CLIENT
Getting to know you is serious business.
Naturally, every agency is unique. Unlike some staffing operations, we know a stack of resumes in your lap or inbox won't get you any closer to finding the right person/people. That's precisely why we meet and collaborate with you from day one and stay in regular contact with you throughout the process to assure the best possible person/people are applying for the job(s).
Our interests extend beyond your clients and success rate. We seek solutions which can only be answered with a vested personal interest in and a passion for the industry, or dare we say, "the craft"? Nah, sounds too crafty.
More than the portfolio. You hire the person. Our goal isn’t to simply fill an open slot, but to present the best possible person/people. Our insider knowledge and combined, vast agency experience enables us to read between the lines and understand the person/people you need, beyond their skill set.
We Deliver
We are loyal to our clients and talent. After all, both sides should - and will - be proud of what they have received.
WHO WE ARE
Dept. 11 is a recruiting and consulting company for the digital and general advertising communities. Large or small, we've been there and want to help you. Dept. 11 is co-owned by well-connected, uniquely talented women: Kerri Schoonyoung and Cyndi McVicker Lambert.
Kerri Schoonyoung
Kerri offers more than 12 years of experience from the strategic and production management specialties from such shops as Tribal DDB, Y&R, FCB and Whittman Hart. She has mastered the delicate balance of sensing where/when freelancers and full-time staff fit best, and brings a wealth of digital experience to the table, not to mention a cool head when handling complex projects. Well, we did mention it, and we mean it. She knows what’s what.

Cyndi McVicker Lambert
Cyndi arrives from the general agency side. She has enjoyed more than a decade of successful in-house and off-site recruiting at some of Chicago's major agencies like Razorfish, FCB and JWT. What makes her different than, say, Joe the Headhunter? Her unwavering passion for the creative process and its people. She pays attention to all levels of hiring, and keeps her ears and eyes open, even on weekends. She goes from the gut, uses her head and heart and always has her candidates’ interests in mind. She’s the kind of person who regularly places more importance on the right partnership than a quick fill.
