A CCO who understands your industry’s requirements and your organization’s ethical standards can help drive sustainable growth. Our executive search process goes beyond traditional methods, prioritizing culture-fit and value alignment.
Whether you’re an energy corporation or a healthcare startup, our CCO search services adapt to your needs.

Corporations
Corporations need a CCO who can develop, implement, and monitor compliance across all teams and functional areas. The right CCO will ensure adherence to legal standards so your organization avoids unnecessary risks and prioritizes sustainable growth.
Startups
For startups wanting to scale rapidly, risk management and legal compliance is crucial, especially in heavily regulated sectors. A talented CCO oversees a compliance and ethics program that keeps up with the demands of a growing business.
Nonprofits
Nonprofits need a CCO who emphasizes the organization's values while managing risk and overseeing compliance. The right CCO will ensure that legal regulations and ethical standards are met so nonprofits can focus on their mission.
Family Businesses
A CCO can step into a family business to help bridge the gap between tradition and innovation. Culture fit is essential for family-run companies—a skilled CCO will align with company values while still promoting adherence to regulations and standards.
Tech Companies
Data privacy is a top consideration for tech companies, along with compliance to a rapidly-changing policy environment. With a talented CCO, tech companies can stay both competitive and risk-averse.
Healthcare Organizations
As a highly regulated industry, healthcare requires a skilled and experienced CCO who can implement a comprehensive compliance program that balances legal regulations and organizational ethics.

This Is How We Help You Hire Exceptional Leaders
At Y Scouts, our approach goes beyond standard executive search methods to find the perfect compliance leader for your forward-thinking organization. We identify CCOs who not only excel at running compliance programs but also align with your company’s core values and long-term strategy.
Strategy Session
We start the process by meeting with your company’s key stakeholders to gather insights and develop a tailored search strategy. In this initial session, the goal is ensuring we have the information needed to collect candidate profiles that match your CCO expectations.
The Y Scouts Process
We engage top-tier candidates with our covert outreach process, designed to attract CCOs who meet your unique business needs. We thoroughly vet candidates with discovery calls and in-depth discussions to confirm that they align with your mission, values, and compliance knowledge essential to the role.
Candidate Assessment
When it’s time for you to meet the qualified candidates, we help you develop a laser-focused interview process to uncover the best compliance and risk management leadership. With our guidelines and best practices, you can assess their expertise and strategic vision.
The Offer Stage
Once you’ve found your ideal CCO, it’s time to put together a competitive offer. We assist with offer templates, compensation advice, negotiation strategies, and more. Our involvement ensures a smooth transition from interview to acceptance.
Successful Candidate Placement
Congratulations, your ideal CCO has accepted your offer! We continue to provide assistance by finalizing the onboarding process, including role expectations, paperwork, and thorough reference checks to make your CCO’s start date as seamless as possible.
Ongoing Support
Our assistance doesn’t stop after the candidate signs the offer. We develop a detailed onboarding plan that includes check-ins at 30, 60, 90, 180, and 365 days to help you monitor your new CCO’s performance and evaluate their integration in your organization.
At Y Scouts, we make the process of finding your next CCO simple, effective, and effortless. Our streamlined and collaborative approach means that you will find the perfect CCO for your business — guaranteed!

Frequently Asked Questions
We specialize in finding purpose-driven leaders with a strong background in compliance and risk management, who also fit seamlessly into your company’s mission and values. We do more than assess qualifications and experience.
We use our Covert Discovery process to identify top-tier candidates who could be an excellent fit for your organization but may not be actively applying for jobs. We also design the process with Role Visioning and Success Outcomes so that all stakeholders align on what success looks like for your organization—and we find the CCO who can help work toward that success.
We use our Leadership Model for Hiring on Purpose to accurately gauge leadership skills that will fit within your organization. Whether they oversee compliance, technology, operations, or human resources, all great leaders learn relentlessly, have a proven track record of helping others, and drive results that align with your goals.
In the past, we averaged 90 days for an executive search process. We’re constantly looking to improve our process, however, and with recent changes we’ve managed to shorten the time span to 75 days. Our typical time to identify a candidate is about 14 days. Of course, these numbers represent averages. The process could be slightly longer or shorter depending on your specific needs.
Keep in mind that we never compromise on quality so that we can stick to a timeline. A CCO is a critical hire for your organization and we put the work in to find the ideal candidate. The process shouldn’t be rushed, but the timeline also relies a bit on your communication, feedback, and responsiveness with our team. If you’re ready to move quickly, so are we.
We never post jobs publicly and we never will. Confidentiality is essential to our work at Y Scouts—it’s why we developed our Covert Discovery approach. When we reach out to potential candidates, we don’t share your company’s name or title upfront. We invite them on a discovery call to explore if they’re a good fit for your CCO role.
We’ve found that this outreach method gets a 30% higher response rate. Why? It sparks curiosity and differs from other executive search firms. During our candidate discovery calls, we focus on questions about mission, values, motivation, and what drives them. Without the company name or role, candidates can’t do any research ahead of time, so they share their honest answers.
Y Scouts is industry-agnostic, so we can conduct leadership searches for any industry. Purpose-driven leaders can be found in any industry, so our approach lets us conduct executive searches for a wide range of organizations.
Some of the industries we do tend to work most with, however, are:
- Consumer Products
- Manufacturing & Industrial
- Financial Services
- Media, Marketing & Communication
- Technology & Innovation
- Professional Services
- Non-Profit
