We work hard to prepare our workers for the realities of rural and outback work. As a result over 95% of our placements are successful first time. This is far higher than anywhere else in the short-medium term employment market.
We brief and train our workers, and we give them some experiences that make them familiar with the environment, the equipment, the safety considerations and the way we work.
We dont expect to make them an expert, but we do expect to be able to assess their skills, previous experience, work ethic and attitude, and to prepare them to learn quickly to be effective for you.
Based on this we can match them to suitable work with suitable employers.
Some come to Australia with good and relevant skills, others are enthusiastic novices.
They all come to Australia with a keen willing attitude, but they will need your help to be effective for you.
