HOPS has a database of skilled European labour

HOPS Labour Solutions, recruitment subsidiary of the National Federation of Young Farmers, has expanded its services into the wider agri-business industry.

The service, which has previously been available for the horticulture sector, will now use the federation’ network of young farmers and large database of Eastern Europeans to benefit the wider industry.

It claims that its personal recruitment service combined with its extensive network base, rather than purely using online or press advertising, is a “first” for the market.

“We (HOPS) are the unique position of having direct contact with a large number of young people through the young farmers network as well as a large database of skilled Eastern Europeans which many farmers like,” said HOPS operations director, Glyn Smith.

“To our knowledge there is nobody else in the marketplace offering this level of service in recruitment,” he added.
