FAQs
Questions you may have.
How can I check that a packing worker can do the job?
The worker completes practical tasks in person while a human assessor observes and records what they did. You review the evidence, along with check status and any gaps, and you decide who to hire.
Are the test tasks fixed?
No. The tasks on this page are examples. The test is agreed for each role and employer, and it does not replace a licence or certificate the destination requires.
Do workers pay for this?
No. SODH does not charge workers for skills verification or access to opportunities.
Can SODH guarantee packing staff for my project?
No. Availability, corridors and timelines are confirmed directly with you, and visa or placement outcomes are never guaranteed.
