Why Choose Naviga?
We Deliver. They Talk.
The quality of candidates Naviga presented to us were superb. We did not receive any random or unqualified candidates, and the ones that were submitted met all our needs. There was great communication during the process and resulted in two great finalists for our position.
Rich Vecchio
Recruiting Manager, PGA Tour
I was completely prepared for my interview. Everything was super helpful, especially the different tips and tricks that you gave me. There were things you included in there that I didn’t even think about.

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.

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

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.

I really appreciated the way I could talk to the Naviga recruiter casually. She shared a wealth of information.
Diane Eakin, Territory Sales Manager
Placed with our client Pinpoint Information 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
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.

When
Is Your C-Suite One Compensation Misstep Away from Walking? The Hidden Risk of Outdated Executive Pay
In a volatile macroeconomic landscape, companies often make a dangerous assumption: if headcount expansion is frozen, executive movement must be frozen too. Leadership teams believe that their top executives are content simply to have stability. However, the reality on the ground tells a radically different story. Top-tier executives (those capable
