Meet Nikki
Good recruiting starts with great relationships.
Hi, I'm Nikki Schiro, Principal Recruiter and Founder of Trust Recruiting.
I've spent more than 25 years helping organizations find great people, build strong teams, and grow. Along the way, I've learned that hiring the right person can change everything.
It's why I started Trust Recruiting.
I love working with nonprofit leaders and business owners who are passionate about what they do but don't always have the time, resources, or recruiting expertise to find the people they need.
My goal is simple: make hiring easier, more affordable, and maybe even a little more fun.
A Little About My Background
My career has taken me through recruiting, marketing, operations, and organizational leadership, with roles at Nestlé, PNC Bank, Bank of America, and People Architects.
Before launching Trust Recruiting, I was Chief Operating Officer at People Architects, where we partnered with growing businesses and nonprofits that needed recruiting, HR, and people leadership support without building large internal teams.
That experience gave me a firsthand understanding of the challenges leaders face when hiring. It also showed me how much difference the right recruiting partner can make.
Today, I combine my marketing and recruiting experience with a strong network of professionals in Human Resources, Accounting & Finance, and Marketing throughout Cleveland and beyond.
And my favorite part of the job? Making an offer to a candidate. There's nothing better than helping someone take the next step in their career while helping an organization find exactly who it needs.
Outside of Recruiting
I'm a Cleveland-area mom, licensed foster parent, and active community volunteer.
Giving back is important to me, especially supporting children and families in foster care. I've been involved with organizations including Honey from the Rock, OhioGuidestone, 100 Women Who Care, the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, and the Cleveland International Film Festival.
I'm also a proud graduate of John Carroll University and Case Western Reserve University, where I earned my MBA.
Whether it's through recruiting, volunteering, or making a connection, I believe small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
How I Can Help
Through Trust Recruiting, I partner with nonprofits and small businesses to make hiring simpler and more affordable.
I offer full-service and fractional recruiting support, helping organizations find, attract, and hire people who bring the right skills, experience, and values to their teams.
My approach is personal, hands-on, and built around relationships. When you work with Trust Recruiting, you work directly with me.
