Why Choose Naviga?
We Deliver. They Talk.
The individualized service was the best part about working with Naviga. Between Kathleen and Gina we were able to zero in on exactly what I was looking for, they were able to understand what was important to me and the feedback was continual. I’ve had situations where companies go silent for a month and that was not the case with Naviga.
Mike Goddard
VP of Sales, Dekoron Unitherm
I am a firm believer in communication and good communication really helped set Naviga apart from the other recruiting firms that I was working with. I was always in the know and any questions I had were always answered on the spot.
Jason Abbey, Director of Enterprise Sales
Spectrio
Working with Naviga made me feel like I had a partner who was very invested in me and that made the entire experience simple. Someone who could reach out to the company so I didn’t have to do all of the legwork. I could really focus on what mattered to me.
Jamy Parker, Sr. Sales Executive

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

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
Throughout the whole process, I felt so prepared by the Naviga Team. Everyone at Naviga was super helpful at prepping me to understand the purpose of the interview and who I was meeting with.
Jose Rios, Territory Sales Manager
Placed with our client HTS TentiQ
Naviga has a team of good listeners and asked some great questions when learning about us. They had the desire and ability to customize a search to our needs. Naviga listened to our ideas and were able to overlay them with their expertise to find us some great salespeople.
Sven Kins
Managing Director, Cook M&A
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
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
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
Naviga did a really good job of representing my interests and representing the interest of the client equally. It restored my faith in dealing with recruiters and set a new standard.
Brian Purcell, Vice President of Sales
Placed with our client Lockstep Technology Group
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.
