Horticulture Workforces

Southern Yard Hand routinely delivers strong agriculture workforces for horticulture operators throughout Australia.

  • We employ rigorous horticulture recruitment tools and processes that identify candidate levels of motivation and ability.
  • Our national footprint allows us to move high-performing workforces around the country on various picking and packing assignments.
  • We work with horticulture clients to develop results-based training programs, as well as metrics and targets to improve productivity every season.

Know the Dril

We ensure candidates understand exactly what’s expected of them before they reach your site. They know your season start-date is subject to change, and that they’ll need to work variable hours in weather-dependent conditions.

We believe prepping candidates is crucial to successful placements. That way, when they arrive they’re job-ready and prepared for the demands of horticulture operations.

Seasons and Timelines

The harvest calendar does not affect on our recruitment ability for casual or permanent roles. We source staff and provide optimisation services for horticulture workforces for every month of the year.

We have networks throughout Australia and overseas, which enables us to find workers for roles that sync up on the seasonal calendar. Horticulture staff who are booked up with work for a full 12 months – moving with the seasons – tend to be more committed to completing their placement.

 

we work with you to understand your requirements before securing the right people, exactly when you need them. Our expert team moves with precision and efficiency, drawing on global networks and a trusted reputation to deliver outstanding results.
