Arkansas Global Connect

What Arkansas Global Connect does

Arkansas Global Connect (AGC) is a privately held, veteran-owned professional services firm headquartered in Conway, Arkansas, that connects U.S. employers with seasonal foreign workers through the H-2A (agricultural) and H-2B (non-agricultural) visa programs. The firm handles the full placement workflow — recruitment sourcing via an on-the-ground Honduras office, worker screening, coordination with partner immigration law firms for government authorizations, logistics, and ongoing support through the contracted period. AGC's customer base is a broad horizontal mix of agricultural employers (orchards, vineyards, nurseries, livestock, row-crop growers, food processors) and non-agricultural employers (hospitality, landscaping, country clubs, seasonal retail, tourism), reached through direct outreach, a bilingual website, and Spanish-language Facebook channels.

AGC does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its workflow is built on a HubSpot website, a Jiffy-powered applicant tracking system for candidate onboarding, and direct phone/email outreach. Revenue is generated by charging U.S. employers fees for facilitating the H-2 visa process; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per engagement based on visa type, number of workers, and logistics scope. The company supplements its core placement business with a smaller Global Services line covering crisis support for international travelers and immigration consulting for institutions and law firms.

The firm's differentiators center on founder Dana Deree's two decades as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer — including service as Consul General in Honduras — and the team's combined expertise in immigration law, agriculture, and compliance. AGC is a Leading Member of the American Association of AgLabor Providers and brands itself around the Employer Pays Principle and ethical worker treatment. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no institutional investors; ownership is founder-controlled and the company operates with a small 1–10 person team.

Broad incumbents

• Equus Workforce Solutions: Equus Workforce Solutions is a large, established workforce development and staffing provider serving employers across multiple sectors. It is a broad incumbent with adjacent H-2/seasonal labor capabilities and a much larger employer footprint than AGC.

Emerging players

• AgSocio: AgSocio is a workforce platform that helps U.S. farms and labor contractors manage H-2A recruitment, compliance, and payroll. It overlaps with AGC on the agricultural seasonal labor market but is differentiated by its software/SaaS approach.
• H-2A Complete / LaborMax Solutions: H-2A Complete is a focused H-2A program service provider assisting smaller farms and growers with seasonal labor sponsorship. It is an emerging player serving the same agricultural employer niche as AGC's H-2A business, though typically with a smaller, regional footprint.
• TrueNorth Compliance: TrueNorth Compliance provides H-2A compliance, payroll, and worker management software and services to farms and labor contractors. It is an emerging player with partial overlap — adjacent to AGC's compliance/coordination function but tech- and software-led rather than a recruiter.

Direct peers

• Ag Workforce Solutions: Ag Workforce Solutions provides H-2A and H-2B visa labor placement and workforce management for U.S. agricultural and non-agricultural employers. It is highly comparable to AGC because it offers both program types and targets the same employer segments.
• USA Farm Labor: USA Farm Labor recruits and places H-2A workers from Mexico and Latin America for U.S. farms, nurseries, and food processors. It is a direct agricultural seasonal labor peer with overlapping customer base and worker sourcing geography.
• MAS Labor (H-2A Solutions): MAS Labor is a leading H-2A farm labor contractor that recruits, transports, and places seasonal agricultural workers from Mexico into U.S. farms. It is directly comparable to AGC on agricultural seasonal labor placement, visa sponsorship coordination, and grower customer base.
• Stribling & Associates Immigration: Stribling & Associates is a specialized immigration law firm focused on H-2B (and related) non-agricultural seasonal visas. It competes with AGC on the H-2B side and is comparable on employer-base, compliance expertise, and visa filing workflow.
• iWork Global: iWork Global is a labor immigration services firm that places H-2A and H-2B workers for U.S. employers, with a strong focus on Latin American sourcing. It competes head-to-head with AGC in seasonal labor placement and visa processing coordination.
• CIERTO Global: CIERTO is an ethical H-2A agricultural labor recruiter that connects U.S. farms with seasonal workers from Mexico and Central America. It is the closest direct competitor to AGC's H-2A business, sharing the 'ethical recruitment' positioning and focus on Latin American sourcing.
