Who would have thought that mushroom growing in Ireland would become a passport to international work and travel?
Recently a recruitment agency from New Zealand has put out some feelers about recruitment from Ireland and Europe to the local mushroom industry down under. As the recruitment consultant puts it:
"Currently I am working on behalf of a leading mushroom growing organisation who wishes to recruit experienced mushroom growing/ production staff to New Zealand.
For these roles our client is looking at all options; for example if the right people were available they would look at contract role or alternatively if they wished to immigrate to New Zealand assistance would be given in visa application and relocation; perhaps a company may wish to do an exchange programme with a company where they exchange a staff member for a period of time, both parties can develop further skills and enhance their knowledge.
As you can see there are some very real options for working out here, plus the added fact that New Zealand is a great place to live or visit and more and more people are opting to move."
