For workers and employers
For production workers
Tell us the shifts you can work and the environments you know — assembly, machine operation, packing or food production. We match that to the lines we support so you start on the right footing.
- Assembly, machine, packing, QC and food-production roles
- Days, nights, continental and rotating shifts
- We record relevant machine and food-hygiene experience
- Temporary and permanent requirements
For manufacturers
From a single line operative to a full production shift, tell us the roles, the pace and the standards. We put forward operatives suited to the environment — and we are clear about what has and has not been confirmed.
- Line, assembly, machine, packing and QC operatives
- Cover for output peaks, absence and new lines
- Food-production and controlled-environment experience noted
- Shift-pattern and standards captured up front
What tends to matter in Manufacturing & Production
Common experience, tickets and requirements

- Machine experience where a role is machine-led
- Food hygiene awareness for food-production lines
- Right to work in the UK and ID
- Willingness to follow line and safety procedures
Not every role needs every item — this is a guide to what tends to matter, not a checklist you must complete to register.
We record experience — we do not certify it
A CV can say a lot, but a production line needs the right hands. We capture the machines and environments a worker has genuinely worked in and share that plainly. Where a role needs a formal competence check, that sits with the employer's own process.

Line-ready operatives
We capture shift preference and relevant experience so operatives arrive ready for the pace of a production environment.
Food production aware
For food sites we record hygiene experience and note any site-specific requirements you share with us.
Days and nights
Cover for continental shifts, nights and weekends, matched to worker availability.
Manufacturing & Production FAQ and advice
Frequently asked questions
Is previous factory experience essential?
Not always. Many production roles are trained on site. Where specific experience is required, we match it to the employer's brief.
Do you cover night and continental shifts?
Yes. We record shift availability at registration, so we only put forward people who are happy with the pattern. We cannot guarantee a specific shift is available.
What about food production hygiene rules?
We note relevant food hygiene experience during registration and pass on any site-specific requirements the employer provides. Formal checks remain the employer's responsibility.
Do you check machine competence?
We record the machines and environments a worker tells us they have worked with. We do not independently certify technical competence — that sits with the employer's own process.
