Executive Search & Recruitment Services for the Media Industry

Y Scouts specializes in executive-level searches across the C-suite and VP levels for the media, marketing, and communications sectors. We work closely with companies in these industries to find leaders who align with their mission, vision, values, and culture. Whether you’re looking for a key executive in marketing, communications, or media leadership, our Purpose Driven approach ensures we find the right leader to drive your organization forward.

Y Scouts leverages our dedicated research team, which uses a variety of tools and software, along with our internal databases and networks, to source from over 1.5 billion profiles. This, combined with our Role Visioning & Success Outcome Design process, helps determine what the ideal candidate looks like based on the success criteria for the role. Our team then engages the best candidates through our Covert Discovery process, ensuring they are culturally aligned while reaffirming their qualifications.

Y Scouts serves a wide range of industries within the media and communications space, including advertising, public relations, broadcasting, digital media, and content creation. Our Purpose Driven approach to executive recruiting is effective across these diverse sectors, ensuring that we find leaders who align with your company’s mission, vision, values, and culture. We focus on placing executives who can drive innovation and lead teams effectively in an ever-evolving industry.

Y Scouts ensures a cultural fit between candidates and media organizations by leveraging our Organizational DNA, Role Visioning & Success Outcome Design, and Leadership Model for Hiring on Purpose processes. The Organizational DNA helps us understand your company’s culture, mission, and values, ensuring we fully align on what makes your organization unique. The Role Visioning process helps define what success looks like in the role, including the qualifications and experience needed. Our Leadership Model for Hiring on Purpose ensures candidates demonstrate relentless learning, driving results, and developing others. Through our Covert Discovery process, we engage candidates to assess their alignment with these criteria, ensuring a strong cultural fit for your organization.

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 executive for your media, marketing, or communications company is critical, 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.
