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

Tips to get shortlisted

List the machines you can drive and the implements you have used. Farmers want to know if you can plant, spray or harvest on day one.
A reference from a previous farmer is gold. Ask for it before you leave any farm job.
