I’ve had the privilege of working with Nicole at Prokeep, where she’s currently helping us fill critical delivery team roles. She’s hands down one of the best recruiters I’ve ever partnered with. Nicole isn’t just filling seats—she’s building teams and shaping the foundation of our company.
From implementing AI-powered briefs that elevated our hiring process, to building our first Data Engineering team, to bringing in top-tier engineering leadership, Nicole has been a true game-changer. She has a rare ability to blend strategy with flawless execution, and she consistently earns the trust of both candidates and hiring managers.
What impresses me most is how quickly she delivers high-quality candidates. She’s a remarkable talent partner who brings energy, creativity, and a genuine passion for helping companies grow. She knows SaaS, she knows startups, and she knows how to connect people in ways that scale. I feel lucky to keep working with her. – Kristen Augustine, Head of People @ Prokeep

I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Nicole Carriere the last 5 months, filling half a dozen critical engineering and product roles. I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most effective and professional recruiters I’ve ever partnered alongside in my 30 years in the industry.
She consistently fills roles in under 60 days, which is a testament not just to her speed, but to her precision and deep understanding of technical hiring. These roles ran the gamut of experience and specialization and she presented candidates that fit not just the stated requirements but the intangibles as well, usually with the first few candidates.
More amazingly, rather than relying solely on inbound applicants, she does the hard work of sourcing top-tier candidates directly. This approach has led to better-aligned hires and significantly reduced time-to-fill.
Her organizational skills and workflow are second to none. She brings structure to the recruiting process with clearly defined stages, streamlined communication, and well-set expectations for everyone involved on both sides of the experience. Her process ensures that the interview team has clear and open communication and the candidate is always in the loop.
She’s a true partner in every sense—collaborative, thoughtful, and relentlessly focused on quality. I would recommend her without hesitation to any team looking to scale with confidence and efficiency.
