Role Visioning

Our Role Visioning process and Success Outcome Design first allows us to become an extension of your organization by gaining a thorough understanding of its operations, culture, and growth objectives.

This key information serves as a roadmap during our Covert Discovery process with potential candidates.

Covert Discovery

The targeted outreach of the Covert Discovery process helps Y Scouts locate and meet with top C-suite candidates in your industry.

Without revealing specifics about your organization or the role, we have discussions with the candidates that allow them to speak openly and honestly about their experience, successes, passions, and future aspirations.

Y Scouts Leadership Model

The Y Scouts Leadership Model: Learn Relentlessly, Develop Others, and Drive Results

When leaders uphold these ideals, it allows them to feel like they’re fulfilling a greater purpose. And when that sense of gratitude and fulfillment is achieved, they’re inspired to help others achieve the same thing. Following this framework helps create a cycle of positivity and purpose that facilitates the growth of leaders, employees, and the business as a whole.

We don’t do placements.

Y Scouts was the best experience I had working with a recruiter from a recruiting standpoint. I was not looking for a position when I was contacted, but they answered all my questions, showed me the time and attention needed, and were totally transparent the entire time. Very professional, extremely engaged throughout the recruiting process. In the end, I accepted a higher-level position with a fantastic company. Thank You Y Scouts!

After using many different recruiting firms throughout my work experience, I can say that I was very impressed with them and was able to notice the difference immediately. The ability to track the ongoing process from a platform, not only with weekly meetings, was very valuable to me from a time savings perspective, but also allowing me on my own time to review the applicants and potential candidates in the most detail I have ever had. I would highly recommend Y Scouts to anyone, we will definitely use them in the future.
