Horticulture workforce services

Delivering strong horticulture workforces

Agri Labour Australia 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.

Workforces that know the drill

At Agri Labour Australia, 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.

Seasonal flexibility

Working to your 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.

How we find and retain your staff

Access to experienced candidates

Our team provides experienced workforces made up of the skilled and unskilled candidates you need for a successful season.

A reputation that works for us

Since we were founded we’ve built a reputation for delighting both clients and candidates, and our good name gives us unprecedented access to talent.

Retention is a priority

Even before a project commences, we’re focused on how to retain high-performing staff. Each project generally has a core group of experienced harvesting and packing staff who have proved themselves on previous assignments.

Effective workforce optimisation

Agri Labour Australia works closely with clients in the design and implementation stage to ensure the success of your season or harvest. Using clear-cut data, we outline what productivity outcomes must be achieved daily and weekly in order for the project to be considered a success.

Workers who know what they're signing up for

Agri Labour Australia fully brief every candidate on the realities of the role before they start such as variable hours, weather-dependent conditions, and the pace of a working season. That means fewer surprises, and fewer people walking off the job.
