At Y Scouts, we focus on more than just skills and experience. We make sure every CMO aligns deeply with your company's mission, vision, values, and culture. Through our Covert Discovery process and our Role Visioning & Success Outcome Design process, we engage candidates in purpose-driven conversations to understand what drives them, what their values are, and whether they align with your organization. Our Leadership Model for Hiring on Purpose allows us to identify CMOs who have both the capabilities and cultural fit that your company needs.
At Y Scouts, we evaluate a CMO's ability to lead in both B2B and B2C markets through our Purpose Driven approach, ensuring alignment with your company's mission, vision, values, and culture. We look for proven experience in creating and executing marketing strategies in both sectors, with a track record of driving growth and achieving results. Our Covert Discovery and Role Visioning & Success Outcome Design processes help us assess whether a candidate’s past experience and leadership style align with the unique demands of B2B and B2C environments.
While many firms attempt to specialize in certain roles or industries, at Y Scouts we believe a broader approach leads to greater success. We do not limit ourselves to one area because we know our proven process for Hiring on Purpose works across all executive leadership roles and in every industry. Our approach has been effective for roles such as CEO, COO, CFO, CMO, or any other executive leadership role.
Our unique strength lies in our Purpose Driven approach, which aligns leaders with your mission, vision, values, and culture. We understand that each executive position has distinct challenges and requires leaders who are not only skilled but also deeply connected to the organization’s purpose. This is why our Role Visioning & Success Outcome Design process is critical in defining what success looks like for each role. From strategic growth in a CEO position to operational excellence in a COO or financial leadership in a CFO, we ensure our candidates have the proven, real-world experience to meet your goals.
We have successfully placed leaders in industries such as consumer products, manufacturing, financial services, media, technology, professional services, and non-profit. What makes us truly different is our adaptability—our proven process works regardless of the industry or role, ensuring the best leader for every executive position.
Historically, our executive searches have taken an average of 90 days. With recent improvements to our process, we have reduced this average to 75 days, with our typical time to identify a candidate being around 14 days. These are averages, meaning the timeline can be a bit longer or shorter depending on the specific needs of the search.
The most important thing to understand is that we will never compromise on the quality of a candidate to meet a timeline. Finding the right CMO is critical for your organization, and it should not be rushed. We work closely with your team and are prepared to move as quickly as you can. As long as there are no delays on your end with regards to scheduling calls or providing candidate feedback, everything will move smoothly and efficiently, allowing us to find the best possible leader for your organization.
