Agri-Food hiring questions
Do meat-processing operatives qualify for a GEP?
Yes — meat-processing operative roles have appeared on the shortage / eligible list. We confirm route eligibility against current guidance before each case.
Can you handle bulk seasonal demand?
Bulk seasonal hiring fits the Scale or Enterprise monthly programme so capacity is reserved instead of competing with one-off recruitment cycles.
What about labour-market needs testing?
When LMNT is required we run the advertising window, record evidence and submit the test alongside the case — all tracked in the platform.
