V Shred, founded in 2016, has rapidly become one of the fastest-growing fitness brands online, serving over 5 million customers worldwide. The company provides online fitness, nutrition, and supplement programs designed to help people transform their lives with customized plans that make health and fitness accessible for all. As V Shred continued to expand, Nick Daniel, co-founder and CEO, knew he needed a COO but wasn’t entirely sure what the perfect candidate for the role would look like. That’s where Y Scouts came in.
While Nick had a clear vision for the role of a COO, he was uncertain about the specific qualifications and experience the ideal candidate should bring to the table. He had dealt with other recruiting firms that missed the mark, offering candidates who didn’t align with V Shred’s culture or the company’s ambitious goals. Nick needed a partner who could help define the role more clearly and deliver top-tier talent capable of leading the company’s growth.
Previous recruitment efforts left Nick frustrated with underwhelming results and wasted time interviewing candidates who didn’t fit V Shred’s culture. He was wary of repeating that experience and needed a streamlined process that would only present well-vetted, high-quality candidates. Nick wanted a recruiting partner who could source candidates aligned with his company’s vision and goals, eliminating the need for time-consuming, mismatched interviews.
Y Scouts took a different approach. We worked closely with Nick to clarify his needs, helping him refine the COO role before the first candidate interview. Our team brought candidates to the table who weren’t actively looking for jobs but were intrigued by the opportunity and vision we presented. This focus on sourcing culturally aligned, high-caliber talent meant that when Nick started interviewing, he was impressed from the start. Each candidate was a strong contender, making the decision both exciting and difficult.
Within a few weeks, Y Scouts delivered several top-tier candidates for the COO position, all of whom exceeded Nick’s expectations. One candidate, in particular, stood out by identifying new revenue streams and opportunities for business growth in just the second interview. The thorough vetting process and personalized approach left Nick confident in his final choice. He appreciated the seamless process, the time-saving elements, and the high-quality candidates we provided, allowing him to focus on V Shred’s continued growth.
“It’s the only recruiting firm I’ve ever worked with where the experience was world-class start to finish. I didn’t feel like just a random customer. I felt like their number one priority. The quality of candidates was beyond what I expected, and Y Scouts delivered the exact outcome we needed.”

Through a collaborative process, we helped Nick clarify the role he needed and delivered candidates who were not only qualified but also deeply aligned with the company’s mission. Our approach saved Nick time and stress, allowing him to confidently select a leader who could guide V Shred’s growth.
