About govig & associates

Govig & Associates is an executive recruiting firm that's been in business for over 40 years. More than recruiters, we're partners, coaches, and experts. Located in the heart of Scottsdale, Arizona, we specialize in biopharma, healthcare, construction, accounting, finance, and the local southwestern US markets. 

Our mission is to provide the highest quality executive services in the nation, and positvely change lives every day.

How we work

We have earned our reputation as one of the top executive recruiting firms in the country by customizing the search process to generate strong, lasting matches between professionals and organizations. We build relationships and act as a partner to achieve success for every team and each individual we work with. 

At Govig, we work hard to change people's lives every day. Family owned and Evergreen-certified, we combine a personal approach with a global network of resources.

Our Team

Govig & Associates offers a vibrant, family-like culture, with the tools, training and resources needed for success. We reward hard work and support our team in their career growth.

Recognized as one of “Arizona’s Best Places to Work” by the Phoenix Business Journal, we are a people-focused organization. Our teammates are our most valuable asset.

Our Values

Our executive team worked diligently to identify our team's core beliefs and attitudes when creating our company values. These are not traits we aspire to be, but rather are the values we already embody that are easily observed through the entire organization. 
Evergreen
Simply put, our top employees have created Evergreen careers where they can leverage their time, knowledge, and tenure to maximize their careers and create financial security, leading to financial independence for their families.
Saddle Up
You can call it grit, perseverance, or indomitable spirit. Whatever you call it, people with this trait do not give up — ever. They get knocked down like everyone else, but they dust themselves off and Saddle Back Up to continue their journey.

be human
Our business is fundamentally about one thing: building relationships. To do that, you have to build trust with people. The best way to create that is by operating with authenticity and sincerity.

dolphins not sharks
Dolphins use the power of team work and communication in their pods to achieve more. Like dolphins, we are strategic, agile, smart and fast. We face the sharks in our waters head-on without fear because we know our team has our back.

BY the numbers

Govig utilizes an advanced matrix system to track business development and recruiter numbers. These stats include position titles, re-occurring businesses, newly established business, positions needing placed, and successful placements. Govig uses these stats to stand above the competition and track which personalities fit best with certain companies, industries, and positions. This allows us to match company culture and position requirements with each placement to create the best possible fit.
