Why Choose Naviga?
We Deliver. They Talk.
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
We partnered with Naviga for a number of reasons. First, they were excellent communicators. They already had knowledge of the commercial industry, but they quickly got a sense of our business by listening to us and asking great questions. Next, the Naviga team was professional, approachable, and knowledgeable. Specifically, they had an extensive grasp of the European market with a specialization in sales. They also have a team of skilled recruiters and use a proven recruiting process based on years of experience and expertise. And finally, Naviga really formed a partnership with ITN. They were consultative and took the time to understand our needs without overselling.
Heike Tobin
Senior Recruiter, ITN Productions
Our recent Director of Sales hire is doing amazing – a rock star! He’s a true coach, cheerleader, and he has fun with his team. He’s bringing in more than impressive numbers Q1 – ranked as #1 across the entire company.
John Makarewicz
President, Mark Spain Real Estate
It felt like we were true partners with Naviga and that was really big. They took the time to understand who I was, who the firm was, what our needs were and our pain points. Instead of feeling like a business transaction, there was a partnership in Naviga helping us find the right person for the right reasons.
Nicholas Halar
Senior HR Associate, Forensic Risk Alliance
To move your company in a new direction from where it’s been before, you need someone outside of your network and even outside of your industry. That’s where we received a lot of value from hiring Naviga as our sales executive search firm. They were able to cast a wide net and give us the confidence to know that we were finding the best Sales Leader. We got exactly what we were hoping for.
Craig Anderson
Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, Student Connections
The job description and information prior to my first meeting were very descriptive, it was very thorough. It was refreshing to see the detail and the information that was needed to really make an assessment prior to that first call.
Andrew Lockerbie, VP of Health Plans
PDHI
I received a lot of information about the company.
I found it to be really helpful to work with a recruiter. It takes some of the pressure off to have someone that you can ask more in depth questions.
Sara Staszak, HR Generalist
Placed with our client Sammons Warehouse Solutions
I wanted to thank you for being responsible for this amazing new opportunity. Today was my first day and I felt like I was in Oz. I stepped out of a black and white old life into a new life in technicolor. You are my Glenda. Thank you!

My biggest takeaway from working with Naviga was the communication piece. It was how professionally Naviga presented themselves. It was making sure they were also looking out for my best interest.
Leonard Trinidad, Vice President of Sales
Placed with our Client SolveHR
I was completely prepared for my interview. Everything was super helpful, especially the different tips and tricks that you gave me. There were things you included in there that I didn’t even think about.
Matt Sprague, Inbound B2B Sales professional
Placed with our client Bulletproof
Naviga’s response time, as far as the cycle from needing to hire to we have hired, was timely. I definitely felt like whenever needed, Tracey or Kathleen would reach out. There was constant communication.
Cara Swanson
Business Development, Equipco
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.

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
When hiring an executive, whether a VP, an SVP, or a C-suite leader, the rules of engagement completely change. You aren’t just filling a vacancy; you are acquiring a strategic architect for your company’s future. Yet, many executive searches drag on for six months or longer, ultimately collapsing at the
How Managers and Recruiters Win Talent Together
We’ve all seen it happen. You find the perfect candidate. Their resume is a flawless match, their initial screening was a home run, and the recruiter passes them to you on a silver platter. Then… life happens. You get pulled into a product launch. Your calendar fills up with quarterly
Why Proactive Talent Mapping is a Boardroom Imperative
Every boardroom is familiar with the concept of the “Bus Factor”: the risk an organization carries if a mission-critical leader suddenly steps away tomorrow. Yet, while most organizations maintain rigorous business continuity plans for data centers, supply chains, and cybersecurity, their continuity plans for human capital remain largely underdeveloped.
