Testimonials

  • Chief of Staff, Wealth Management Firm

    "Nicole helped our firm source and hire two associates. But she did a lot more for us than find two new hires. Nicole revolutionized the hiring process for our firm. Not only did she find and fill those two hires (a difficult position to fill), but she also trained us on how to interview and speak with applicants, explained what to look for, and how to think through the role after the position had been filled. I'm not sure where we'd be without Nicole's expertise and guidance! She is a valuable resource that continues to help with our firms rapid growth."

  • CTO, Series-D SaaS

    "Over the years, most recruiting firms I've worked with seem to focus on sourcing a huge volume of poorly-qualified resumes to see what sticks, placing a huge burden on the hiring manager, with a large invoice on offer acceptance and questionable value. Nicole's ability to understand the nuance of both the technical and soft skills required for a role result in a healthy pipeline of highly-qualified candidates, and some of the best hires I've ever made. This, combined with her unique cost-efficient pricing structure, make it a no-brainer."

  • Lead Engineer of Series-C SaaS

    "I've had the pleasure of working with Nicole as both a candidate and an employer. I'm not sure how she found me, and I don't remember what it was that made her stand out from other recruiters that had frequently been contacting me (it was 5 years ago), but I do remember immediately feeling like she was someone I wanted to speak with. She genuinely seemed interested in getting to know me and determining if she could find a win-win situation, which she ultimately did, and that landed me at what turned out to be the best job I'd had in my 23-year career. As I grew roots in my new position, I needed to hire more people, and Nicole was awesome to work with in that capacity. It was challenging finding developers that met our requirements. She took feedback when candidates weren't exactly what we needed, and we ultimately hired multiple people over a 2-3 year period. I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole and I hope I get the chance to work with her again in the future."

  • Insurance Tech, CEO

    "After a myriad of bad experiences with recruiters, we were hesitant but desperate to ramp up our sales team ASAP. We found Nicole through a referral and decided to give her a shot -- her and and her team completely changed our perspective. They were transparent, responsive, and really took the time to understand our needs."

  • Private Equity Firm, Managing Director

    "Working with Strava Talent was like having an extension of our team. Nicole understood our needs quickly and brought us top-tier candidates, helping us build a stronger, more capable team. A pleasure to work with"

  • Head of Product, Series-A SaaS

    "What makes Nicole truly exceptional is her ability to understand the nuances of what a company needs while maintaining an open, communicative, and non-judgmental approach. She’s smart, collaborative, and always a step ahead in delivering results faster and better than other recruiting firms we worked with. Now that she’s launched her own independent recruiting business, I have no doubt that her dedication to helping businesses find their perfect hires will continue to exceed expectations. If you're looking for someone who can navigate the complexities of recruiting with precision and care, I highly recommend Nicole!"
