Source candidates with relevant practical experience and realistic expectations.

Review permit eligibility, salary, employer documents and candidate documents.

i2i supports fishing and aquaculture recruitment by checking role requirements, candidate suitability, employment permit pathway, visa readiness and onboarding needs before an international hire is moved forward.
