Tyler Privette

Search Director

My Favorite Core Value Is “Consultative Sincerity”

Tyler is based in Sacramento, California. He earned his B.A. in Communication from San Diego State University, where he developed the relationship-building instincts that would come to define his career. He got his start in recruiting at MGA Healthcare, placing healthcare professionals across the country, before joining ConnectPoint Search Group, where he spent more than eight years as an Executive Recruiter specializing in accounting, finance, and HR leadership.

Over nearly a decade in executive search, Tyler has led confidential searches spanning mid-management through the C-suite for both growth-stage and established organizations. He has advised clients on compensation strategy, market trends, and talent structure while building a deep network of high-performing professionals across public accounting, private industry, real estate, construction, and professional services. Known for precision targeting, cultural alignment, and long-term placement success, Tyler believes the best placements happen when purpose, values, leadership style, and business objectives align — not just skills and experience.

What Tyler enjoys most is learning people’s stories and connecting great leaders with opportunities where they can do their best work. As a Search Director at Y Scouts, he leads high-touch retained search engagements that connect purpose-driven companies with leaders who align deeply with their mission, values, and vision for growth.
