What is a Scout mind set?

Why can some people cut through their biases and motivations to see facts and evidence objectively? The answer is the "Scout Mindset." This mindset drives individuals to seek the truth as honestly and accurately as possible, without bias.

Curiosity: Scouts derive pleasure from learning new information and solving puzzles.
Open-mindedness: Scouts don't see changing their minds as a weakness.
Growth-Oriented: Scouts are anchored in a constant growth mindset.

At iScout Consulting, we believe a scout mindset is essential when searching for talent. It ensures we see candidates for who they truly are, helping us make the best matches for both job seekers and employers.

TESTIMONIALS

See what People say about I-Scout

I had the privilege of first being recruited into my position as General Counsel--Americas at Navitas Life Sciences by Yamini and then working with her in the same office and on shared projects over a number of years. This gave me a broad and thorough perspective on Yamini's skill set and demeanor. Yamini presents and engages with people within the organization, as well as with job candidates, pleasantly, professionally, and efficiently. Yamini is skilled at identifying the core elements of a project or issue and tenaciously working towards these core elements. She has an acute sense of issue spotting and issue resolution. Yamini's oral and written communication skills are excellent. She is very clear and concise in her communications which allows her to quickly sift through large swaths of information and data to harvest that which is truly meaningful and helpful to the organization. Yamini's judgment is impeccable--instinctively knowing when she needs to seek and then harness help from other area experts. Yamini's kind, caring, and warm, yet always professional, personality is a tremendous asset that unquestionably uplifts the culture of the company. Yamini is a strong leader by example, but also a good leader by being a good follower and asking smart questions and testing concepts and strategies appropriately. I would highly recommend Yamini as I believe any organization would be fortunate to have her as a member of its employee team

General Counsel and Chief Administrative officer

Yamini is incredibly talented and very giving of her time and knowledge. Super smart, kind, patient, and thinks of the various aspects of a situation. She focuses on finding the right fit and is a refreshing voice within talent acquisition. Highly recommended!

I fully recommend Yamini Shankar as a top professional in her field. She pays close attention to detail and delivers an immaculate service. It is refreshing to work with Yamini, as she is both charming and courteous, follows-up diligently, thinks outside the box and is a problem solver-

Manager HR BP Thomson Reuters

Yamini takes keen interest in every job she handled and goes to the root of every problem, analyse and solve it. She has a good capacity to learn things very fast, grasp and implement the same with leadership quality

VP Operations Uniworld logistics

Yamini has been every productive in identifying high quality candidates for our consideration. We have closed 5 jobs very quickly, and we have strong candidates we are considering for 6-8 more positions. She is very proactive, responsive and knowledgeable, she seeks to learn more about how she can better support our needs, she adjusts her strategies when we need to consider other factors, and she is very patient with us when we need more time to consider candidates. We have also heard very positive (unsolicited) feedback from many of the candidates with whom she has interacted. Yamini is a great asset to our organization, especially as we are on a rapid growth path. I also believe she has tremendous potential to support not only the recruiting needs but also other HR management activities for KAI and more broadly. She is a superstar. I look forward to working with Yamini further as we continue the successful integration and growth of our organization
