Placemaking 4G - Socially-conscious recruiting

Build stronger, more dynamic teams and foster cultures of belonging.

When people thrive, so do their workplaces. When workplaces thrive, so do communities.

We help you build thoughtful teams through socially-conscious recruiting, leading human dynamics practices and measurable equity, diversity and inclusion stategies.

We work to transform workplaces by helping employers build stronger and more inclusive teams through socially-conscious recruiting, and innovative approaches to human dynamics and equity, diversity and inclusion practices.

We envision a future where every single person feels comfortable bringing their full, authentic selves to work and their contributions are valued. They feel safe, seen, heard and celebrated. They have autonomy over their definition of success and the opportunity to reach their full potential.

We work with organizations with big ambitions; those who want to ensure their teams are cultivated based on what's possible and not what’s familiar.

We listen to understand the needs and culture of our clients. This insight is used to help clients build more productive teams and recruit contributors who are aligned and ready to bring their full selves to work.

In addition to helping build your dream team, we work with you to nurture inclusive workplace cultures and retain people. Together, we help you design human-centered workplace policies and embody diversity, equity and inclusion strategies to enhance psychological safety, communication and intercultural awareness at all levels of your organization. We work with you on the first steps toward creating an environment of belonging.

We are a Social Enterprise Community Interest Company (CIC).

What does that mean? It means we have chosen to register our company as an organization that is mandated to re-invest 60% of our profits back into local communities to amplify the impact of grass-roots, community-driven initiatives that align with our mission. As a newer organization, our investments may be small but with time, our impact will grow with us.

The team behind our dream is composed of purposeful individuals, from Human Dynamic Specialists to Equity and Belonging Advisors, Training Facilitators, Communicators and Placemakers. We are passionate about what we do and more importantly how we do it.

What People are Saying

“When our organization was faced with the daunting task of acquiring new talent, we turned to P4G to help us navigate the full spectrum of activities involved with recruitment and hiring. We have hired eight people in the past year with Bradley and Matt's help and couldn't be more pleased with the results. They made the process easy for us; teaching and guiding us through new ways of finding and acquiring great employees. P4G has been instrumental in the successful growth of our organization.”

Kathy Mckee

Executive Director, NSCDA

"The way P4G positioned their work with us was holistic. It's clear how each of their team members, with their different depth of experiences and skills, were involved in the process. It was like a one stop shop of diverse talent. Their net for reaching prospective candidates was so wide and far reaching in the community. Back and forth communication throughout the process was timely, effective, human centric and transparent. We lived on the P4G energy for weeks."

“It has been a pleasure working with you and P4G. We really appreciate all the effort you and your team took in understanding our organization, the needs of the community and ultimately finding a great candidate for the North Branch Manager.

We choose P4G because your goal aligns with the Library’s – improving lives. The care and approach you had for this search sets P4G apart from other recruitment agencies that I have worked with.”
