Staffing scaled to meet growth
Mi kids is a family-owned Northern Beaches childcare centre and pre-school at Warriewood, NSW. After opening mi kids, the team needed a scalable, modern staff solution that would grow with their needs.
Working alongside the Talent Now team, they’ve successfully filled 3,000 shifts and multiple permanent roles – saving significant staffing and recruitment costs.
“It’s a platform we rely on daily to maintain educator-to-child ratios. Talent Now has streamlined how we manage our roster and fill shifts — cutting down admin time and taking care of compliance. It has a real impact on our staffing quality and operational efficiency.”
Ben Cooper, Co-Owner, mi kids
Multiple locations, simplified
With multiple centres across metro and regional locations, Rise Early Learning needed a way to streamline casual staffing while maintaining consistency and visibility across their network.
Using Talent Now, the head office was able to set up and manage staffing for all branch centres, providing centralised visibility into casual staff usage, shift coverage, and performance. It also enables streamlined payroll management from a single point, reducing the administrative burden at the centre level.
“Talent Now has made a significant difference in how we manage staffing across our centres. The ability to monitor shift activity from head office has improved our operational efficiency and helped us with our centrally managed payroll. The platform is user-friendly, and the support team is fantastic — we’ve saved time and reduced risk thanks to Talent Now.”
Matt Acheson, Commercial Manager, Rise Early Learning
Staffing flexibility with big cost savings
Headland Montessori has delivered authentic Montessori education and family services since 2009, with centres in Sydney and Melbourne.
Partnering with Talent Now since 2019, they’ve taken control of casual staffing costs without losing flexibility or quality. By choosing Casual Connect, they combined all centres under one Head Office account and now use a simple 500-shift plan at a flat $31 per shift — achieving significant savings.
Educators are paid directly through Headland Montessori’s payroll, with Talent Now’s reports making admin easy. Each centre has a trusted pool of preferred educators for consistency, while the Head Office portal gives Yan and his team full oversight.
“Talent Now’s Casual Connect gives us exactly what we need — cost control, flexibility and total visibility across our centres. The savings are real, and our families benefit from familiar faces in our rooms every day.”
Yan, Owner, Headland Montessori
