Recruitment
We’re proud to be working alongside with the National Trade Academy to connect the dairy sector with highly trained, visa-qualified workers from around the globe.

Together, we’re building a stronger, more sustainable future for farming.

From onboarding and health and safety systems to performance management, reviews, and mediation, we design practical frameworks that keep your team engaged, compliant, and productive. We also support remuneration structuring and upskilling to attract, retain, and grow talent for long-term success.
Immigration Support
Our partnership with Alpine Immigration and Recruitment provides clients with expert guidance through New Zealand’s immigration processes, from visa applications to residency pathways. We also assist in finding suitable employment opportunities, ensuring immigration and career goals align. With personalized support throughout the journey, clients benefit from streamlined, efficient, and informed migration and recruitment services.
What Our Clients Say
Trusted by rural businesses across Southland and Otago.
George assisted us with finding temporary dairy work while on our working holiday visa. We didn't have experience in the dairy industry and he placed us with a farm that was dedicated to teaching us all we needed to know to be successful. We are enjoying our work experience and are very grateful for how quickly and easily George was able to find the right fit for us. We would recommend using Cultivate Partners to find work for people traveling from overseas as you can be assured it will be a good fit- Thank you George!
