Frequently Asked Questions

eyrecruit is an applicant tracking software specifically designed for the Early Years sector. This recruitment platform enables Early Years providers to post their job to multiple job boards from one central system ensuring a wider reach to job seekers. Once a candidate applies, eyrecruit ensures a consistent hiring process with a bespoke recruitment pipeline, custom workflows and automated communication.

All jobs are automatically posted to the eyworks Jobs by eyrecruit job board, which is seamlessly integrated with Google Jobs. Additional job boards include Indeed, offering both a free account and a paid version for job sponsorship, as well as daynurseries.co.uk and Totaljobs, which operate on a credit-based system that must be purchased directly from them.

No not at all! Our pipeline view can be fully tailored to match your existing process, with completely customisable stages and sub-stages that work seamlessly alongside bespoke workflows.

eyrecruit features a comprehensive analytics dashboard that delivers in-depth insights into job postings, applications, interview metrics, and conversion rates. A range of analytics tools are available, allowing you to view data for anything from a single nursery to the entire company over a specified time period, all designed to support informed decision-making across your organisation.

We also offer seamless integration of your eyworks data with other business applications and Business Intelligence (BI) tools through direct integration, data APIs and CSVs.

eyrecruit helps nursery owners and managers to post job openings and oversee the entire hiring process – from interviews to offers – all in one place, ensuring consistency and efficiency. Candidates benefit from a seamless recruitment experience, which helps create a positive first impression of your business.

Absolutely not, eyrecruit is one of our products and can be taken completely standalone. However, if taken with eypeople, a staff profile will automatically be created with all the staff’s details once they are hired. eyrecruit product subscription starts from £22 per month and includes all available features.

Start your journey to more consistent hiring with our Early Years recruitment software.
