About AgRec

AgRec is a growing agricultural recruitment business founded from a farming background in Kojonup, Western Australia.

We specialise in connecting good people with great agricultural businesses across Australia. From broadacre cropping and livestock operations through to pastoral stations, transport, trades and farm management, we understand the industry because we've worked in it ourselves.

As AgRec continues to expand nationally, we're looking for the right person to establish, lead and grow our presence in South Australia.

The opportunity

This is an opportunity to take ownership of AgRec's South Australian division, building relationships with farmers and agribusinesses, developing new business and managing recruitment from start to finish.

You'll be our main point of contact in South Australia, growing AgRec's presence in the region while also working on recruitment opportunities across the rest of Australia.

The position is home based and part time, offering the flexibility to manage your own schedule while being supported by AgRec's existing team, systems and resources.

We're not necessarily looking for an experienced recruiter. We're looking for someone who knows agriculture, understands its people and has the drive to build something. We'll teach you the recruitment side.

What you'll be doing

Leading South Australia

  • Leading and developing AgRec's recruitment operations across South Australia
  • Building strong relationships with farmers, station owners, agricultural businesses and industry professionals
  • Identifying new business opportunities and growing AgRec's client base throughout the state
  • Representing AgRec at field days, agricultural events and within local farming communities

Running recruitment

  • Working directly with clients to understand their operations, staffing requirements and the type of people they're looking for
  • Sourcing, interviewing and assessing candidates through your industry connections, AgRec's database and targeted advertising
  • Managing the recruitment process from initial enquiries and reference checks through to successful placements
  • Assisting with recruitment opportunities across Australia and working closely with the wider AgRec team

About you

We're particularly interested in hearing from people who already have a genuine connection to agriculture. You might come from a farming family, or have worked as an agronomist, rural merchandise representative, livestock agent, farm manager or in another agricultural role.

What matters most is that you understand the industry and enjoy working with its people.

Ideally, you'll bring

  • A strong agricultural background and a genuine understanding of farming businesses
  • Good connections within South Australian agricultural communities, or the enthusiasm and ability to develop them
  • Confidence building relationships and communicating with people from all walks of life
  • A proactive attitude and the motivation to develop new business opportunities
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage your workload independently
  • A practical understanding of what makes a good employee and what farming businesses look for when hiring
  • A current driver's licence and access to your own vehicle for occasional travel

Never done recruitment? That's fine

  • Previous recruitment experience is welcome but certainly not essential. If you know agriculture and you're good with people, we're happy to provide the training.

What's on offer

  • Competitive remuneration plus commissionBe rewarded for the successful placements you make
  • Lead our South Australian divisionTake ownership of the region and play a key role in AgRec's national expansion
  • Flexible, part time hoursWork from home with the freedom to organise your working week

Where you'll work

You'll work from home, wherever you are in South Australia, looking after AgRec's SA clients and candidates while also working on roles across the rest of Australia.

From home

Calls, briefs, candidate screening and keeping records up to date, on a schedule you organise.

Out and about

Occasional travel to visit clients, attend field days and agricultural events, and spend time in local farming communities.
