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.
"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.
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.
