Scottsdale, AZ (PRUnderground) March 19th, 2025
Max Hansen, CEO and Co-founder of Y Scouts, spoke at the premier SaaS Boardroom event, teaching rising star SaaS founders about how to build world-class teams. The elite Boardroom event is the highest-tier offering for SaaS Academy, which is known as the world’s number one B2B SaaS coaching service.
Hansen, who has worked in the recruitment industry for nearly 25 years, founded Y Scouts to disrupt antiquated and broken recruitment models. His approach is known as “hiring on purpose.” It helps companies clearly define their culture, mission, and values and find superstar leaders who fit perfectly into their ethos for long-term retention of executive talent.
“So often, companies need to fill an executive position, but they don’t know what kind of leader they want,” said Hansen. “We help them get crystal clear on their company’s DNA and vision. Then, we do the hard work to bring them only those candidates that are fully aligned with their culture and mission.”
Hansen taught attendees at the Boardroom event that the hiring process goes far beyond just sorting through resumes and holding interviews. For recruiting to be successful, it has to start with soul searching on the part of the company to determine what skills, leadership style, personality, and vision they want in a leader. He cautioned attendees that misaligned C-suite hires often cost companies up to $1.5 million.
SaaS Boardroom attendees report between $3 million and $30 million in average annual revenue. They came together at the event to tackle their hardest challenges, including hiring, scaling, and fundraising.
“This is a transformative event for a powerhouse community,” said Hansen. “It was an honor to help set these entrepreneurs up for success with C-suite recruitment and retainment. People are the only sustainable competitive advantage, and for these companies to thrive, they need strong processes for bringing in the right people.”
