What this tells you
They have done it before
Even a handful of permits means Ruben Pigs Limited has been through the application and knows the timeline. That is the hard part; the second hire is easier than the first.
How to approach them
Be the easy application
Employers that hire from abroad remember the candidates who arrived with documents in order: certificates, references, a clear licence position. Be that candidate and the permit is the employer's problem, not yours.
The record
6 employment permits in 2026 is a modest count for Ruben Pigs Limited, but it is a count: this employer has been through the application and knows what it involves.
This is not a new relationship with the permit system: Ruben Pigs Limited goes back to 2023 in the figures, 18 permits later, with its biggest year 2023 at 8. The trend over the last three full years is downward.
This year's permits came in 4 separate months, busiest in January with 2, which suggests a few distinct rounds of recruitment.
