Position Overview

Executive Recruiter

Welcome to the Big Leagues: Govig & Associates

At Govig & Associates, we’re not just another search firm—we're a place where high performers build careers that matter. From our headquarters in Old Town Scottsdale, we partner with organizations across multiple industries to deliver the leadership talent that drives growth, transformation, and long-term success.

Our Top Producers Set the Standard:

Last year, our Top Performers earned $750K+, with the Top 5 averaging $354K. This is a performance-driven environment where effort is rewarded, potential is unlimited, and results speak louder than titles. If you’re serious about success, you'll find no better stage to build your legacy.

The Role: Build Influence. Create Opportunity. Shape Industries.

This is more than a job - it's an opportunity to establish yourself as a strategic connector and trusted advisor. As an Executive Recruiter, you will build deep expertise in your niche and create high-impact matches that move careers and companies forward. Here's how you'll elevate your game:

  • Be Bold in Your Outreach: Cold calling is not a task, it's a strategic tool for opening doors, meeting decision-makers, and uncovering opportunities.
  • Own the Entire Process: From the first conversation to the final negotiation, you'll drive every step with precision, confidence, and business acumen.
  • Chase High Value Wins: When a major deal is on the line, you show up - whether that means jumping on a flight or meeting a client face to face. And with access to our Pilatus PC-12, we make sure you get where you need to be.
  • Become Their Trusted Advisor: You'll grow into the person clients rely on and candidates seek out. A connector who understand their goals, challenges, and next move.
  • Level Up Every Day: You'll work alongside high-achieving professionals who challenge you, support you, and celebrate your wins. Growth is built into our culture.

                    • Montego Bay
                    • Hawaii
                    • Punta Cana

Our incentive trips aren't perks - they're proof of what's possible.

  • Culture Built for High Performers: You'll find a rare blend of competition, collaboration, accountability, and support. We win together every single time.

Who Thrives Here
If the following describes you, you'll excel:

  • Relentless Sales Drive: You hunt for opportunity and follow through with precision.
  • Resilience That Never Backs Down: Challenges sharpen you, they don't stop you.
  • Goal Oriented and Results Focused: You outperform, overdeliver, and raise the bar.
  • Leadership Mindset: You take initiative, influence outcomes, and constantly evolve.

This isn’t for everyone. It’s for those who want to compete at the highest level - and win.
