Y Scouts was proud to sponsor the Chief Executive Group’s CEO Talent Summit, held at the Delta Flight Museum in Atlanta, GA, on April 1-2. This high-impact event brought together top executives from across the country to explore how to build and lead exceptional teams that thrive amidst uncertainty.
The summit was organized by the Chief Executive Group, which is dedicated to improving the performance of CEOs, senior executives, and directors of public companies. They accomplish this through peer networks, live events, research, and publications that empower leaders of virtually every sizable company in the U.S.
The CEO Talent Summit featured insights from respected leaders, including Ed Bastian (CEO of Delta Air Lines), Donna Orender (former WNBA President), Eric Vaughan (CEO of IgniteTech), Captain Alexander Armatas (Commanding Officer of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels), and prominent leadership-focused authors Zach Mercurio and Ashley Goodall.
“Whether an organization will sink or thrive in these fast-changing times has much less to do with bank accounts than it does with people,” said Jessica Combs, Managing Director at Y Scouts executive recruiting firm. “It was an honor to be part of this summit dedicated to helping CEOs recruit and retain teams that align with their companies’ values and can weather whatever the future brings.”
Founder and CEO Max Hansen launched YScouts after observing fractures in the traditional executive recruiting process. He saw that companies would often push to fill a C-suite role without defining their needs and goals for that position. Then, they hired based on skillsets or resumes alone, without making sure candidates aligned with their companies’ values, mission, and goals. The result was bad hires at the executive level that often cost companies up to $1 million.
Y Scouts provides an alternative with retained search recruiting. This approach offers a payment model that incentivizes perfectly aligned hires for long-term loyalty — not rushed hires that too often end in painful mismatches. Y Scouts backs its services with a six-month guarantee and boasts a 92% success rate.
Y Scouts contributed to the conversation at the prestigious CEO Summit, sharing their models for purpose-driven recruiting. Their sponsorship helped facilitate inspiring keynote speeches, workshops, peer learning, and strategic networking opportunities. The result was an inspiring opportunity for CEOs and other leaders to improve their ability to create and maintain a motivated, resilient, future-focused workforce.
