ElevenX did a great job for us on our CMO role.

“We wanted to explore a few different candidate profiles and they helped us navigate that process quickly and effectively. Ultimately, they found a very unique candidate who is not only a strong marketing operator but a thought leader in the industry. ElevenX also filled the role in under 3 months which exceeded our expectations.”

Quinn Slack
Founder/CEO

ElevenX understood the caliber of candidates we were looking for from the very beginning.

“ElevenX understood the caliber of candidates we were looking for from the very beginning. They were intentional in their approach and only brought forward candidates who truly aligned with our needs. We’re incredibly happy with the CMO they helped us hire.”

Yoav Zurel

David, Janine and Regan were great partners on our CMO search.

“Their extensive operational experience and network were a big advantage that allowed us to move quickly and find an exceptional hire.”

Troy Pospisil

ElevenX did a great job on our CMO search!

“We had a very high bar for this role and they found an incredibly strong panel of candidates. As former operators they have a powerful talent network to draw from.”

Sally Bruce
COO

Working with ElevenX has been one of the best experiences we've had.

“Feel free to use me as a reference for any clients. You've closed two searches in the time it typically takes firms to close one. What truly stands out about ElevenX is that I always feel you're focused on placing the best candidate for us, not closing a candidate.”

Yin Wu
Founder/CEO

Thank you for helping us fill 2 critical VP level roles so quickly.

“I didn't have time to teach a recruiter about the nuances of these GTM roles. It was a pleasure working with someone 
who understands the roles as well as you do.”
