Ligpos Labour Agency is inviting people looking for work in the agricultural sector to register their details for Farm Worker opportunities. Unlike a normal job advert with one fixed position and closing date, Ligpos keeps a database of candidates and uses it to find suitable workers when new vacancies become available. Available opportunities may include general farm labour, tractor operators, mechanics, farm managers and other agricultural jobs.
If you enjoy working outdoors, have experience on a farm or simply want to build a career in agriculture, registering your details could help you become visible when suitable opportunities are received from Ligpos clients.
Ligpos is a labour and personnel agency that works with different farms and agricultural businesses. The agency helps connect employers with people who are looking for work.
When you register as a farm worker, your information is added to the agency’s database for agricultural workers. When a farm or another agricultural business sends Ligpos a new job requirement, the agency can check its database and look for people whose skills and experience match the position.
This means registration does not automatically mean that you have been hired.
Instead, it gives Ligpos your details so that you can potentially be considered for suitable positions that become available.
Agriculture is a large industry with many different types of jobs. The type of work available can depend on what farms and agricultural businesses are looking for at the time.
Ligpos lists several examples of positions that may be available through its recruitment process.
These include:
This means the database is not limited to people looking for basic farm work. Skilled workers with experience operating agricultural machinery, repairing equipment or managing farm activities may also be considered for suitable opportunities.
General farm labour is one of the types of work mentioned by Ligpos.
Farm workers can be involved in different daily activities depending on the type of farm and the needs of the employer. Tasks can vary between crop farming, livestock farming and other agricultural operations.
People interested in general farm work should be prepared to follow instructions, work as part of a team and complete physical tasks when required.
Previous farming experience can be useful, but the exact requirements will depend on the individual vacancy received by Ligpos.
People with experience operating tractors and agricultural machinery may also find suitable opportunities through the Ligpos database.
Tractor operators can be needed for different farm activities, depending on the type of agricultural operation.
If you have experience operating farm machinery, make sure your registration information and CV clearly show your experience. This can help the recruitment agency understand the type of work you are able to perform.
Agricultural businesses also need workers who understand machinery and equipment.
Ligpos includes mechanics among the types of candidates it may recruit for agricultural positions.
If you have mechanical experience, particularly experience that is useful in a farming environment, registering your details can allow Ligpos to consider you when a suitable requirement comes from one of its clients.
The agency also mentions Farm Managers.
Farm management is different from general farm labour because it can involve overseeing workers, planning activities and helping manage the day-to-day running of a farming operation.
Candidates with relevant farm management experience should include their qualifications, previous responsibilities and agricultural experience when registering.
One of the main reasons to register is that you do not have to wait for one specific farm vacancy before making yourself known to the agency.
Ligpos explains that registered candidates are added to its farm-worker database. When new positions are received from clients, the agency can search its database for suitable candidates.
This can be useful for people who are actively looking for work in agriculture but may not know when the next farm vacancy will be advertised.
Registration allows the agency to have your details available when an opportunity matches your experience.
The process is relatively simple.
Start by registering your information with Ligpos through its website.
Make sure the information you provide is accurate and up to date.
Once you register, your information can be included in Ligpos’ database of farm workers.
The agency can then use the information when searching for candidates for agricultural positions.
Ligpos works with farms and agricultural businesses that may need workers.
When a client sends a new requirement, the agency can look through its database for candidates who may be suitable.
If your skills and experience match a position, Ligpos may contact you directly.
The agency may then provide further information about the opportunity and arrange the next steps, which could include an interview.
Registering does not guarantee employment. You will still need to meet the requirements of the specific position and go through the employer’s recruitment process.
There are important rules to follow when registering.
Ligpos states that all applications and documentation must be submitted online through its website.
Applicants should not send their applications through WhatsApp or email because these methods will not be accepted.
The official website provided in the vacancy information is:
Make sure you use the correct online application process when submitting your details.
If you are registering for agricultural work, it is a good idea to have a clear and updated CV available.
Your CV should show information such as:
If you have worked on different farms before, clearly mention the type of work you performed. This can help recruiters understand which agricultural positions may be suitable for you.
Registering as a farm worker does not stop you from applying for other positions advertised by Ligpos.
The agency states that candidates are welcome to apply for other positions that it advertises.
This means you should continue checking available opportunities if you are actively searching for work.
The salary information provided for these agricultural opportunities is listed as:
R66,000 to R600,000 per year
However, this is a very wide salary range because Ligpos may recruit for different agricultural positions with different responsibilities and skill requirements.
For example, the pay for a general farm worker may be different from the pay for a tractor operator, mechanic or farm manager.
Your actual salary would depend on the specific position, employer, experience, qualifications and other conditions attached to that vacancy.
Do not assume that every Farm Worker opportunity will pay the same amount.
The Ligpos farm-worker database may be worth considering if you are:
