SKILLED ANIMAL FARM WORKERS

Bixter has been providing candidates to the animal farm sector for over 15 years, and our experience allows us to acquire an in-depth understanding of employer’s needs for hiring workers. We prioritize matching most suitable candidates with employer’s recruitment criteria. This means pre-screening the candidates, and selecting only the best suited matches.

By assigning the CoS to a skilled worker, the sponsor might have to pay an additional immigration skills charge to the UKVI.
