You think recruiters are looking for the perfect resume. They're not.
While you're obsessing over bullet points and keywords, executive recruiters like Max Hansen are asking completely different questions: Who was there when the company scaled from $10M to $100M? Who drove results during the merger? Who can prove they develop people while delivering outcomes?
Join me and Max Hansen, co-founder of Y Scouts and author of "Hiring on Purpose," for an Executive Career Chat that reveals how top recruiters actually find and evaluate executive candidates.
Max has placed thousands of leaders and built a neuroscience-backed framework that goes far beyond traditional recruiting. He knows why some executives get multiple offers while others with identical credentials get passed over entirely.
This isn't about gaming the system or optimizing your LinkedIn profile for search algorithms. This is about understanding what executive recruiters value most—and positioning yourself accordingly.
Here's what you'll learn:
-The 3 leadership behaviors that separate executives from managers (and how to demonstrate them)
-Why recruiters care more about company growth during your tenure than your job title
-How to handle career gaps, interim roles, and industry transitions like a pro
-The digital presence mistakes that kill your chances before you even know you're being considered
-Why values alignment matters more than industry experience (and how to articulate yours)
-The virtual interview skills that can make or break your candidacy in today's market
Max will also share Y Scouts' "covert process" for identifying top talent and why the best opportunities never get posted on job boards.
If you're tired of wondering why your applications disappear into the void, this session will give you the recruiter's perspective you've been missing.
Our ever-popular Executive Career Chats are an incredibly valuable resource for executives looking to take their careers to the next level.
The access to industry experts, the quality of the content, and the networking opportunities make these sessions a must-attend for any ambitious executive
