Hort provides jobs and income for Māori
Māori Development Minister, Nania Mahuta says horticulture is an important and emerging sector for Māori.
For those people looking work in the agricultural sector a newly established international job board might be just the thing.
There is a growing demand for temporary and contract workers within the agricultural sector but at the same time it is getting more difficult for employers to find skilled staff.
Netherlands based company HuizingHarvest has responded to this demand through the launch of their own job portal globalAGjobs.com.
The website, which includes listing for both permanent and seasonal employment, allows job seekers from all over the world to register their personal profile and apply directly for agricultural jobs, free of charge.
Employers can also register with the site, post vacancies and look-up resumes (without the candidates contact details) free. If an employer wishes to get in contact with the candidate then the candidate's contact details are available for a fee.
In the near future, the company is hoping to introduce features for direct contacting between employer and candidates via video.
