Nick Schubert
Account Manager

After years as a touring musician, I felt the call to something new. In 2022, I made the leap into staffing and haven’t looked back since. What started as a career shift quickly became a passion, as I discovered my love for connecting with people from all walks of life. Building genuine relationships and helping candidates find roles where they can truly thrive is what drives me every day. For me, it’s about more than just filling positions — it’s about creating lasting connections that support both people and businesses alike.

When I’m not matching talent with opportunity, you’ll find me spending time with my wife, son, and our two dogs, Lenny and Roland. In my free time, I love heading out on camping trips, strumming my guitar, or getting lost in a classic Ken Burns documentary on PBS.
