Why Choose Naviga?
We Deliver. They Talk.
It’s been a very personalized experience, a structured experience, and one that I’m an advocate of and would support entirely for other people. I look forward to referring new candidates for Naviga’s other opportunities!
Brian Buzak, Enterprise Account Executive
Placed with our client Kore.ai
I felt I was prepared and it did give me a little bit of an advantage knowing some of the details about the role and where they were going with this opportunity and where the company was going as a whole.
Fred Tort, Senior Talent Acquisition Recruiter
Placed with our client InTegrum Resources
After my first conversation with Naviga, I had a really good feeling about Bounce Curl. Just to have someone be there for the candidate is a huge, huge deal. Otherwise, we’re just names on paper.
Blessly Thomas, Marketing Manager
Placed with our client Bounce Curl
There are many recruiting companies out there, and Naviga seems to be a step above the rest—more professional, more straightforward, and truly concerned about the person they’re interacting with.
James Scott, Wholesale Sales Representative
Placed with our client C&B Equipment
I felt very comfortable and confident in what Briggs was looking for. I could tell that you had worked with this company before and had a good feel for them. And that meant a lot.
David Fee, Sales Manager
Placed with our client Briggs Equipment
Naviga doing the vetting process, being selective with candidates and having reasonable fees is a benefit to me. There’s a true vested interest in being successful & I liked the proactive communication between Kathleen, Julia and myself.
Reid Wilson
HR Director, Briggs
Once our new hire comes and rocks, we will hire another from you. You will always be my first stop.
PK Karunakaran
VP of Sales, Allsec Technologies
I was very impressed with Naviga’s services; they screened good quality candidates and really understood the scope of the available position. I feel I received a fitting candidate and I’m very excited!
Tim McHugh
Regional Sales Manager, SimplexGrinnell
The change has been night and day, quality and quantity, since bringing on the 4 Sales Managers Naviga found for us. We are now focused on strategic areas and are in front of our customers repeatedly, driving the sales force, retention of clients and frequency – the sales hires lived up to their word, couldn’t be better, we’re having double-digit growth year after year.
Michael O’Neill
President, WERMA-USA
Naviga did a great job at outlining the job and giving me the resources so that I was prepared come interview time.
Jason Johnson, Regional Sales Manager
Placed with our client ASC Engineered
The quality of candidates Naviga presented to us were superb. We did not receive any random or unqualified candidates, and the ones that were submitted met all our needs. There was great communication during the process and resulted in two great finalists for our position.
Rich Vecchio
Recruiting Manager, PGA Tour
The wonderful part about working with Naviga is that I didn’t feel like just a number, I felt like a neighbor. I felt like they were equal parts advocates of me and an ambassador for the client which was a welcome surprise.

How Modern Leaders Drive Digital Value
When executive leadership treats technology purely as an “IT responsibility,” the result is almost always software sprawl: a bloated ecosystem of expensive, siloed platforms, low adoption rates, and disjointed data. To build a high-performing organization, modern C-suite leaders, COOs, CFOs, and Sales VPs, must act as the primary architects and
The Executive Search Symphony: How Hiring Leaders and Recruiters Align to Land Top Talent
