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.

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
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.

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.

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!

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
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
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
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.

As the year comes to a close, talent leaders face an important question: Are your open positions still aligned with where your business is headed in 2027? An open requisition that has been sitting for 60, 90, or even 120 days deserves more than another round of resume reviews. It

Why Your 2027 Plan Will Fail If You Wait Until Q1 to Start Hiring Key Leaders
The most dangerous assumption in executive strategy is believing a Q1 start date means Q1 hiring. By the time 2027 officially begins, organizations that waited to launch critical leadership searches may already be behind schedule. Executive hiring takes time. Identifying the right candidates, engaging qualified talent, conducting interviews, aligning stakeholders,
