Z Staffing

Jessica Buddle brings over a decade of experience in recruitment and talent acquisition, alongside five years of dedicated involvement in the Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) sector. With formal qualifications in psychology, she combines a deep understanding of people with a strong commitment to building safer, more sustainable workforce practices within the sector.

As Co-Founder and General Manager of Z Staffing, Jessica was employee number one and has spent the past four years shaping the business into a trusted, innovative leader in on-hire educator solutions. From the outset, Z Staffing’s mission has been to revolutionise how the ECEC sector engages with agencies- driven not only by cutting-edge technology, but by genuine partnership, transparency, and an unwavering focus on child safety.

As both a mother with a child in care and a leader working alongside educators and centres every day, Jessica is deeply motivated to ensure Z Staffing is seen not merely as an agency, but as a trusted extension of each service—helping create environments where children, educators, and centres can thrive.
