For employers

Hire for potential, not a name on a CV.

Tern gives you rich, honest candidate profiles from people who've already chosen to apply — verified, structured, and never a cold search.

How it works

From sign-up to shortlist.

1
Verify your business, once
Submit your registration details and a proof of business. A person reviews every application — not an algorithm — so you're talking to us, not a queue.
2
Post a role in under two minutes
Choose a type — part-time, apprenticeship, internship, temporary or seasonal — and the form adapts to it. Transparent pay is required, not optional: it's one of the clearest trust signals a listing can give.
3
Review real applicants on a simple board
New, Reviewed, Shortlisted, Interview, Hired. Every card is a full Potential Snapshot — skills, portfolio, video intro, downloadable CV — from someone who chose to apply to you.
4
Message through structured templates
Invite to interview, request more information, send a status update. No open chat, no risk of a stray message going somewhere it shouldn't — professional by default.

Job types

Not a general job board. Tern is scoped to the roles where potential should count for more than a CV can show.

Part-time

Apprenticeship

Internship

Temporary

Seasonal

Questions

What does it cost?: Free, for now. We're pre-launch and focused on getting the product and the trust model right in Jersey before we think about pricing.
Can I search or browse candidates directly?: No — by design. You only ever see people who've applied to your own vacancies. It's the clearest way we can promise candidates, and their parents, that Tern isn't a place to be found by strangers.
How long does verification take?: We're reviewing every business by hand while we're small, which in practice means quickly — usually within a couple of days.
