Janice Martinez has been a key part of Naviga’s talent acquisition team for over four years. Her journey with the firm began uniquely as a part-time temporary Sourcer during the pandemic in 2020. Quickly recognized for her adaptability and broad skill set, Janice transitioned into a permanent role where she has taken on a dynamic range of responsibilities, contributing to many areas beyond traditional recruiting.

This extensive background enables her to bring a fresh and innovative perspective to talent acquisition, challenging conventional approaches and driving continuous improvement. Her willingness to step up — whether managing marketing projects, improving KPI reporting, or supporting visual branding with content creation — has made her a versatile and invaluable team member.
In her current role as Associate Director of TA, Janice focuses on strategic sourcing, comprehensive KPI reporting, and administration of Naviga’s Applicant Tracking System to optimize process efficiency and data integrity. She also supports the firm’s operations by troubleshooting and managing logistics, and often fills in as a graphic designer to support the firm’s visual communication needs.
Janice embodies Naviga’s culture by fostering open, honest communication and bringing a balanced mix of professionalism and approachability. She values the firm’s culture of autonomy and inclusivity, appreciating the trust and freedom Naviga provides its team members to take ownership and innovate. She is proud of Naviga’s courage to evolve, adapt, and embrace diverse perspectives — qualities she champions in her daily work.
Outside the office, Janice enjoys staying active, savoring good food and drinks with friends, and spending quality time with her family — especially watching her son play baseball. She also pursues creative hobbies like knitting and woodworking.
Her key advice to new Naviga team members is to ask questions and openly share ideas, emphasizing that every fresh perspective is vital to the firm’s ongoing growth and innovation. Janice’s dedication, adaptability, and collaborative spirit make her an essential contributor to Naviga’s success and a trusted leader within the team.
