We take the time to understand your business opportunities
Since 1996, Grasslands Recruitment Specialists has solely focused on sourcing, vetting, and presenting qualified, niche-fit agribusiness/agri-food candidates for interviews. We do not simply fill job openings; we work to ensure that the person chosen is qualified and quantifiable for success in the given workplace, or they are not presented.
We don’t just send a resume and cross our fingers; we figure out what you want and need, do what it takes to get those people, and then help you close the deal! To alleviate concerns about employee retention, we ensure a skillset, community, and corporate fit. We are not machines. We are people who help other people.
Please tell us about the people you require. We approach only those candidates who have a track record of success in your industry. We then assist you in hiring the right person the first time.
Our clients have recognized the importance of incorporating our search services into their hiring process. Each search will be tailored to your specific requirements and circumstances.
Our executive search process gives you the chance to hire a top-tier candidate. Each step of our process provides critical information needed to make an informed hiring decision.
We primarily represent mid-to-executive level positions in the Canadian agricultural marketplace, including relationships with other agri-business recruiters with whom we collaborate to fill our clients’ positions. While working directly with us, you benefit from a global network of recruiters! Our business scope/reach is limited to the North American agribusiness/agri-food industry. We understand and are passionate about agriculture, and our employees generally work and live in smaller rural communities across Canada.
We have been Connecting Canadian Agriculture since 1996, and our goal is to become your long-term recruitment partner, not just a vendor. Contact us today to discuss your requirements and the options available to you.
