Kristine Nesslar
With more than 30 years of experience in team building, talent search, and hiring strategy, Kristine Nesslar has built her career on one core belief: the right people make all the difference. She has spent decades helping growing companies find, hire, and keep extraordinary talent—whether through full-time placements, contract engagements, or personalized career consultation services.
A native Midwesterner, Kristine spent two transformative decades in New York before returning home to Chicago. Her career began in a way that perfectly reflects her curiosity and tenacity: selling fashion buttons (clothing, not political) in the age of phone books, pay phones, and relentless hustle. From there, she broadened her experience across industries—supporting an international brand identity firm, finance organizations, engineering companies, and fast-growing entrepreneurial businesses.
Over time, Kristine became known for her ability to understand not just what a role requires, but what a business truly needs. She blends hands-on recruiting experience with a deep appreciation for culture, team dynamics, and the traits that drive long-term success.
What hasn’t changed over the years is her passion: Kristine loves matching great people with extraordinary opportunities. She believes every hire tells a story, and she’s committed to helping founders and job seekers write the next chapter of theirs.
Whether you're building your first team or scaling your next one, Kristine brings the insight, intuition, and care of someone who’s spent a lifetime connecting people with possibility.
