Employment challenges in agriculture

Many agricultural sectors are booming, commodity prices are high, investment and productivity are at all time highs and many areas have received optimum rainfall during the growing season.

However, it has never been harder to get the right staff to help you grow your business.

This is an issue that is affecting our clients all over Australia, in ALL agricultural and farming sectors.

Staff retention is the key

We will only work with employers who are willing and able to offer a 'point-of-difference' positions to attract the highest level of candidates. This may inculude premium wages, bonuses and performance incentives, and other inclusions.

We have proven time and time again that this method of staff retention is a major driver of productivity for agricultural businesses. How will you stand out from the crowd?

We wanted to thank you personally for the incredible job you did recruiting for our positions. It has taken a huge amount of pressure off the General Manager in particular.

The meticulous process of assessing both management and the candidates indicates your genuine commitment to find not only the best applicant to fill the role, but you also have the applicants best interest at heart. That professionalism is hard to find these days!

We have been asked so many times how we were able to fill the roles with such wonderful people so know we give them Drover Ag’s details and recommend you and Drover Ag with the highest endorsement.

It has been a pleasure working with you and will definitely contact you if we have any other positions to fill.
