We're proud to share that QuickCare has been named a finalist for Excellence in Candidate Experience at the 2026 SEEK Annual Recruitment Awards (SARA).
The recognition celebrates the work we’ve done to make joining the childcare workforce simpler, faster and fairer for educators, without ever compromising on the compliance standards that keep children safe.
Why this recognition matters to us
In childcare, getting hiring wrong isn’t measured in lost revenue; it’s measured in the safety of children. QuickCare was built on one mission: raising the standard of care for kids. That mission begins with the educator.
Being shortlisted alongside Australia’s leading recruiters tells us that a candidate experience built around child safety can also be one of the best in the industry.
Compliance as a candidate experience feature
Our app-native recruitment and compliance platform is purpose-built for childcare. Five AI agents work around the clock to screen educators, capture work history, collect references, verify credentials against government registers and answer questions at any hour.
Educators upload their résumé and our Resume AI Agent captures their work history automatically, so they don’t type it out, chase referees or navigate government registers alone. A 45-second video introduction replaces the CV as the primary first impression, so centres meet the person, not just the paperwork. Educators with compliance gaps are never ghosted: they get a clear explanation of what’s missing and a direct path to resolve it. Once verified, educators can pick up casual shifts or be discovered by centres for permanent roles, with providers able to request them directly for interview.
In one educator’s own words:
Thank you
This shortlisting belongs to our educators, the childcare centres who trust us, and the QuickCare team who make it happen every day. Thank you to SEEK for the recognition and congratulations to our fellow finalists.
Winners will be announced at the SARA ceremony on 26 November 2026. Follow us for updates, and if you’re an educator looking for flexible or permanent work, download the QuickCare app to get started.
