In this episode, we dig into the heart of the labour and recruitment challenges facing the farming sector. Speaking directly with farmers, harvest students and farming consultants, we uncover the real-world hurdles of finding and retaining seasonal workers, the evolving expectations of student job seekers, and the disconnects that often slow down the hiring process.
From contract complexities and accommodation to the desire for meaningful work and career development, this conversation explores both sides of the field. We also highlight ideas and practical solutions to make recruitment smoother, faster, and more successful for everyone involved.
