#45: Unlocking Talent - Strategies To Attract & Retain Top Notch Employees with Asher Hammond, Specialist Ag Recruiter

Welcome to another episode of The Financial Bloke’s Wealth & Wisdom podcast. Our guest today is Asher Hammond, a specialist Agri recruiter and director of Agrijobs Australia. 

If you are like the many driven rural producers who have faced challenges in attracting and retaining great staff, then you’ll want to tune into this one. 

In this episode, Asher shares techniques used by successful operators to attract exceptional candidates. We also explore the importance of identifying less-than-ideal candidates, including the deceptive "wolf in sheep's clothing" scenario, and learn efficient ways to discern genuine talent and save time and resources.

Some of the topics we’ll be covering:

• Key reasons why good employees leave, and actionable tips for retention and creating a positive work environment that fosters loyalty, engagement, and job satisfaction.
• Effective strategies to prevent staff from being poached by competitors, for building strong relationships, cultivating a positive company culture, and providing growth opportunities to retain valuable employees.
• For remote employers, Asher addresses the specific challenges they face in attracting and retaining staff and provides insights into how to meet the needs and expectations of remote job seekers, regardless of distance from a regional centre.
• Determining the appropriate level of compensation to maintain loyalty and strike the right balance between fair pay and staff retention.
