Disclaimers

• DecisionIQ calculations are estimates based on the assumptions you enter and published public data. They are not forecasts or guarantees of savings or results.
• Nothing on this site or in our products is legal, tax, accounting, employment or investment advice. Employment law varies by location; consult qualified counsel before acting on workforce decisions.

How we use AI

CareerIQ career guidance, Ask NWTS support answers, Academy faculty feedback and our weekly and monthly briefings are prepared with AI assistance under NWTS’s written ethical-AI standards for accuracy, fairness, privacy and transparency, and are labeled as such. AI never produces DecisionIQ's financial calculations. Questions that need a person are escalated to Nikita R. Steals.

Testimonials, awards and results

Testimonials are reproduced verbatim from public recommendations, with permission, and reflect each author's individual experience; they are not a promise of similar results. Awards and recognition are listed as conferred by the organizations named. Career results describe outcomes achieved in prior roles and are not claims about any future engagement.

Our partnership with TriSearch

Retained executive search, volume hiring and recruitment process outsourcing are delivered through NWTS's strategic partnership with TriSearch, an independent company. NWTS does not own TriSearch. Nikita R. Steals is Managing Partner of Northwest Talent Solutions and, separately, Vice President, Client Success at TriSearch. TriSearch's awards belong to TriSearch. Search and RPO engagements are contracted under their own written agreements.
