Human-Centred Recruiting
When people are aligned with an organization and can bring their full selves to their work, they thrive. When people thrive, so do our workplaces and so do our communities.
Our Approach
Building your team is one of the most important aspects of any organization. Unfortunately, the traditional recruitment process can often feel impersonal and make it challenging for candidates to be authentic. At every step of our process, we encourage candidates, ‘don’t be generic, be yourself.” A reminder to embrace and showcase who they are, what they value and their unique contribution.
Inspired by ‘Placemaking’, a public planning philosophy that emphasizes collaboratively creating spaces to maximize shared value between the people and spaces that use them, we applied this thinking to the workplace and designed our recruitment process to prioritize clients’ and candidates’ needs, experiences, and well-being.
As your recruitment partner, through the Placemaking process:
- We get to know your organization, including your current cultural climate and the one you are striving for through our Cultural Snapshot.
- We work with you to identify and address potential biases, beliefs and barriers that may be holding you back from building a more dynamic team. In addition to our recruitment process, we offer additional team-building workshops, and online learning options.
- During the search, we go beyond a cover letter and resume to uncover a candidate’s values and purpose. When there is genuine alignment between individuals and organizations, a deeper commitment to a shared mission and overall vision is fostered.
Together, we will work towards building a more purposeful team: a team where people want to be, and a place where they can truly thrive.
Because when people thrive, so do our workplaces.
