What has changed in Agriculture?
• The consolidation in Ag Business and farm level
economics from 1986-2005 pushed many people out
of Ag—We probably won’t get them back
• Very limited supply in rural areas
• The graduation rate of Ag degrees for Ag jobs has
been decreasing at 3% per year
• 50% of the agriculture employee base will retire in
the next 10 years--Baby Boomers

Your Talent Pool
• Where are you going to find your replacements?
• Don’t use a Talent Surplus process (weeding out the
weak) in the midst of a Talent Scarcity.

• Yes or No?
– Is there a shortage of top talent for your critical positions?
– Are you still positioning traditional job descriptions that
emphasize skills and experience?
– Would you like to see more top performers for these
positions (pool is too small)?
The most trusted and reliable recruiting firm in the agriculture industry © 2013 Ag 1 Source
Do you source Active or Passive? -- Target
• (Active Seekers) a.k.a. “Job Changers”
– They will keep the job if the future aligns with their future aspirations
– From Career Builder 2013 Hiring Survey – “Nearly 35% of people

begin preparing for their next job within weeks of
starting a new one”

• (Passive Seekers) a.k.a. “Career Changers”
– The key is in the value of the Future - It aligns and they joined for
the right reasons

The most trusted and reliable recruiting firm in the agriculture industry © 2013 Ag 1 Source
The Job DescriptionGone -days of lines of people applying
• Millennial Candidates do not like –
– Minimum Job Requirements - Limit requirements to 7
• Turn job descriptions into Career Statements
– Explain your Company Value Proposition
– Display your excitement about your company’s future

•
•
•
•

Work and Life Balance
Show your technology
Be clear about the job’s objectives – quantitatively
Show their potential path

Solution: Employees Need Answers
Employees constantly evaluate their status as it relates
to their long term goals – their FUTURE
• How am I doing?
• Where are we going as a company?
• How are we getting there?
• How do you expect me to contribute?
• What is my career path?
• How will I get the skills necessary to keep on path?
If internal communication is strong-these are answered

4. Interview to Win – The EVP
• Remember – Top candidates don’t need your job
• Create a culture where interviews are treated as recruitment
opportunities
• Management team is fully engaged
• Job descriptions are Career Opportunities vs. a boring list of
what you “have” to do
• Focus on Impact, Opportunity, and Challenge
• Communicate, communicate, communicate
• Improve your recruiting and you will increase your retention

I wonder if this
company can provide
me the growth
opportunities
I seek?

I wonder if this
candidate will give me
the Return on
Investment I seek?

Anticipate Their Thoughts
• The Value of a new position must hold some level of
Improvement in standard of living AND an Advancement
of their Career

• See the position through the “candidate’s eyes” –
– there is safety (lower risk premium) in no change

• Limit the impact of the Cons where possible
• Help your candidate see the total Value
– You’ll pay more where the risk premium must be higher

• Show the Path

5. Hire by Performance vs. Skills
• Performance question – “Imagine 1-3 years from now and
you are happy with your new employee – What did your new
employee accomplish (quantifiably) during this time that
made you happy?” – becomes the Performance Profile
• It’s more about “Attitude” vs. “Altitude”- Behavioral
characteristics: initiative-drive-dedication-conformity
• A resume tells what a person has done in their career, but
performance based recruiting tells us how they did their
“what”
• The Proof is in the numbers
The most trusted and reliable recruiting firm in the agriculture industry © 2013 Ag 1 Source
6. Streamlining your Process
Recruiting Process

Interview Process

1. Know who you are looking for
2. Focus on performance
3. Agree on “must haves” vs
“nice to haves”
4. Resume describes the “what”
and where, so focus on the
“how”
5. Define the expectations
(Performance Profile) of the
role (1 month, 3 months, 1
year, 5 years) – what is
considered success?

1. Define your process before
you start the search
2. Who will be involved
3. Defined timeline
4. Set candidate expectations
5. Ready to go office setup
(spatial visualization)
6. Know and demonstrate your
company’s EVP (noncompensation factors)
• 47% of all offers lost to
competitors

7. Find Flexibility
Consider less Education or less Experience required and:
• Add a Trainer or Mentor
• Partner with Educational institutions
Reconsider your Relocation program
• Risk vs. rewards
55+ age group
• The only demographic group that is growing
• Very important part of succession planning
• Possible seasonal employment group
The most trusted and reliable recruiting firm in the agriculture industry © 2013 Ag 1 Source
8. Becoming a Destination Employer
The Whole Is Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts

Onboarding + Recruiting = Hiring
Communication + Recruiting = Engagement
Onboarding + Communication = Retention
The most trusted and reliable recruiting firm in the agriculture industry

© Ag 1 Source
Destination Employer
Retailer examples
Example of an existing business • Reduced Turnover – Low turnover is much more attractive to candidates-9%
• Brand Building - Utilize colleges, trade schools, and the community to find wellqualified candidates & build brand reputation
• Internships – Challenging internships with the hope of bringing them on as FT
employees
• Recruiting Services – Make sure the recruiters they use focus on screening
candidates against both position description and company culture
• Company Culture – create culture where everyone is bringing in talent to fuel
the organization
• Of most importance – Led by a leader who embraces constant internal
recruiting.
• Tuition Assistance Program – Targeting students 2 or more years prior to hiring

The most trusted and reliable recruiting firm in the agriculture industry © 2013 Ag 1 Source
Summary – the winners
1. Focus on your brand – it carries the image of your EVP and
your ability to attract talent
2. Treat hiring as a business practice
3. Create a rewards strategy that attracts and retains
4. Make onboarding a personal process
5. Communication is the key to retention
“People are your most important asset – Ultimately your customer
will figure out where the best people are working…”
