How Can a Staffing Partner Find Hidden Agriculture Industry Talent?

Does it ever feel like good agriculture industry talent is hard to find? You’re not alone. Lots of people in the ag business struggle to find great people. So, just where is the talent hiding? The answer: They are right under your nose. You just have to know who to partner with to find them.

Top Agriculture Industry Talent is Actually Waiting for You

What if we told you there is a deep pool of talent that has the hard and soft skills you’re looking for, but they are waiting to hear from you? It’s true. You just can’t “find” them because they are currently employed, and they aren’t spending their free time responding to your job postings.

If you’re conducting traditional, retroactive searches only when a position opens, you can’t connect with these passive candidates. If you want to find real talent, you have to engage with passive talent and take the time to build real relationships with them. This involves outreach, networking and nurturing. Connecting with passive candidates also requires the know-how and savvy to understand how to strike when the iron is hot, so they will be receptive to your offer.

Solving the Passive Candidate Puzzle

If recruiting passive talent seems like a lot of work, you’re right. Not only does it require a serious investment of time and resources, it is also a marathon, rather than a sprint. It can take months, if not years to see a return on your efforts. Meanwhile, you’ve got critical open positions to fill.

A strategic partnership with a professional agriculture industry recruiter allows you to instantly tap into a vast network of passive talent. These recruiters spend their entire careers networking with talent and staying on top of trends in agriculture recruiting. They have strong relationships with their talent, so they can build strong matches that will be beneficial to both employer and employee.

Not All Ag Industry Recruiters Are Equal

There are a lot of staffing firms that say they can help, but not all recruiters are the same. If you want to truly connect with top industry talent, you must partner with a team that has a proven track record of success in the agriculture industry.
