What Agricultural and Farming Jobs does

Agricultural and Farming Jobs LTD, trading as Agri FJ, is a UK-headquartered specialist recruitment agency founded in 2013 and based in Bromsgrove. The company provides permanent-placement recruitment, executive headhunting, self-serve job advertising, and ancillary CV writing services to employers and candidates across the UK agricultural value chain. It organizes delivery through nine vertical-specific specialist divisions: Agriculture, Farming, Horticulture, Food & Fresh Produce, Pet/Vet/Animal Health, Machinery/Technical/Engineering, Agro-Chemicals/Fertilisers/Seeds, Specialist Education, and Software & Technology, each staffed by consultants with subsector domain knowledge.

The underlying technology stack is minimal: the firm operates a web-based job board and candidate portal rather than a proprietary matching or assessment platform. Its competitive positioning rests on consultant-led sales, niche agricultural expertise accumulated over 12 years, partnerships with four UK agricultural universities and the City and Guilds credentialing body, and active presence at industry trade shows including UK Dairy Day, LAMMA, Cereals, and Dairy-Tech. The company is privately held with no external funding or parent entity disclosed.

Revenue is generated through three streams: contingency and retained recruitment fees for permanent placements (the professional services backbone), self-serve job advertising on the platform (a budget-tier, SMB-friendly entry point), and CV writing services for candidates. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, with dedicated consultants managing client relationships and a parallel self-serve channel for budget-constrained employers. The company claims UK and international service reach, though the operating footprint is single-site.

Others

• CV-Library: UK generalist job board with significant agricultural listings. Competes indirectly via the self-serve advertising channel but lacks specialist recruiter-led services.
• Farmers Weekly Jobs: Agricultural media-owned job board serving the UK farming sector. Competes at the advertising/self-serve end of the market and overlaps with the firm's candidate acquisition channels, but does not offer recruiter-led services.

Direct peers

• MorePeople: UK recruitment agency specialising in horticulture, agriculture, food, and fresh produce. Operates with multiple specialist divisions and a similar sales-led consultant model, making it a closely matched peer.
• REAL Success: UK-based recruitment consultancy serving the agricultural, rural, and land-based sectors. Comparable in niche focus, executive search capability, and reliance on industry partnerships.
• AgriRS (Agricultural Recruitment Specialists): US-based specialist agricultural recruitment firm placing candidates across farming, agribusiness, and food sectors. Comparable in vertical specialisation and executive search model, though operating in a different geography.
• De Lacy Executive: UK-based specialist recruitment and executive search firm focused exclusively on the agricultural, food, and rural sectors. Directly comparable in vertical specialisation, headhunting model, and UK + international client base.
• Hodder Recruitment: UK recruiter covering food, agriculture, horticulture, and fresh produce verticals. Overlapping service offering (permanent, temporary, executive) and similar vertical-specialist positioning.
• Hillary Group: UK food and agriculture executive search firm. Comparable in sector specialisation and senior-level mandate focus, though with a narrower vertical than Agricultural and Farming Jobs' nine divisions.

Broad incumbents

• Reed: UK's largest generalist recruitment agency with established agriculture and food production coverage. Competitor on commodity permanent placements and job board listings, but lacks the firm's specialist vertical depth.
• Hays: Global generalist recruiter with a dedicated UK life sciences and agriculture practice. Competes for mid-to-senior agricultural mandates but is not specialist-focused across all nine of the firm's verticals.
