Success Stories

I don't use a lot of recruiters and the few I work with have to know how to source quickly and consistently top talent that is the right fit for the role. Ryan is one of those - a go-getter who can reliably find great talent in the tightest market. He is smart, persistent, and fun to work with, which is why candidates are willing to entertain his calls. He's the first recruiter I call when I need help

Ryan was probably one of the last recruiters to call me about finding me a job. But that means very little when you consider that he came prepared with a great job opening and an above-average knowledge of my field of work. He knew the job description, the technology stack, and the culture. So there was little question he had found me a great job by the time he had gotten to know me. I've been at my job now for 4 months and the process could not have gone down any more smoothly. I'll be directing my developer friends to him if given the opportunity, as well.

Ryan is a talented and exceptional recruiter. One of the best really. He encourages you and picks the best position that fits your career path. In addition, he's persistent and never gives up on the candidate to land a job. He was able to get me a job where there are many opportunities to grow and learn. If he is able to take an unlikely candidate like me, in the most impossible situation, and see potentials to get a job, he will most certainly land you one as well. It was a unique and fun experience to work with him. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Ryan is an exceptional recruiter, always thinking about the client business and how to go above and beyond expectations. His clients love his attention to detail and his extra care with each opportunity. Always willing to help, he can handle more than any recruiter that I have ever worked with and would highly recommend him to anyone lucky enough to work with him.

Ryan was a pleasure to work with during my job hunt. He worked hard to find a position for me in San Francisco, even going so far as to keep the chain of communication going while on his vacation. I would definitely recommend him for your job search.

When Ryan says he will get things done for you, he certainly will. He guided me though an interview process and went beyond the call of duty to make sure I was in the best position to receive an offer. I definitely would like to work with him in the future. Trust is a rare commodity in this profession and I can certainly say that you can trust him.

Ryan helped me land an awesome position that has branched out into many new opportunities for my career. He was always on top of my interests and literally had me working in days from leaving my old job. I would highly recommend Ryan if you are on the market looking for a new job.

During my last job search, Ryan contacted me about a position that I would otherwise not have considered. I took the position, and it's been a fantastic fit. Since then, I have used Ryan to find great talent for my team. He has an impressive ability to elicit and understand what I need as an employer, and to track down people would be great for the role. Ryan has a great sense of the market, understands high tech skill sets, and communicates well with both recruits and employers. Highly recommended.

Ryan not only introduced me to an amazing opportunity, but also helped me negotiate an astounding executive compensation package. After I joined the company, he followed up several times to make sure I was completely happy with the new gig. I'm very grateful for Ryan's help.

I hired Max and Y Scouts to recruit a new CFO and was delighted with the process and results. Max and his team went above and beyond to understand our company and culture, including attending internal company meetings, reading through volumes of background documents and spending hours interviewing our leadership team. Throughout the process, Max stayed engaged and regularly checked in to confirm that I was comfortable with the process. I highly recommend Max and the entire Y Scouts team to any company who appreciates the importance of a candidate's cultural fit. Other recruiting firms can also do a great job of finding a talented candidate with the requisite skills, but only Y Scouts has a diagnostic process to determine if the candidate will fit the culture.

Our business is about the WHY. It was refreshing to find another company that understands Purpose.

I have known Max for 25 years, and to say he’s a “stand up guy” would be an understatement! Max and his team at Y Scouts are remarkable at what they do: finding top talent that will FIT and STICK at the firms where they place them. This is due to the unique proprietary process Y Scouts has developed which never fails to deliver outstanding results.

I’ve worked with Max for over two years— He’s a leader who is not only passionate about recruiting— but also aims to lead in line with his values— walking the walk as he “talks the talk.” I would recommend working with Max if you care about a recruiting agency that doesn’t just find the perfect candidate on paper— but also finds the leader that elevates your culture to a new level.

Max and the team at Y Scouts bring a personalized approach to recruiting that creates not only a great match for the work, but a truly rewarding and purposeful experience for all parties. A white glove, hands on process that is very rare in today's recruiting environment.

Max and Y Scouts has taken everything painful out of the executive recruiting process and made it into an enjoyable partnership that focuses on the purpose and not the payday! I know I have aligned myself and my organization with an ethical, outstanding leader who uses business as a force for good. Max and his team continue to deliver exceptional service long after the "transaction" is closed. I can't give enough high praise and recognition for the work he does!

I am really impressed with the vision Max has for Y Scouts. He is leading the way for a desperately needed new model for recruiting...purposed-based recruiting. Companies that care about creating the right culture in their workplace should seriously consider this new approach to recruiting!
