From new challenge to permanent place: my growth in flower processing

Written by Yosef Shahkaman | Oct 27, 2025 2:56:03 PM

The world of flower processing is a place full of color, rhythm and craftsmanship. While most people are still sleeping, fresh flowers are sorted, bunched and prepared for shipment in large halls. Every rose, tulip or gerbera eventually goes to someone who will be delighted by it, and that makes this work special. For many candidates who start through employment agencies, flower processing is not just another job, but an opportunity to work in an environment that lives, grows and connects.

 

The first encounter

"I never thought I would work in flowers," says one candidate who recently started at a major flower exporter. "I was looking for something new, something I could get satisfaction from. During the first interview with Meta Carrière, they asked not only about my work experience, but also what I find important in a job, whether I like pace, prefer to work with my hands or rather with machines. That personal conversation immediately gave me confidence."

 

 

Professional job placement through Meta Carrière is about more than just finding work. It looks at the person behind the resume. The recruiters listen, think along and match candidates with a work environment in which they can grow. For those looking for stability and variety, flower processing offers surprising opportunities.

 

What a workday looks like

A typical workday in flower processing starts early. As soon as the trucks arrive with fresh flowers, the carts are unpacked and the sorting process begins. Flowers are separated and bunched by type, length and quality. The pace is fast, but the team spirit makes everything lighter.

 

"The first few days were intense," says the candidate. "You have to learn to work quickly, be precise and work well together. But already after a week I was completely in the rhythm. What I like most is that you see immediate results, at the end of the day there is a beautiful product ready to go to customers all over the world."

 

 

The work requires concentration, but also an eye for detail. The colors, the smell, working with colleagues from different countries, it creates an energetic atmosphere that few other sectors know.

 

What about guidance and security?

From the moment she started in flower processing, the candidate noticed that everything was well taken care of by Meta Carrière. Wages were paid on time, working hours were clear, and someone was always available to answer questions. That provided peace of mind and confidence during the first few weeks.

 

Because she had no previous experience in the industry, everything was new at first. Yet she quickly felt at home thanks to the help of colleagues and guidance on practical matters such as transportation and scheduling. The support allowed her to focus fully on the work and grow in the profession step by step.

 

That good guidance and clear structure gave her the confidence to continue building her future in flower processing with pleasure and dedication.
