When a cover letter she wrote for her own job search got passed around the halls of a Fortune 10 company, Nicole Finkbeiner landed an offer with a 53% raise. That moment revealed a skill she didn’t know she had: the ability to make a resume or cover letter impossible to ignore.

Nicole spent over 20 years in marketing and a decade as a hiring manager — sitting on both sides of the interview table before turning that dual perspective into a coaching practice. In 2020, she founded Fast Hires, where she pairs her insider’s eye for what gets candidates noticed with real expertise in persuasion and interview strategy.

Working one-on-one, Nicole helps clients land the offer, not just the interview — writing resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles that get noticed, coaching them through interview practice, and rebuilding the confidence that often gets lost somewhere in a job search. Her clients have gone on to become CEOs, move from executive roles into consulting and board work, land the next promotion, pivot into entirely new careers, and finally get recognized for what they’ve been capable of all along.
