The challenge
Given the remote location and nature of Namoi Cotton’s work, local recruitment for cotton ginning roles can be limited. Namoi Cotton needed a consistent and reliable seasonal workforce that was ready for deployment across various ginning sites.
Our solution
Global People Solutions took the time to get to know Namoi Cotton’s team and operations, before establishing an annual pipeline of international ginning workers to meet their needs.
Roles we sourced
- Cotton ginners
Services we provided
- The development of a talent pool for cotton-specific roles
- Candidate sourcing and screening
- End-to-end visa application support, in partnership with migration lawyers
- Group-based arrivals to guarantee ongoing placements
- Mobilisation and seasonal planning
- Onboarding coordination and post-arrival check-ins
Results
As a result of our work with the team, Namoi Cotton has maintained consistent access to skilled cotton ginners each season – reducing training time and maintaining production targets, year after year.
Global People Solutions has played an important role in helping us maintain a consistent and capable seasonal workforce. Their experience in sourcing skilled cotton ginners, particularly from South Africa, has helped us meet production targets year after year. Their understanding of regional labour challenges and immigration pathways made the whole process much more efficient. We value the partnership.
