SPECIALISTS IN AGRICULTURAL RECRUITMENT
John’s understanding of ag recruitment is based on 20 years’ experience working on and manage of farming properties and cattle stations across four states and territories of Australia. The challenge of attracting and retaining the staff required to complete general farming tasks and make improvements was a constant source of frustration during John’s time in various management positions.
The extensive network of farmers and rural employers John has gathered allows him to connect the right worker to the right position. He also loves helping young people find their way into fulfilling agricultural careers.
