Nikita R. Steals

“Nikita demonstrated a keen understanding of Capital One’s organization and strategy, an intuitive grasp of the relevant technologies, and the ability to communicate clearly and with authenticity. She’s playing a really important role in the dialogue on how technology can have a positive impact on historically overlooked parts of the workforce.”

“We instructed Nikita and her firm to assist with filling two key roles in our US office. Since we were unfamiliar with the US market, we required a company that was knowledgeable and had access to a strong talent pool. Within four weeks, both positions were filled. Communication is one area that Nikita and her firm excel at. A pleasure to work with — we will be instructing the firm further in the future.”

“What truly set Northwest Talent Solutions apart was their professionalism and personalized attention. Nikita and her team were transparent, insightful, and committed to understanding my aspirations. They not only connected me with a company seeking my talents but ensured a strong cultural fit. The experience was seamless and stress-free. I am incredibly thankful for their expertise and support.”

“Nikita and I worked together during the build out of a new entity in EMEA for AWS. She was brought in to manage a highly ambiguous and unstructured global recruitment business. Nikita brought much managerial stability, direction and data use to the business reporting, and was able to use this data to demonstrate why decisions needed to be made. It was a pleasure working with Nikita, I highly recommend her ability to manage large complex businesses and deliver results.”

“Nikita’s been a colleague and a friend. She and I have worked on several critical projects and delivered. Her understanding of talent scape and beliefs in building talent experiences is exemplary. Nikita is able to deliver to strategic priorities by rallying organisations resources and using influence while maintaining a hearty sense of humour results in great partnerships both on and off work.”

“I had the pleasure of attending one of Nikita Steals’ signature events recently. It was a testament to her expertise beyond just human capital strategies. The event was flawlessly executed, with high attendance and a vibrant atmosphere for networking with influential figures. It was clear Nikita understands the power of fostering connections and building communities. This experience solidified my impression of Nikita as a true visionary leader. As CEO of Northwest Talent Solutions, she seamlessly blends talent acquisition with DEI strategies, driving success for a diverse range of organizations. Her impressive 25+ years of experience includes senior leadership roles at Fortune 500 companies like Amazon. Nikita’s dedication to building inclusive teams, coupled with her talent for community engagement, makes her a valuable asset. I highly recommend her.”

“I had the privilege of working with Nikita during the ramp up phase of Northwest Talent Solutions. Her passionate vision for the future and ability to think innovatively about industry challenges sets her apart. She consistently demonstrates transparency in her decision-making process and encourages exploration of new methodologies. Nikita’s enthusiasm for transformative ideas and openness to emerging solutions makes her a thought-provoking leader to work with. Her willingness to share her strategic thinking process provides valuable insights into entrepreneurial leadership.”

“Nikita is a strong recruiter who can navigate her way through any challenge thrown her way. She was a hugely valuable team member supporting one of our largest markets. Her relationship management skills and her technical recruiting experience helped to bring a consultative approach to her role supporting her internal clients. Nikita was also a great team member to her peers and others in the recruiting group.”

“I have known Nikita ever since she hired me into Phillips. She is one of those few people that are fiercely passionate about what they do and are relentless in achieveing what they set out to pursue. I have been amazed by her ability to communicate and extract the best out of difficult employees within the organization. Her quest for excellence will take her places! All the best Nikita!”
