All applicants are screened through a detailed application process to determine their skill, interest level and fit for agricultural work and rural living.

We interview all applicants personally, checking their references and background. Applicants are not accepted if a negative reference is produced and all references are made available to prospective employers if required.

We take great pride in only promoting applicants with the right degree of skill and experience for the position they are required to fill.

We wanted to thank you personally for the incredible job you did recruiting for our positions. It has taken a huge amount of pressure off the General Manager in particular.

The meticulous process of assessing both management and the candidates indicates your genuine commitment to find not only the best applicant to fill the role, but you also have the applicants best interest at heart. That professionalism is hard to find these days!

We have been asked so many times how we were able to fill the roles with such wonderful people so know we give them Drover Ag’s details and recommend you and Drover Ag with the highest endorsement.
