Not an ordinary recruitment firm.
Agri people screen agri people
Consultants with agriculture degrees and 20+ years in agri companies read every CV and call every candidate before you see them.
A live agri CV database
Every search starts with CVs already in our database, matched and scored against your job description, then the market map.
Seasons built into the plan
We plan field hiring around Kharif and Rabi, tractor season and campus cycles, so people join before the season, not after it.

Hiring in India from abroad?
Seed, crop protection, machinery and food companies based abroad can use AgriHires to build their Indian teams, from the first country manager to a national sales force, without setting up an HR team in India first. See hiring in India for global agri and food companies.

Agri recruitment, answered.
- What does an agricultural recruitment agency do?
- An agricultural recruitment agency finds and screens people for companies in farming, agri inputs, farm machinery, food processing, dairy and agri-tech. Unlike a general recruiter, it knows the crops, seasons, dealer channels and regulations behind each role, so it can judge whether a candidate's field results are real before the employer meets them.
- How is AgriHires different from other agriculture recruiters?
- AgriHires is run by agri professionals with 20+ years in leading agriculture organisations, who hired agri teams themselves. Every CV is screened by someone with a B.Sc Agriculture, M.Sc Agriculture or B.Tech Agricultural Engineering background, and every search is run against a live database of agri CVs, not only job-board replies.
- What does AgriHires charge?
- AgriHires charges 8% to 13.5% of the candidate's annual CTC, depending on the profile, quoted before the search starts. Every placement carries a free replacement if the hire leaves within 60 days. Candidates never pay.
- Do you do executive search and headhunting in agriculture?
- Yes. For CEOs, business heads, country managers and other leadership roles we run a confidential, retained executive search: we map leaders across competing companies, approach them discreetly and present a shortlist in about 14 days. Most leadership searches close in 90 to 120 days.
- Which countries do you recruit in?
- Our base and largest candidate pool is India, where we hire in every major farming state. We also recruit for Indian and global agri and food companies in emerging markets in South and South-East Asia, the Gulf and Africa, usually Indian professionals moving abroad or roles that report into India.
- How fast can you send profiles?
- For field and plant roles we aim to share a domain-screened shortlist within 3 days of the brief; for managers and specialists within 5 days; for leadership about 14 days. Through the form on this page we aim to send up to 3 matched profiles within 48 hours of the brief.
- Can you hire in bulk, for example 50 field officers in one state?
- Yes. We run district-level drives and campus drives at agricultural universities, and deliver candidates in batches grouped by state and language, usually within 30 days.
- Do you hire for food processing and FMCG companies too?
- Yes. We recruit plant heads, production managers, FSSAI and BRC quality leads and farm procurement teams for food processing companies, alongside seeds, crop protection, fertilisers, farm machinery, dairy and agri-tech.
