built for child care

Hiring tools designed for early education.

Generic hiring platforms don't understand the difference between a CDA and a bachelor's in early childhood education. They can't screen for infant-toddler experience or flag when a candidate's credentials don't meet your state's requirements. Tandem Recruit was designed from the ground up for the way child care centers actually hire.

Industry Intelligence

Every field, filter, and workflow was designed around the realities of ECE hiring β€” from state credential requirements to classroom age-group matching.

Volume Meets Quality

Automated workflows handle the volume. Credential matching and compliance screening ensure the quality. Built around both goals simultaneously.

Your Candidates, Your Pipeline

Tie your hiring streams together with Tandem Recruit. Own your process, build your pipeline, and make the hire.
