No. Recruit is free for job seekers. Centers pay to post.
Yes. Once your profile is built, we'll notify you as new roles open up in your area. Worth setting up even if you aren't ready to apply today.
Permanent positions in early childhood: assistant teacher, lead teacher, floater, assistant director, director, and more, at centers of every size.
Yes, start with your resume. From there we'll collect what hiring admins in this field actually care about: the ages you've worked with, your credentials, your classroom experience, how long you've been doing this. A general resume doesn't capture any of that, and it's usually the difference between getting a call and getting passed over.
General job boards don't know what a CDA is, or what a VPK endorsement means, or why infant experience is different from preschool. Recruit is built for this field, so your qualifications read as qualifications. We also put your profile in front of the centers actually looking for someone like you, so you connect faster instead of waiting in a pile.
The center reviews it and makes the hiring decision. We're not a gatekeeper. We do help you through the process and make sure you're representing yourself well, so what the center sees is your best case.
Centers reach out directly by text and email once you've applied, so keep an eye on both. Responses can come faster than you'd expect.
No. Apply with what you have. Centers set their own requirements and decide who fits. If you're hired, they'll walk you through anything the state needs from you, with Tandem's help.
Yes. Apply to as many roles as you're genuinely interested in and available for.
Yes. Same account, same profile. Keep in mind that centers posting here are hiring for the long term, so only apply to roles you're ready to commit to.
No. If a center hires you, you're their employee. Tandem is how you found each other.
