Agronomy Industry Recruiter – South & Eastern US

Agronomy Industry Recruiter – South & Eastern US

Have people commented that you are excellent at building relationships?

Do you know you have a strong network of people across the agronomy industry in the South and Eastern US?

Maybe you’ve been told you have the gift of gab.

Cold calling is something that doesn’t faze you.

Are you ready for a career move to a 20+ year organization that requires little travel and gives you the ability to build a flexible schedule so that you are not missing kid/life events?

Do you take ownership in all you do, strive to be the best and are always up for a challenge, but can shake it off and rebound quickly when things don’t go your way?

Do you feel like your compensation is no longer in your control and bonuses/commissions are not fair or just non-existent?

The ability to own equity in a company is of interest to you. If any of these resonate with you, read more below, recruiting may be a career to consider!

Ag 1 Source is looking for an experienced agronomy industry sales professional to join our team in a remote work position! The right individual will have a strong background in an agronomy focused industry (don’t confuse this with needing an agronomist, it’s not a technical role), solid work ethic, and integrity as a foundational value. In this role we are targeting growth with our clients in the Southern and Eastern US, so while you do not necessarily have to live in these states, we are seeking someone who has connections with Ag Retailers and other agronomy industry organizations throughout this area. We are seeking someone with 8+ years of experience in some sales capacity where you’ve experienced success in growing your current business.

We would prefer someone who has worked out of a corporate office, has “polish” and professionalism but doesn’t want to continue down the corporate path. We are seeking those who are looking to pave their own way with unlimited earning potential and equity.

Why Consider Recruiting?

• You have a strong network of connections in the areas outlined above, that you’d like to cultivate to a higher level.
• It’s a remote job, work from home but talk ag all day!
• If you are interested in less travel, more time with your family, we can offer that.
• You are in control of your success, more effort = more income potential.
• You enjoy networking and talking to different people all day and get to know them at a deeper level.
• You’ve been a successful salesman or sales manager and looking for a new challenge.
• Equity in a company you work for is interesting to you.

But, this job is NOT for everyone:

• We need folks with a HIGH level of Integrity.
• We need you to be comfortable in your home office every day, talking on the phone, with minimal face to face time with those we interact with.
• We need people who are exceptional at building relationships and can tell the story of our clients, their business, products or services.
• We need people who can work as a team and know their work not only impacts them but the team as a whole.
• We need people who can be resilient and fight when things go wrong to make it better, not get fed up and run.
• We need people who are ok with having standards, goals and accountability to meet those goals.

What you will be doing:

• Build relationships across your market area with employees and employers
• Identify, recruit, and evaluate potential candidates for position openings
• Negotiate terms of employment and assist to resolve any post-employment issues
• Communicate through verbal, written, or other forms of communication
• Share and discuss relevant market information with employees and employers across your market area
• Be a trusted strategic advisor
• Other company responsibilities

A successful candidate for this role will possess the following:

• Prior sales/merchandising experience with a large network of contacts in agronomy across the south and eastern US.
• Strong communication skills including being a great questioner but also an exceptional listener.
• Driven to accomplish your goals regardless of the situation
• Core values of integrity and family first
• Entrepreneurial background or want to build something and control your potential earnings
• Strong time management skills
• Good ability to read people

Compensation: Strong compensation plan with unlimited income potential and the ability to become an owner. Will need to be comfortable with a first year estimated income in the $70-$100K range as this is a heavily commissioned role and takes a while to reach your full compensation potential. If you are willing to bet on yourself and want to make over six figures, you can get there!

Benefits: Yes, good package of benefits

Desired Location: Remote position, can be anywhere as long as your connections are in the above area!
