Brittany Struble
National Talent Acquisition Recruiter

Brittany Struble brings more than eight years of recruiting and executive search experience to Naviga, partnering with clients nationwide to deliver thoughtful, well-matched talent solutions across a wide range of industries. Her background spans Sales, Education, Financial Services, Legal, Construction, IT and Education with a functional focus on Leadership, C-Suite, Finance/CFO, and Administrative roles.

Brittany began her recruiting career in Special Education staffing on a national scale, where precision, empathy, and compliance were essential. She later joined AppleOne, a professional services staffing agency, where she supported clients throughout Florida, Georgia, New York, Hawaii, and beyond. This broad foundation allows her to approach every search with a well-rounded perspective and a deep understanding of both regional and national hiring dynamics.

At the core of Brittany’s approach is authenticity and transparency. She believes successful placements start with truly understanding a client’s business objectives and a candidate’s motivations, then aligning both sides with intention and care. By tailoring each search to the specific needs of the organization, Brittany focuses on creating placements that drive long-term success—not just short-term hires.

Throughout her career, Brittany has led several complex and rewarding searches, including a Controller role for a prestigious hospital group requiring specialized finance and healthcare expertise, and a Director of Operations search within the legal sector that demanded experience in legal operations and trust-related regulations. These engagements reinforced her belief that market knowledge, precision, and proactive communication are critical in today’s competitive hiring landscape.

Brittany sees one of the biggest challenges companies face in attracting top executive talent as understanding the market and the evolving priorities of today’s workforce. She helps clients overcome this by staying closely connected to candidates, monitoring market data, and continuously assessing how shifts in generational values and expectations influence hiring decisions.

What Brittany enjoys most about her role is the opportunity to create lasting, meaningful matches—helping organizations advance their initiatives while giving individuals the opportunity to grow, thrive, and feel fulfilled in their careers. She is a strong believer in continuous learning and accountability, approaching every search with curiosity and a commitment to excellence.

In addition to her recruiting work, Brittany has delivered presentations on generational dynamics in the workforce, helping organizations better understand how to position themselves to attract and retain talent across all age groups. She is also an active member of the Suncoast ALA and the Pasco Chamber of Commerce.

Outside of work, Brittany enjoys reading and writing, pursuits that reflect her thoughtful, reflective nature. She is deeply guided by the belief that every interaction leaves an echo, and she approaches her work and life with the intention of making a positive, lasting impact. Brittany has volunteered with soup kitchens across the five boroughs of New York, supported Feeding Tampa Bay, and contributed to various nonprofit organizations.
