Y Scouts' new AI-powered tool is available to select private equity forms, helping them define success metrics for leadership roles and accelerate executive hiring.
(PRUnderground) October 20th, 2025
One massive roadblock to hiring effective, aligned C-suite leaders is failing to get clear on what stakeholders want and need from the role in the first place. Y Scouts is clearing that obstacle with its AI-powered Role Visioning Tool that helps leaders define executive roles with clarity and precision before a search ever begins.
Y Scouts’ proprietary Role Visioning Tool drills down to exactly what stakeholders want for C-suite positions, including the skills, communication styles, leadership styles, and values needed to magnify the role and align with the company as a whole. Now in private beta, the tool is being offered to select private equity (PE) firms looking to upgrade their portfolio company leadership teams. During this beta period, PE firms are invited to use the Role Visioning Tool for free to help define success metrics, align stakeholders, and speed up the C-suite recruiting process.
Designed specifically for growth-stage companies where a poor hire can stall momentum, the tool eliminates guesswork, bias, and politics from the hiring process. This gives PE operating partners and talent leaders a clear, repeatable way to set search strategy with precision.
According to Max Hansen, Y Scouts CEO, “Private equity firms don’t have time to get executive hiring wrong. Every misstep costs millions in lost value creation. The Role Visioning Tool gives operating partners the clarity they need to make the right hire the first time — without wasting cycles. We built this tool because we’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when everyone’s aligned on what success looks like from day one.”
Hansen pointed out that this is an especially important executive search asset for private equity SaaS companies in the midst of fast growth or leadership changes. Founders, CEOs, and HR leaders can rely on it to unify different input from stakeholders behind one crystal-clear vision for the open role.
Studies show that up to 70% of executives fail within 18 months of being hired, largely because they don’t fit the culture of the company or meet the expectations of stakeholders. Y Scouts’ Role Visioning Tool helps prevent these costly mismatches with best practices gleaned over 10 years of experience in the industry.
Y Scouts provides high-net-worth companies ($30 to $50 million) with exceptional executive search services for technology, healthcare, financial services, construction, marketing and communication, and consumer product industries. The company boasts a 92% success rate and 75-day average fill rate. It was named to Forbes’ 2025 list of America’s Best Executive Recruiters.
