Searching for tractor, farming and veterinary workers: what is important for an employer to know?
A tractor driver needs to be able to operate specific agricultural machinery; an agronomist solves the tasks of crop maintenance and planning; the farm worker works according to the animal care and hygiene regime. Separate qualification requirements apply to the professional activity of a veterinarian.
What skills should be tested during the selection process?
Ask the technical operator what he would check before field work, the candidate working on the farm - how he would follow the feeding and hygiene schedule, the agronomist - what data he would collect when deciding on the condition of the crops.
What to include in the employee search query?
The municipality of the farm, equipment models, seasonality of work, housing options, weekend work and specific certificates, if they are required for the position.
What should not be confused when choosing a candidate?
The selection of a seasonal worker is different from the selection of a long-term farm operator or veterinary specialist.
A common error in searching for employees
The ad only says "farm work" without mentioning the equipment, the physical load and the length of the season.
The principle of verification. Separate mandatory functions from learned functions, specify the salary range and workplace, and inform the candidate in advance about the selection stages. This principle is also recommended Employment service for employers.
How to prepare for the selection?
- Describe the 3-5 most important functions, city, and schedule of your first day on the job.
- Separately note required certifications, experience and what can be taught.
- Agree on the format of candidate screening: an interview, work samples or a short practical task.
- Define the pay range, start of work and response deadlines for candidates.
