How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Richards Bay; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

Mention that you can work rotating shifts right at the top. It is the first thing most factories filter on.
Name the products you worked on before, like "biscuit line" or "juice bottling". Factory recruiters read that faster than a job title.
