About Eleven Recruiting

Who We Are

Specialized Recruiting Partner for Complex Industries.

Headquartered in Los Angeles with national reach, we specialize in financial services, aerospace, and other regulated, technical environments where alignment matters more than speed.

Eleven Recruiting is not a volume-based staffing firm. We are a precision recruiting partner.

We operate at the intersection of:

Clients rely on us when misalignment is costly. We approach every search with structure, technical fluency, and disciplined evaluation.

We work best with organizations that value long-term performance over short-term placement metrics.

Why Eleven

The Standard Behind Our Name

The name Eleven reflects the standard we hold ourselves to — in our work, our partnerships, and our impact.

To us, 11 represents discipline, accountability, and excellence. It is a number associated with progress, intention, and forward thinking — values that shape how we operate every day.

Like Apollo 11, which marked a pioneering moment in innovation and achievement, we believe meaningful progress comes from precision, preparation, and execution. The number also connects to the 11th sign of the zodiac, Aquarius, often associated with humanity, technology, and community — principles that align closely with our vision and the way we build relationships.

Most importantly, Eleven represents our approach to search. We value quality over volume. Every search is conducted with intention, presenting fewer candidates but stronger matches built for long-term success rather than short-term placement metrics.

The number also reflects our commitment beyond business. We donate 11 percent of profits to education-focused nonprofits because we believe success should create opportunity for others.
