Childcare Recruitment FAQs

Recruitment can feel complicated. Here are some of the questions we hear most often from childcare centres and early childhood educators before working with NexGen Recruiters.

We take the time and stress out of finding the right person. Instead of sorting through countless applications, we search for candidates who match your role, experience requirements and centre culture. We personally screen candidates before introducing them, so you can spend more time meeting suitable educators and less time searching.

Not necessarily. Our model is simple there are no upfront fees, ongoing retainers or lock-in contracts. You only pay our one-off referral fee if you hire a candidate we introduce. This gives your centre access to recruitment support without committing to ongoing agency costs.

We look beyond qualifications. We take the time to understand your centre, the role, your team and what you’re looking for in your next educator. We screen candidates based on their qualifications, experience, availability and suitability for the position before introducing them to your centre.

Absolutely. You don’t need to be actively looking for a new role to register with NexGen. If the right opportunity comes up, we can contact you about roles that match your experience, preferred location, availability and career goals. There is no obligation to accept an opportunity.

That’s okay. We understand that every workplace is different, and we’re here to understand your experience rather than judge it. We’ll take the time to learn what you’re looking for in your next centre, what type of environment suits you and what you want to avoid, so we can focus on opportunities that are a better match.

You always have the final say. We’ll introduce you to roles that match your experience, preferences and career goals, but you decide whether you want to apply, interview or accept an offer. Our role is to connect you with the right opportunities and support you through the process.
