Case Study: Sparkways finds quality candidates and faster hires with Employment Hero SmartMatch

Sparkways leverages SmartMatch to find their dream candidates

Sparkways, a Melbourne-based not-for-profit early education provider with 650+ employees, needed a better way to fill open roles with high-quality candidates. Using Employment Hero’s HR Platinum + Payroll Premium, the team found traditional job boards were delivering poor-fit applicants, making recruitment time-consuming and difficult for educator and support roles.

Employment Hero’s SmartMatch helped Sparkways access a more relevant talent pool, screen resumes automatically, and see which candidates were actively interested in roles. The result was a faster, more efficient hiring process, including one Diploma Educator hire completed in about a week, and stronger candidate quality overall. SmartMatch also helped Ash-lee Kingsberry find her own role at Sparkways, showing the vendor’s value for both hiring and job seeking.
