Why Choose Naviga?
We Deliver. They Talk.
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
“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.”
Curtis Bauer, CEO, Health iPASS
Health iPass –
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
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
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!

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
Placed with our client Selerix Systems
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
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
I really appreciated the way I could talk to the Naviga recruiter casually. She shared a wealth of information.

Robyn Spanier, Senior Director of New Business Intake
Placed with our client DLA Piper
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
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.

Agentic AI vs. Human Expertise: Avoiding Mis-Hires in Automated Screening
As Q4 resume volumes surge before the holiday slow down, talent acquisition teams are turning heavily to Agentic AI to parse candidates at scale.

Why Winning Q1 2027 Depends on Your Q4 Hiring Strategy
In modern corporate strategy, the calendar year starting on January 1 is a dangerous illusion. Business leaders who delay recruitment until the turn of the new year inadvertently sacrifice the entire first quarter to talent sourcing, interviewing, notice periods, and onboarding lag. By the time new hires reach full operational
The Q4 Talent Audit: Re-evaluating Open Roles Before the 2027 Budget Reset
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
