Your hire earns a wage while they work towards a qualification. Knack brings you candidates at every stage: ready to start TAFE with your role, or partway through.

How it works

A new way to hire

Four steps from a pasted ad to a shortlist of people who want the job.

  1. Paste your ad, AI fills it in

    Paste an ad or notes, or add a link or a document: it becomes a full role in seconds. You check every field.

  2. They see the real job

    The good and hard parts, the deal breakers, a testimonial video, then the pay, before they apply.

  3. You meet the ones who fit

    Applicants ranked by fit. Open anyone's details and shortlist.

  4. Invite top matches who haven’t applied

    High-scoring matches who haven’t applied yet. Invite them to apply.
