Childcare Recruitment, Done Right
We help childcare centres across Australia find great early childhood educators quickly and affordably – no stress, no inflated fees, just real results.
Helping Centres Hire With Heart
Hi, I’m Jovana – mum of three, founder of NexGen Recruiters, and someone who’s worked hands-on in early childhood for over 10 years.
I started NexGen Recruiters because I saw how broken the hiring process had become – high fees, rushed placements, and too many people just filling gaps instead of building great teams. So I flipped the model.
We keep it simple, personal, and honest. No sales targets, no inflated commissions – just a focus on finding the right people for the right centres, so everyone wins.
Built for Better Childcare Hires
After years working in childcare leadership, I saw the same staffing issues again and again – good early childhood educators were hard to find, and the hiring process was often slow, expensive, and impersonal.
NexGen Recruiters was created to cut through all that. We work fast, keep it personal, and focus on long-term fits – not quick placements that fall through.
We’re here to make childcare recruitment easier for centres and more rewarding for early childhood educators. It’s about building lasting teams, not just ticking boxes.
Connecting Centres & Educators Who Care
We support two sides of the same story — childcare centres that need reliable, values-aligned staff, and early childhood educators looking for roles where they can genuinely thrive. Whether it’s filling permanent positions or stepping in last-minute, we make hiring feel less like a chore and more like a conversation. Our approach is personal, practical, and built on trust — because when the match is right, everything runs smoother.
Childcare Centres
Whether you run a small, community-led service or a large multi-site group, we’ll help you find educators who genuinely care.
Qualified Educators
Certificate III and Diploma educators, early childhood teachers, educational leaders, assistant directors and centre directors.
All Hiring Needs
Permanent staff, casual temps, and short-term contracts — we match you with the right person quickly, without cutting corners.
Because This Work Deserves Better Hiring
Most agencies treat recruitment like a numbers game. We don’t. We specialise in early childhood because it’s personal – and getting it wrong costs more than just time.

We’re not here to push numbers or pad out pipelines. NexGen Recruiters delivers real outcomes – fast. Whether it’s a local centre needing someone yesterday, or a remote provider struggling to attract the right fit, we know how to move quickly and do it properly.
We’ve built strong relationships with centres across the country by being transparent, responsive, and results-driven. The proof? Most of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals – because when you genuinely solve problems, people remember.
