Founder and Managing Director of Drover Ag Recruitment, John Boote, was featured on The Profitable Farmer podcast in 2021.
While perhaps controversial, John’s comments in this episode are based on personal experience and care for both the clients and the job candidates who come to Drover Ag for solutions. At the time, many farm businesses all across Australia were struggling with a massive shift in the supply and demand in the farm employment market. The industry was faced with a huge increase in demand due to seasonal and other factors, combined with a lack of supply with many farming roles seen as low-paid, undesirable, dusty and dirty jobs.
“Take responsibility for it. If the business structure you have now is not getting you the results
that you’re wanting, then there’s something that needs to change in order to find
better people and keep them long -term.” said John.
Drover Ag was built on these foundations of promoting agricultural employment sector to a much wider audience, bringing the right candidates to the jobs their suited for, and upskilling not only job candidates, but employers on how to attract, train and retain their stuff for the success of their business.
They might not always like the advice they get from John, but it gets the results.
