Max Hansen

Max Hansen is the CEO and Co-Founder of Y Scouts, the first ever purpose-based leadership search firm. He has dedicated the last two decades of his life to providing the best hiring practices in leadership search and consulting. Max noticed somewhere in 2010-2011, the traditional contingent hiring model wasn’t allowing him to help organizations solve the deeper-rooted issues they were facing around their hiring practices. His desire to help organizations with the root of their challenges, along with the lack of meaning in his own work, pushed him to create Y Scouts. In 2015, he sold all his interests in three traditional recruiting companies to more aggressively pursue building Y Scouts and Purposed-based Leadership Search.
