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.

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.
