How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Ballito; 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.

Before you hit apply

Name the products you worked on before, like "biscuit line" or "juice bottling". Factory recruiters read that faster than a job title.
Do not wear jewellery or long nails to the interview if it is on site. Food factories notice and it counts.
