Your FAQs
How can Naviga Recruiting help me find a job?
Naviga provides specialized placement opportunities across Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Finance & Accounting nationwide. While we do not directly pitch candidates without an open client mandate, you can explore active openings on our Job Board, sign up for Job Alerts, or check out candidate advice on our Recruiting Blog and Thought Leadership Portal.
Is there any cost for job seekers to use Naviga's recruiting services?
No. Naviga’s recruitment services are 100% free for job seekers and candidates. All recruitment and placement fees are covered entirely by our client companies.
How do I apply for an open position with Naviga?
Browse our current active openings on our Career Opportunities Page. If you meet the qualifications for a specific role, click “Apply for this Job” and complete the quick online form. If you don’t see an exact fit right now, you can submit your resume directly through our Candidate Contact Form to be added to our talent database for future opportunities.
If I see multiple open positions on the website, should I apply to all of them?
Yes. Each job posting is managed by a dedicated recruiter specializing in that function or region. Submitting your application to each relevant role ensures the specific recruiter managing that search receives your profile for evaluation.
What happens after I submit an online job application?
While our recruiting team reviews your application against client requirements, we recommend taking these proactive steps:
- Set up Automated Job Alerts to get notified as soon as new positions match your criteria.
- Ensure your LinkedIn profile is up to date and reflects your most recent achievements.
- Follow Naviga Recruiting on LinkedIn to see daily job updates, hiring news, and market insights.
- Participate in our Referral Program if you know other talented professionals seeking new opportunities.
What should I do if I haven't heard back regarding my application?
Due to high applicant volumes, our team contacts candidates whose skills directly align with active client requisitions. If you haven’t received an update within 48 hours and firmly believe your background matches all listed requirements, feel free to call our team directly at (866) 487-4156 (Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. EST) or reach out via our Contact Page.
How do I stay in your system for future executive and professional job opportunities?
The best way is to submit your resume directly to our candidate database through our Job Portal. When our executive search and recruitment teams launch new searches, our internal talent database is the first place we search for matching passive candidates.
Can Naviga review my resume or provide career coaching?
If you are selected as a candidate for an active search with one of our enterprise or mid-market clients, your dedicated recruiter will provide detailed resume feedback and coaching tailored specifically to that role. However, outside of active candidate searches, we do not provide standalone resume writing or one-on-one career coaching services. You can find free self-serve tips on our Thought Leadership Hub.
How should I prepare for an interview with a Naviga recruiter or employer client?
Thorough preparation is critical to interviewing success. Review our latest interview guides on the Naviga Blog. If you are actively interviewing with a client through Naviga, your assigned recruiter will conduct a prep session covering role specifics, interviewer profiles, team culture, and key evaluation criteria.
How can I determine a fair compensation package for my experience?
Compensation typically builds upon your recent salary history, target market benchmarks, and the scope of responsibility. To evaluate standard market rates, we recommend leveraging compensation tools such as Salary.com or Payscale. When working with Naviga on an active role, our recruiters transparently discuss target compensation ranges early in the process.
Does Naviga conduct in-person candidate interviews?
For executive-level and Chief positions within the Tampa Bay, FL area, we facilitate in-person interview sessions—either directly at the client company’s site or, for confidential searches, hosted discreetly at our private business club in Downtown Tampa. For all other positions and national candidate searches across our U.S. Recruiting Markets, we conduct comprehensive, professional video evaluations as part of our streamlined virtual vetting process.
Does Naviga pay referral bonuses for job candidates?
Yes! We offer cash referral bonuses for successful direct-hire/permanent placements. If you refer a colleague or friend who is hired for one of our full-time roles, you may be eligible for a referral payout. Learn more or submit a candidate on our Refer a Friend Page. (Note: Temporary or contract staffing roles are excluded from referral bonuses).
