Arku for Horticulture
Hiring seasonal crews for orchards, vineyards and packhouses
Take on pickers, packers and pruners who apply from their phone, see who has worked for you before, and fill the season without a spreadsheet.
Sound familiar?
Every season starts the same way: a few weeks to hire dozens of people, most of them applying from a phone and some from the other side of the world.
-
The whole season lands at once
Hundreds of applications arrive in a few weeks, on top of running the orchard.
-
Applicants are on the move
Working holiday travellers and seasonal workers apply from their phones, often without a CV, and move on quickly if nobody replies.
-
Good workers come back, but the records don't
Last season's best pickers are somewhere in an old inbox or spreadsheet.
How Arku helps
-
Apply from a phone, CV optional
The apply form works on a phone, and you choose whether a CV is required, optional or not asked for at all.
-
Ask what matters before you call
Add yes or no, pick one and date questions about the right to work, availability and when people can start.
-
See who has worked here before
When someone applies again with the same email, their earlier applications and how they ended are right there.
-
A location for every site
Set up each orchard, vineyard or packhouse as a location and assign jobs to it.
-
Close the season kindly
On Starter and Pro, reject in bulk with a respectful email template, so everyone hears back.
-
Supervisors score without an account
Send a scoring link for one applicant. It works for 14 days and needs no login.
