How much does agricultural recruitment cost?
Talent Agri's permanent recruitment fee is charged as a percentage of the successful candidate's first-year salary, payable only on hire. Retained search involves an upfront engagement fee plus a success fee. Targeted job advertising is priced per campaign. Contact Talent Agri for a tailored quote based on role, seniority, and sector.
What is the typical recruitment process timeline?
Permanent placements typically complete within 4 to 8 weeks. Retained searches for senior or specialist roles take 8 to 12 weeks. Timeline depends on role seniority, candidate availability, and client interview scheduling.
What guarantee does Talent Agri offer on placements?
Talent Agri provides a rebate or replacement guarantee on all permanent placements. If a placed candidate leaves or is dismissed within the guarantee period, Talent Agri will conduct a replacement search at no additional fee.
Is retained search suitable for smaller farms?
Retained search is designed for organisations filling business-critical or senior roles where a thorough, confidential search is required. It is used by farms of all sizes when the role is senior enough that a general hire process would be too slow or insufficiently targeted.
What agricultural sectors does Talent Agri recruit for?
Talent Agri recruits across seven sectors: Dairy & Livestock, Food & Farming, Fruit & Horticulture, Animal Feed & Nutrition, Transport & Logistics, Pig & Poultry, and Machinery & Engineering.
