Pilates recruitment

Pilates recruitment, built for studios.

Hire a Pilates instructor for a permanent role. Post the schedule and rate, set a minimum qualification and hire in the app. Instructors browse and apply free.

The problem

Hiring a Pilates instructor is slow.

A permanent Pilates hire usually starts with a job ad and ends weeks later with a pile of messages. Many applicants have the wrong qualification for Reformer work, some have first aid that has lapsed, and you are checking certificates from screenshots. Meanwhile your timetable is held together with cover shifts.

FitMatchr puts permanent hiring and cover in the same place. Instructors build a profile once, with their specialities and documents, so when you post a role, the people applying are already set up to be hired.

For studios

How Pilates recruitment works for studios.

01

Post the role

Add the schedule, a rate range and the experience you want. Award-rate guidance is shown as you post.

02

Set a minimum qualification

Optionally require a minimum qualification, so applicants meet your standard from the start.

03

Read applications and notes

Instructors browse your role and apply with a note. You see who they are and why they want the job.

04

Hire in the app

Choose your instructor and complete the hire in the app. Documents are handed over in the app when you book.

Need someone for tomorrow rather than for good? See Pilates cover, where the same instructors can pick up last-minute shifts.

What it costs

Flat fee, with a safety net.

On the Cover plan, a permanent hire is a one-off A$250. There is no percentage of salary and no ongoing charge for that hire. The fee is non-refundable; if the instructor doesn't start or leaves within 4 weeks, we re-list and re-attempt the placement at no extra fee. On the Pro plan, permanent hires are included in the monthly price.

Compare that with the other routes to a Pilates hire. Job boards charge for the listing and leave the screening to you. Agencies set their own fee structures, so ask for theirs in writing and compare. With FitMatchr the cost is known before you post.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

How does hiring a Pilates instructor on FitMatchr work?

You post the role with the schedule, a rate range, the experience you want and, if you like, a minimum qualification. Instructors browse and apply with a note. You review applicants, choose who to hire and complete the hire in the app.

What does it cost to hire a Pilates instructor?

On the Cover plan (A$79/month per location), a permanent hire is a one-off A$250, which is non-refundable. On the Pro plan (A$149/month per location), permanent hires are included. Your first 3 months of covers are free, with a card required but not charged during the trial. Prices exclude GST.

What if the hire doesn't work out?

If the instructor you hire through FitMatchr doesn't start, or leaves within 4 weeks, we re-list the role and re-attempt the placement at no extra fee. It's a replacement, not a refund — the A$250 hire fee is non-refundable — and while we'll do our best, we can't guarantee a suitable candidate is always available.

Can I require a minimum qualification?

Yes. When you post a role you can add an optional minimum qualification. Instructors list their qualifications and upload them with their first aid and CPR, with expiry dates tracked automatically, so you can see who is Ready to hire.

How is this different from job boards and recruitment agencies?

A typical job board lists your ad and leaves the screening to you. FitMatchr is built for fitness, so applicants are instructors who have listed their specialities and uploaded their documents, and you can apply a minimum qualification up front. Agencies set their own fee structures; FitMatchr is a flat A$250 per hire on Cover, or included on Pro.

Do instructors pay to apply for Pilates instructor jobs?

No. FitMatchr is free for instructors, always. Browsing roles, applying with a note and being hired cost nothing.

Can I see what to offer for a Pilates instructor role?

Award-rate guidance based on the Fitness Industry Award is shown when you post a role. It is guidance only, not advice, so check your own obligations. You set the rate range for the role.
