What AgHires does

AgHires, operating as a division of Agprovise, LLC, is a specialized recruitment and job advertising firm serving the agriculture, agribusiness, food production, food processing, horticulture, and related industries. Founded by Lori Culler from her family's third-generation farm to address the lack of HR and talent acquisition resources in agriculture, the company operates a self-serve job board platform at jobs.aghires.com alongside a full-service recruiting and executive search practice. It claims category-leadership positioning as the largest agricultural job board and the #1 ag-focused recruiting firm, with 7,000+ daily job postings, 3,000+ industry clients, 1,000+ placements to date, and coverage across 60+ industry sectors including ag technology, biotechnology, livestock, dairy, seed, crop protection, and food processing.

The platform combines a job board (postings, email marketing, social advertising, candidate sourcing, job alerts, expanded distribution) with a candidate database, resume parsing, and AI-powered matching and recommendation engines. Supporting products include background checks, employer branding, applicant management tools, and free internship postings. The firm maintains a small team (1–10 employees) and is headquartered in Lambertville, Michigan, serving primarily the United States and Canada.

AgHires generates revenue through three streams: monthly job-advertising subscriptions, transaction-fee full-service recruiting (no upfront fees, pay only on successful hire), and executive search for C-suite and senior leadership roles. Its go-to-market is dual-track: a self-serve product-led channel for SMB employers and a consultative sales motion (phone, scheduled meetings) for enterprise and executive engagements. All recruiters are stated to have direct agricultural industry experience, and the firm offers a 6-month guarantee on professional placements and a 1-year guarantee on C-suite placements — the longest in its vertical — supported by a reported 95% candidate long-term retention rate and 90% client return/referral rate.
