An ag biologicals startup is on a mission to restore soil life through innovative microbial technology, helping growers build healthier soils, increase yields, and reduce the need for traditional inputs. As the demand for sustainable ag solutions continues to grow, with limited internal resources and time to dedicate to recruiting, the company turned to AgHires for support, relying on our expertise to identify, engage, and attract the right candidates quickly and efficiently.  

Client Challenges 

With growing interest from farmers nationwide, the company faced the urgent need to fill a large number of vacancies in a short amount of time to support its expanding customer base and growing operational demands.
