you before the import.

  • Details carried over : identity, current role, available contact details, and the CV when the source allows it.
  • Choice of role : the candidate joins the assignment concerned directly.
  • Duplicate flagged : you complete the existing record instead of creating a second one.
  • Immediate actions : note, meeting, assignment, without opening another tab.

What the plugin changes

The time you save goes back to the job, not to data entry

Six everyday uses for an agency consultant.

One-click import

The profile you are looking at joins Nicoka CABS with its details, on the role of your choice. No more copy-pasting field by field.

  • LinkedIn and 10 CV databases
  • Choice of role at import
  • CV carried over when the source allows

Duplicates flagged

The plugin warns you if the profile is already in your database. You enrich the existing record instead of creating a twin.

  • Detection before import
  • Direct access to the known record
  • A clean database over time

Prospecting too

A decision-maker spotted on LinkedIn becomes a contact, the company becomes an account, and a published job ad becomes a commercial opportunity.

  • Accounts from LinkedIn and Pappers
  • Opportunities from a job ad
  • Account status displayed inside LinkedIn

LinkedIn exchanges kept

Conversations held on LinkedIn join the candidate's or the contact's record. The history no longer depends on an outside inbox.

  • Conversations synchronised
  • History in the record
  • Visible to the team

Actions without switching tab

Assigning to an assignment, scheduling a task, leaving a note, importing a whole selection from LinkedIn Recruiter: the everyday moves happen from the plugin.

  • Assignment, tasks and notes
  • Bulk import from LinkedIn Recruiter
  • Filling in job ad forms

Frequently asked questions

What we get asked about the Nicoka plugin

Is the plugin paid for?
No. It is part of Nicoka CABS, just like the ATS, the CRM, sales and AI, at 130 euros per month per user.
Which browsers does it work on?
Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The extension is developed and maintained by our teams, in France.
Which sites can a profile be imported from?
From LinkedIn, LinkedIn Recruiter and Sales Navigator, as well as HelloWork, Apec, France Travail, Indeed, CVaden, Turnover-IT, Meteojob and Agefiph. Pappers additionally lets you create a company in your CRM.
What happens if the candidate is already in the database?
The plugin flags it before the import and offers to open the existing record. You enrich the record you already have rather than creating a duplicate.
Can anything other than candidates be imported?
Yes. The plugin also imports contacts and companies into your CRM, and synchronises your LinkedIn conversations into the relevant record.
Can a commercial opportunity be created from a job ad?
Yes. On an ad published on LinkedIn, France Travail, Apec, HelloWork or Indeed, the plugin offers an Opportunity tab and a Job tab, pre-filled with the details of the ad. See the prospecting.
Can several profiles be imported at once?
Yes, from a LinkedIn Recruiter or Recruiter Lite project: you tick the profiles in the pipeline or the talent pool, then add them in one go, as candidates on one or more roles, or as contacts attached to an account.
Is there anything to install on the workstation?
No. It is a browser extension: you add it to Chrome or Edge, then connect it to your Nicoka CABS space.

A sourcing extension for an ATS: why it changes a consultant's day

Sourcing happens where the candidates are: on LinkedIn and in CV databases. The ATS, meanwhile, lives in another tab. Between the two, a consultant spends part of the day copying information that already exists, and wondering whether the profile they have just found has been in the database for six months.

The invisible cost of copy-pasting

Two minutes per profile sounds negligible. Across a hundred profiles a week per consultant, it becomes several hours lost, and above all a database that fills up only halfway: the phone number entered but not the CV, the current role but not the source, the exchanges left in LinkedIn messages. A year later the talent pool is hard to use and nobody really knows where the candidates came from.

Importing is good; knowing the profile is already known is better

Duplicate detection at the moment of import is what protects the database over time. A candidate already presented to a client, already assessed or already turned down on another assignment should not come back as a brand-new record. The plugin flags the existing record and offers to enrich it, which preserves the history and avoids awkward moments with clients.

Sourcing is not only about candidates

An agency sells as much as it recruits. A decision-maker spotted on LinkedIn is meant to become a contact in the CRM, attached to a company created from its official record. Conversations held on LinkedIn then join the same record as the calls and the emails, and commercial follow-up stops depending on one person's memory.

The same move serves prospecting

An agency is not only looking for candidates: it is looking for clients too. The plugin handles both with the same logic. A LinkedIn company page or a Pappers record creates the account, a decision-maker's profile creates the contact, and a published job ad creates the commercial opportunity, and the role too if the assignment is entrusted to you. Along the way, the alerts displayed inside LinkedIn tell you whether the company is already a client or already handled by a colleague. The detail is on the prospecting.

What to take away

  • Sourcing happens in the browser: the ATS has to be one click away.
  • Duplicate detection is worth as much as the import itself.
  • A source recorded is a channel you can measure later.
  • Client contacts and companies deserve the same treatment as candidates.
  • An extension included in the subscription spares you one more tool to buy and administer.
