Request workers

What this actually is

What temporary & seasonal recruitment means

A fixed-term placement for work that has a start and an end — a harvest, a build, a season. The contract runs for the window you need it for and closes with it, on exactly the same permit chain as a permanent hire.

What it covers

  • Crew sized to the season or the build, with a start and an end date agreed up front
  • Candidates screened and interviewed for the specific window of work
  • The platform application and the visa processed for a fixed-term stay
  • Housing and transport arranged for the crew on site
  • A single point of contact for the length of the contract

When to choose it

When this is the right one

  1. The work is genuinely seasonal and you know both dates.

  2. You need a crew rather than an individual hire.

  3. You want the option to keep the ones who work out.

  4. A run of absences — illness, leave, a crew that did not come back — has left the line short.

  5. A hiring freeze blocks permanent posts, but the work still has to be done.

How it works

Every stage, in order

What we do at each stage, in the order it happens, on every order we take.

  1. The window

    Start date, end date and head count agreed before anything is filed.

  2. Crew screened

    Candidates interviewed and trialled for that specific window of work.

  3. Application and visa

    Filed for a fixed-term stay and tracked by us.

  4. Housing and transport

    Arranged for the whole crew, not person by person.

  5. The crew arrives

    Together, so the season does not open a person short.

  6. End or convert

    The contract closes, or becomes a permanent one on the file that already exists.

Advantages

Why employers use us for this

  1. Sized to your window

    You get the right number of people for the dates you need, no more, no less.

  2. Ready to work together

    Crews screened and prepared to arrive and work together from day one.

  3. Destination-specific compliance

    Fixed-term employment, the right to work, visa and residence requirements are coordinated according to the destination country's rules.

The added value

  • The same permit chain as a permanent hire — a fixed term changes the contract, not the legality.
  • One point of contact for the length of the contract, not a new name each week.
  • A seasonal placement can turn into a permanent one; the file already exists.

Questions we get asked

How far ahead do we need to book a seasonal crew?

Plan for the same three to five months as a permanent hire — the single application and the visa go through the same authorities, on the same timeline, regardless of contract length.

What happens when the contract ends?

Workers rotate out through the return process agreed at signing. Nobody stays on site without valid papers.

Can a seasonal placement turn into a permanent one?

Yes, if both sides want that. We refile it as a permanent-recruitment placement rather than extending the seasonal stay, because a seasonal and a permanent worker are two different categories on the same application.

What exactly is a seasonal placement, and how long can the contract run?

A fixed-term contract for work with a start and an end — a harvest, a build, a season — on the same application, visa and residence chain as a permanent hire. The contract carries the dates you agreed; the maximum length of a seasonal stay is set by law, not by us, and we tell you what it allows for the window you describe before anything is filed.

Do we have to arrange housing and transport for a seasonal crew?

Not yourselves. A crew that lands together needs somewhere to sleep that night and a way to the field or the site in the morning, so we arrange accommodation near the workplace and the daily run for the whole crew before they land; what it costs and who carries it is written into the contract alongside the placement.

Who is the employer of a seasonal worker?

You are. A seasonal placement is a direct hire on a fixed-term contract: the worker is on your payroll and under your direction, and we are the recruiter and the file's contact. If you would rather not carry the employment relationship at all, that is staff leasing, where we stay the employer of record.

What actually has to happen

Six steps in a fixed order — the visa cannot be applied for before the state has approved the job. We carry all six, and publish a figure only where a published instrument fixes one.
