Nicole Riggs is the Operations Manager at Quaero Group, working behind the scenes to assist in the execution of the company’s daily activities, processes, growth, and innovation. She brings passion, experience, and dedication to creating a supportive, collaborative, and fun company culture.

Prior to joining the Quaero team, Nicole helped foster progress in her different roles within varying industries; recruiting, software technology, endurance training, freight services, and consumer services. Nicole’s refined years of experience have equipped her with a multitude of skills including office management, business operations, direct hire recruiting, customer service, and C-level assistance.
Nicole moved to Colorado from Southern California in 2004 and has never warmed up to the chillier Denver winter months. She is a spirited fan of anything summer-related — camping with her husband and adult children, going to the lake, and backyard barbequing with friends and family. She also has a strong affinity for Lego and Disney Parks.
Candi is an Attorney Search Associate at Quaero Group, focused on partner placements for law firms across the nation, with an emphasis on Denver, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Minneapolis, Chicago, and the greater Los Angeles area. Her drive and competitive, yet collegial spirit, translates into a unique, dynamic ability to genuinely connect with attorneys, understand what drives them, and make matches that will foster happiness and success in their practice of law.
Candi appreciates the challenge of not simply finding quality candidates, but finding candidates who bring an added layer of lasting value to the client on both a business and human level. Her previous experience working in consultative sales, financial planning, and supporting military families has instilled a strong sense of commitment to providing personalized, exceptional service to her partner candidates and clients.
She grew up in the Upper-Midwest and lived in Alaska and North Carolina before settling in Colorado. Outside of the office, you will likely find Candi enjoying the company of her family and friends, taking full advantage of the Colorado outdoors while camping and fishing, or expressing her creative side by decorating artistic cakes.
