Job Description
Agronomy Sourcing Recruiter
Have people commented that you are excellent at building relationships?
Do you feel like you've never met a stranger and are well on your way to building a great network in the agronomy industry in the Eastern US?Maybe you've been told you have the gift of gab.
Cold calling is something that doesn't faze you.Are you ready for a career move to a 20+ year organization that requires little travel and gives you the ability to build a flexible schedule so that you are not missing kid/life events?
Do you take ownership in all you do, strive to be the best and are always up for a challenge, but can shake it off and rebound quickly when things don't go your way?Do you feel like your compensation is no longer in your control and bonuses/commissions are not fair or just non-existent?
The ability to own equity in a company is of interest to you.If any of these resonate with you, read more below, recruiting may be a career to consider!
Ag 1 Source is looking for an early career agronomy industry professional to join our team in a remote work position!
The right individual will have a knowledge of the agronomy industry, solid work ethic, and integrity as a foundational value. This role is supporting our existing Agronomy Team as a Sourcing Recruiter, so in this role, you are NOT responsible for managing clients, just working hard to find top talent for the opportunities we are working with clients to fill. This role will focus on roles based primarily in the Eastern US, so perhaps your network is in the Southern US, or maybe you are more experienced in the Eastern Corn Belt, but as long as you've had agronomy sales experience in the Eastern US, that is the base experience we need. We are seeking someone with 2+ years of sales experience and who has shown great potential and success in their role today, but is striving for more.
While this role will start as an Agronomy Sourcing Recruiter, the career path and potential is there to advance to a full recruiter seat managing and obtaining new clients, which provides a higher income potential.
Why Consider Recruiting?
- You have a strong network of connections in the areas outlined above that you’d like to cultivate to a higher level.
- It’s a remote job, work from home but talk ag all day!
- If you’re interested in less travel, more time with your family, we can offer that.
- You are in control of your success, more effort = more income potential.
- You enjoy networking and talking to different people all day and get to know them at a deeper level.
- You’ve been a successful salesman and looking for a new challenge.
- Equity in a company you work for is interesting to you.
But, this job is NOT for everyone:
- We need folks with a HIGH level of Integrity.
- We need you to be comfortable in your home office every day, talking on the phone, with minimal face-to-face time with those we interact with.
- We need people who are exceptional at building relationships and can tell the story of our clients, their business, products or services.
- We need people who can work as a team and know their work not only impacts them but the team as a whole.
- We need people who can be resilient and fight when things go wrong to make it better, not get fed up and run.
- We need people who are ok with having standards, goals and desire accountability to meet those goals.
What you will be doing:
- Build relationships across your market area with candidates, becoming a market master and knowing everyone in your geography that could ever be a fit for one of our clients.
- Identify, recruit, and evaluate potential candidates for position openings
- Negotiate terms of employment and assist to resolve any post-employment issues
- Communicate through verbal, written, or other forms of communication
- Share and discuss relevant market information with employees across your market area
- Be a trusted strategic advisor
- Other company responsibilities
A successful candidate for this role will possess the following:
- Early career sales experience in the agronomy industry so you at least have a network to start with.
- Strong communication skills including being a great questioner but also an exceptional listener.
- Driven to accomplish your goals regardless of the situation
- Core values of integrity and family first
- Entrepreneurial background or want to build something and control your potential earnings
- Strong time management skills
- Good ability to read people
Compensation: Strong compensation plan with unlimited income potential and the ability to become an owner
Benefits: Yes, good package of benefits
Desired Location: Remote position, can be anywhere!
