The right people for agricultural success

Agricultural roles are difficult to hire for from a CV alone. Field capability, crop-specific experience and local knowledge do not show up reliably on paper, and a poor technical hire costs a season.

We recruit for agricultural roles and vet candidates technically, using our own agronomists to assess whether the experience claimed matches the experience held.

Who it’s for

  • Operations expanding faster than their supervisory capacity
  • Businesses needing a specialist for a defined period rather than permanently
  • Organisations reviewing whether their structure fits their operation
How it runs

From first visit to measurable result

Farm visit

We visit the operation, gather the records and samples the assessment requires, and confirm the objective.

Assessment

Findings are analysed against the relevant standard, the enterprise requirement and the market being served.

Costed plan

You receive a written plan with responsibilities, timing, cost and the result each action should deliver.

Implementation

Our consultant stays with the work, training your team and adjusting as conditions change.

Questions

About this service

How are candidates vetted technically?

Our agronomists interview on practical field scenarios relevant to the role and the crop, alongside standard reference and background checks.

Can you provide short-term specialists?

Yes. Short-term placements and expert deployments are available where a farm needs capability for a project or a season rather than a permanent hire.

How is recruitment priced?

Per role, depending on seniority and scope. Technical vetting is included rather than charged separately.
