Scout Motors at the 100-employee milestone? Lots of openings!

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

Given that an automotive manufacturer requires significant technical and professional expertise for a large portion of their openings and that basically everyone uses LinkedIn nowadays, I'd estimate the ratio of representation on LinkedIn vs unlisted employees is pretty high. There's just under 80 on LinkedIn right now, so they've probably passed or will be passing 100 employees very soon.

Just need to 20x that and plop down a factory 💪

How do people get into that remaining 20x? Is there some secret sauce I am unaware of as a freelancer, besides tapping Deutsch on the green owl?
 
The company primarily started building from the top down. It has also concentrated a bit on core business centers and engineering needs. Sale and Marketing will take a little longer, given there won't be product on the market for a couple of years. That said, new positions are going up all the time, and some product marketing positions have already been posted. Obviously, a LOT more positions will go up over the next two years plus.

Keep checking all the time. The team continues to grow every day. 🍺

Yeah, I noticed a ton of senior management hires in a short time, and that approach does make sense. I do have my eyes on the openings every day and I was probably among the very first applicants to their project management analyst role at Tysons, and re-applied within a few hours of the reposting of that role.

Sounds like part of the 'secret sauce' is persistence!

Anyway, congrats on the 100 people mark 😊
