Recruiting Assistant (Candidate Sourcing) Agriculture Part-Time

AgHires is hiring a part-time, remote Recruiting Assistant to support our recruiting team. Hours will vary between 15-25 per week based on recruiting workload and business needs, Monday through Friday.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a background in agriculture, whether you've worked in sales, customer service, sales support, research, administration, operations, or recruiting. Previous recruiting experience is not required. We're looking for someone who enjoys researching companies, finding people, organizing information, and working independently.

In this behind-the-scenes role, you'll help our recruiters identify and engage talent across agriculture, horticulture, agribusiness, and food production. There is no cold calling, and all direct team interactions are internal. This is not a client-facing position. You'll work collaboratively with our recruiters while focusing on research, candidate identification, and written outreach.
