Every season starts with the same question:
How will we find enough people in time?
For many farms, the challenge isn’t choosing between candidates, it’s finding people who are willing and able to come. As the season approaches, the pace is high and many things need to fall into place. If staffing is delayed, the entire chain is affected, from planning to production.
At TM Connect, we make sure enough people are in place before the season starts. Once the team is up and running, we support both the farm and the workers so that collaboration works well, communication flows, and the daily routines feel good. This is how you create seasons that last, not just seasons that start.
1. We get to know the farm for real
Every farm has its own rhythm. It’s not just about how many people are needed, but about how the work functions in daily life, how the days are structured, how collaboration looks, and which routines make everything run smoothly. A strawberry farm in Småland has completely different conditions than a fruit orchard in Skåne. That’s why we always start by listening. We want to understand what works well, what has been challenging in the past, and what you are hoping for in the coming season. When we get a real sense of how things are on the farm, we can help find people who enjoy the work and contribute to a positive atmosphere. This is the foundation of a team that lasts the whole season and wants to come back next year.
2. We get to know the people behind the applications
When we understand how the work on the farm functions, we take the next step. We get to know the people who want to come and work. We talk to each person about their motivation, experience, and what type of work they enjoy. Some have extensive experience in agriculture, while others are looking for their first season in Sweden. For us, background matters less. What matters is the willingness to do a good job and to be part of the team. We explain clearly how the work is done, what pace to expect, and what daily life looks like. This way, everyone knows what to expect before they arrive. It makes the start easier, reduces misunderstandings, and increases the chances of a season where everyone feels good and develops.
3. We take care of the practical details
For many farms, the practical tasks take a lot of time:
• Contracts and employment terms
• Insurance and certificates
• When needed, visa applications
We handle the documents according to Swedish rules and requirements, so the season can start without unnecessary obstacles. It saves time, reduces stress, and helps both the farm and the workers feel secure.
4. We stay with you throughout the entire season
When the work begins, questions and misunderstandings can appear, especially in the early days. We don’t leave when the recruitment is done. We stay as support for both the farm and the workers. It can be about solving a practical issue, clarifying a misunderstanding, or simply being there when someone needs help. For us, it is a natural part of the job to make sure the cooperation works from the first day to the last picking shift.
5. When everything falls into place
When people and work come together in the right way, everyday life becomes easier. The work flows, communication works, and the atmosphere on the farm improves. You notice it not only in the production, but in the entire feeling of the farm. We see it every year. The difference between a stressful season and a truly good summer is rarely about the weather. It is about the people who do the work. Most of the farms we support choose to continue the collaboration the next season, often with the same core team who are happy to return.
