Are you an agribusiness professional with a deep knowledge of the industry?
We’re always looking to expand our own team of expert recruiters. Help build Australia’s agricultural workforce of tomorrow.
I wanted to formally express my gratitude for your unwavering professionalism and efficiency throughout this process. My referees were equally impressed with your prompt, expeditious approach. I have dealt with several recruiters, and to be frank, most leave me disappointed at the overall experience. As someone who prides themselves on servicing people well and as individuals and humans, my experience has been simply outstanding.
We have enjoyed working with Agricultural Appointments. Finding qualified staff in remote areas in the present climate is challenging. But AA has been able to find suitable people. Peter and his team are very diligent and professional at all times.
Brett demonstrated himself to be highly responsive to our needs whilst ensuring the candidates had a positive experience throughout the process.
This assignment along with associated Agronomist roles in other areas, is quite complex and take longer to complete than some other roles. Howard and Elizabeth have clearly worked hard to source high quality candidates and present them quickly and efficiently via candidate reports.
Just a quick email to thank you for assisting me through the application process. I found you to be detailed and concise and extremely professional which certainly reflected upon your company as well as the employer, I am very excited about starting my new role and look forward to many years of service.
I am very pleased with the way everything worked and the outcome achieved.
A challenging assignment with a global search. Ray was very professional and communicative in all interactions. would highly recommend.
…always happy to speak to you regardless of the day or time. Professional and very patient. Keeps looking for quality candidates even for those hard to fill roles.
I just wanted to thank you for your professionalism and your competence. I’ve found the agricultural recruitment industry fairly underwhelming in the past and its a very welcome surprise to find someone who knows what they’re doing and goes about it in such a timely manner. Keep up the good work!
I really appreciated your professionalism and insights into candidates and their fit for SunRice. Your detailed summary of their candidature, your in-depth knowledge of their goals and aspirations, and also being mindful of our own brand when rejecting candidates was really appreciated. You’re a rare breed out there in recruitment land!
