Pros

The clients we get to support are incredibly inspirational, each with a mission, values, and culture that makes the world a better place. In addition to working with amazing clients and supporting values-driven candidates, we get to unite the right people with the right jobs in the right companies. That equation creates value for everyone and helps organizations and businesses succeed. Our teams are collaborative and dynamic. Each day brings interesting new challenges. Leadership is incredibly supportive. Tons of room for professional development and career growth.

Cons

We're a young organization and growing quickly. The environment is great if you're comfortable with ambiguity and willing to work both hard and smart. If you need lots of structure or get bothered when things change (to make them better) this won't be the place for you.

Pros

I joined Y Scouts ~ 2 years ago after a career in boutique agency recruiting, professional services/consulting and eventually recruiting internally with a SaaS company. I was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug and actually left that company to start my own - I soon found Y Scouts and the opportunity to join a purpose-driven, transparent and optimistic organization where each employee worked ON the business, not just in the business. We've learned a lot about business and our markets, we've continued to refine our unique approach to qualifying and aligning executive talent, and we're having a lot of fun doing it. Our office is smack in the middle of Old Town Scottsdale, which is fun for happy hours and team lunches, as well as centrally located. Benefits are competitive, compensation is above market and rewards both individual and team performance.

Cons

As a small and growing business, naturally, we're resources constrained. In order to be successful here, you must be a self-starter, take initiative and not simply wait for direction or training. We're doing what it takes to follow through on commitments to our clients and each other, which can mean longer hours, constant learning (figure it out!). Growth opportunities do depend on the success of the business - as we grow, more opportunities will present themselves to the team, but if you're not stuck on title, there is a never-ending list of opportunities to work on projects outside of your job description.
