Y Scouts has officially launched the public waitlist for its free Role Visioning Tool — an innovative platform designed to help leaders define success for executive roles before they ever post a job. Y Scouts executive search firm is known for aligning purpose and performance, and this tool provides companies with a faster, more accurate way to scope roles and align stakeholders before hiring.
According to Max Hansen, Y Scouts Co-founder and CEO, executive hiring is broken. Hansen said, “In an increasingly candidate-driven market, companies can’t afford to get leadership hires wrong — yet most still start the process with misaligned expectations, outdated job descriptions, and no clear success outcomes.”
Y Scouts’ proprietary Role Visioning Tool addresses this urgent executive recruiting need. By allowing founders, boards, and leadership teams to co-create a shared vision of success for any executive role, the tool helps organizations avoid costly hiring missteps and accelerates time-to-fill.
“Most hiring problems start before a single candidate is ever interviewed. Role Visioning solves that by aligning everyone on what success actually looks like — before you go to market,” said Hansen.
Founders, CEOs, HR leaders, and private equity-backed companies who are preparing to hire senior executives will benefit most from this tool. Rather than relying on guesswork, biased role assumptions, or copy-paste job descriptions, users can collaboratively define what success looks like for a role. This is especially critical for companies undergoing leadership transitions or scaling rapidly.
According to recent studies, as many as 70% of executives fail within 18 months due to poor cultural fit or misaligned expectations. This isn’t a sourcing problem — it’s a clarity problem. Y Scouts’ Role Visioning Tool is built on over a decade of executive search experience, distilling best practices into a streamlined platform that facilitates alignment before a single interview is scheduled. The tool reflects a broader trend: high-growth companies are prioritizing outcome-based hiring and internal alignment as a competitive advantage.
Named among America’s Best Executive Recruiters of 2025 by Forbes, Y Scouts is known for its white glove approach and purpose-driven hiring processes. These processes help companies get crystal clear on their mission, goals, and culture. With this clarity, Y Scouts can match companies with only the best-aligned candidates.
Y Scouts serves high-net-worth companies ($30 to $50 million), offering executive search services in manufacturing, technology, healthcare, and a broad range of other industries. Y Scouts’ track record speaks for itself: a 92% success rate and average fill rate of 75 days.
