A fresh take on recruitment

the Eleven Eleven

difference

 

EQUITY

DEI Metrics you can be proud of. We’re your partner when you want to create real accountability in your hiring strategy. We challenge you to seek candidates that bring rich and broad perspectives because we know diversity—in gender, race, nationality and ability—always makes business better. When you’re ready to go deeper into your DEI metrics or to create a leadership team you’re proud to display on your website, come talk to us.

NICHE EXPERTISE

We know retail at every level. We know the inner workings of retail brands—from the C-suite to the shop floor. We hire for product, design, brand, finance, ops, HR, sales and beyond. We bring a huge industry-specific network, along with the capacity to scale with you in moments of big growth. We speak the same language because we’ve worked in-house at brands just like yours. There’s technical expertise you just can’t fake, and we know how to spot exactly the talent you need for now and the future.

MINDFULNESS

Build a well workforce. We’re building a future of employers who actually care about employees’ wellbeing. That’s why we hire with a focus on both EQ and technical expertise, and then equip employers to support their teams’ mental and physical wellbeing. Our background in meditation and mindfulness helps us bring a deeper understanding of human motives—we dig into those individual motivations to make sure there’s alignment with your business. When hires are well at work, they’re less likely to burn out, and more likely to give their best for years to come.

PARTNERSHIP

We’re on the same side of the table. We bring the quality and accountability of an in-house recruiter, but the speed and drive of an agency. Our years working in-house at global brands helped us think of everything we hated about the recruitment agencies we worked with in the past so that we could turn it upside down and operate as if we were your internal search team. We measure our success on how long employees stay, not how long it takes to find them. Operational excellence is at our core—intuition and curiosity are part of our brand ethos. We are methodical. Our predictable process—which even includes quantitative metrics around culture-fit—yields candidates we’re proud to stand by, long after the search is complete and the contract is signed.

 
 

Think of us as your internal, externals.
