Across the board these days, what seems to be the unifying factor in growing our teams and workplace “families,” are our desire to hire exceptional talent. Onboarding quality people has a ripple effect, because you are not just benefitting from their individual output, but rather your company as a whole benefits from their work ethic, leadership, values, and their contribution to the culture you are collectively building and nurturing.
We believe in empowering hiring managers, by giving them the indicators (tools) they need, to make an informed and intentional decision, when searching for top talent. It is what we have built our company on, and what we all believe is the way of hiring in today’s ever-changing market.
CEO & Co-Founder of Y Scouts, Max Hansen has also recently added Best-Selling author to his list of credits, with the wildly successful release of his book that he authored with Y Scouts Co-Founder, Brian Mohr. Here’s an excerpt from, Hiring on Purpose: How the Y Scouts Method is Revolutionizing the Search for Leaders:
“Purpose, values, and culture have come to matter as much as “market strategy,” top to bottom, in every organization. Indeed, in many industries, purpose, values, and culture have become almost synonymous with market strategy. Examples include Southwest Airlines, Harley-Davidson, Apple, REI, and Patagonia: all great examples of companies whose stated public missions attract the right talent and drive long-term, sustainable profit. Companies like these realize that the way they make money will be directly tied to the kind of talent they can attract and the way they recruit.
Importantly, we now see up to five different generations working together in a single company—with different generations operating at all levels of the organization, regardless of seniority, and not just on flexible schedules but often with highly malleable job definitions. These generations, along with their changeable roles, must be bound together by a common thread of DNA if they are to work as a team. Otherwise, sheer chaos will result. What’s the only DNA capable of binding everyone together? A replicable thread constructed of purpose, values, and culture.”
