Screened for your work
Harvesting, greenhouse tasks or vineyard work: tell us what the job involves. We screen for the experience and language you need, explain the conditions, and confirm candidate interest and availability.
Need seasonal workers for your farm in Austria?
When harvest dates are set, an unfilled shift becomes your problem. Sufoniq sources workers from abroad for farms, orchards, vineyards and greenhouses, screens them against your requirements, and coordinates the preparation for employment in Austria.
Need people soon? Short-notice requests are welcome. We’ll check candidate availability and the permissions needed against your dates.
A candidate’s availability is only part of a seasonal hire.
Know what is ready
You need to know which documents are ready, which checks are outstanding and who handles each application step. We coordinate the agreed preparation with you and the candidates.
Plan around your start date
An interested candidate still needs permission to work. We track availability and preparation against your dates, with outstanding approvals made clear before you plan the start.

About Sufoniq →Can we enquire at short notice?
Yes. Tell us the work, headcount and date you need people. We can begin sourcing at short notice and will confirm candidate availability against your requirement. The earliest lawful start also depends on employment permission, visa arrangements and the readiness of the employer and worker documents.
What work can we discuss?
Seasonal agricultural work such as fruit harvesting, vineyard tasks, greenhouse work and field work. Explain the tasks, equipment, working conditions and experience you need so screening reflects the actual job. Activities such as packing need to be checked against the employer’s business and applicable route.
Are these workers coming from abroad?
Yes. This service sources international candidates for Austrian agricultural employers. We discuss the source market and relevant experience against your requirement. Employment permission and the appropriate visa are part of the preparation before work starts.
What does the employer need to provide?
The work location, jobs, headcount, employment dates, pay and conditions, plus accommodation arrangements. The Austrian employer applies to AMS for the employment permit. We agree the recruitment and preparation work and who handles each action before delivery.
What does it cost?
We quote for the agreed sourcing, screening and coordination work. The proposal identifies service fees, responsibilities and how official or third-party costs are allocated. Sufoniq does not charge workers recruitment fees.
Does seasonal work require a visa?
The route can require both AMS employment permission and a visa. Austria’s guidance distinguishes visa C for short seasonal stays from visa D where employment or the stay exceeds 90 days. The worker applies personally through the competent Austrian representation. We establish the applicable steps for the specific assignment.

Seasonal permissions, responsibilities and official sources
For the ordinary seasonal quota route, the employer applies to AMS. Quota availability, the labour-market check, employment conditions and accommodation matter. The worker then follows the applicable visa process. Authorities decide applications; recruitment availability does not establish a lawful start date.
