Why Choose Naviga?
We Deliver. They Talk.
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
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 was the first recruiter I had ever worked with and they set the bar high. I had a very positive experience working with them. I can tell that they really care about their candidates and that they really want them to succeed.
Cindy Dickens, Director of Brand and Culture
Richman Property Services
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
Working with Naviga really made the hiring process easy for me. I was fearful of getting back out there and looking for something but they really made it a pleasant experience.

Diane Eakin, Territory Sales Manager

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

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
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
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
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
“One of my concerns was that I was going to pay a lot of money
and just get random resumes. Lucky for me, that’s not what
happened… I wouldn’t hesitate using a recruiting firm if Naviga is, in
fact, the bar. I’ll use Naviga for all future recruiting.”

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.
