Why Choose Naviga?
We Deliver. They Talk.
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
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.
Robyn Spanier, Senior Director of New Business Intake
Placed with our client DLA Piper
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
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.
Amy Barkley, Director of Enterprise Sales
Spectrio
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 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!

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.

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
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
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
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.
