Less time on job boards, more time in the rooms
In a sector where staffing is the biggest hurdle to staying sustainable, you need practical tools that work as hard as you do.
As the only platform with a dedicated recruitment solution, we’ve built eyrecruit to give you everything you need to build a stable, happy team and a resilient nursery.
Maximum visibility with minimum effort
One-click publishing to reach more people:
Create your vacancy once and push it out to where candidates are actually looking, saving you from repetitive data entry and making sure your roles get visibility immediately.
Auto-post to our early years job board - Jobs by eyworks:
Don't scroll through a list of irrelevant candidates... Every vacancy is instantly listed on our job board built exclusively for the early years sector, putting your roles directly in front of a dedicated pool of early years professionals.
Social sharing that reaches your local community:
Don't let your vacancy sit quietly on a job board, share it directly to your nursery's social media pages with a single click, helping you find candidates who already know and love your setting.
Stop repeating yourself with job cloning:
If you’re frequently hiring for common roles like Level 3 Practitioners, you can simply "clone" your existing templates instead of re-typing descriptions. Helpful when you need to get an advert live on a busy Tuesday afternoon.
Post roles in minutes, not hours
Put your nursery’s best foot forward. We’ve simplified the entire setup process, giving you the tools to build a professional employer brand and launch vacancies in minutes, not hours.
- Create professional job adverts in moments: Stop wrestling with blank screens or complex formatting. You can build and publish polished vacancies for roles in just a few clicks, removing the manual admin that slows down your hiring process.
- A custom careers portal that looks the part: You don’t need to be a tech expert to have a professional presence - eyrecruit gives you a branded careers page that you can embed directly into your own website. It’s a simple way to showcase your setting's personality and build trust with potential candidates from the very first click.
- Stand out with a dedicated employer profile: Your setting is more than just a name in a list. When you post on the Jobs by eyworks board, you get a professional company profile to showcase your unique culture and values. It is a simple way to attract practitioners who truly fit your team, helping you build the long-term stability your setting deserves.
Complete control from application to offer
Recruitment doesn’t end when the advert goes live, that’s just the start. eyrecruit’s pipeline helps you manage every candidate, so no-one falls through the cracks.
- Customisable pipelines and substages: Tailor your recruitment journey to fit your setting's specific needs. Move candidates through clear stages and substages, so you always know exactly where everyone stands at a glance.
- A central hub for tasks, events, and notes: Ditch the sticky notes and messy spreadsheets. Track every interview, log internal comments, and set task reminders for your team in one shared space.
- Seamless candidate communication: Send interview invites or updates without leaving the dashboard, ensuring a fast, responsive experience that shows candidates your nursery is an organised and stable place to work.
- Built-in Safer Recruitment checks: Build your compliance evidence naturally as you hire. Track references and essential checks directly within a candidate’s profile so you can prove you have met every regulatory requirement.
Smarter hiring with effortless analytics
Stop guessing where your best people come from. eyrecruit tracks the data behind your hiring, giving you the “technical advantage” to see exactly where to spend your time and how to speed up your process.
- Pinpoint your best application sources: See exactly which job boards and social media platforms are bringing in your best practitioners. It’s the best way to see what’s worth your investment and where you can stop wasting time and money.
- Track your 'Time to Hire': Identify where candidates are getting stuck in your pipeline. By tracking how long it takes to go from application to offer, you can sharpen your process and snap up top talent before your competitors do.
- Optimise your timing: Understand exactly when your audience is looking for work. By seeing the specific days and times applications flood in, you can time your posts for maximum impact, reaching candidates when they are most engaged.
Keep the best talent on your roster with eyrecruit talent pools
Build a “safety net” for your setting by maintaining a warm pipeline of pre-vetted educators.
Instead of starting from scratch every time a gap appears, you can instantly reach out to “silver medalist” candidates and local talent who have already shown interest in your nursery. By nurturing these talent pools, you turn the high-stress scramble of a vacancy into a proactive hiring process that keeps your ratios secure and your team stable.
