Employer Testimonials

• "I had a livestock sales rep of over 20 years retire in Iowa. I knew that Bret Julian and Ag-Source 1 specialize in finding people for professional agricultural positions. Plus I knew that Bret Julian had experience in this industry and was familiar with the skills required to be successful in this business. I found Bret and his people to be very responsive to our needs and sensitive to our time lines. Bret provided several qualified candidates immediately after we had outlined our needs. Bret understood the type of individual we were looking for with respect to experience and aptitude. He and Ag-Source 1 were professional and sensitive to the needs of our company and the candidates. They did not waste my time and attention by "throwing" everyone they had to me to look at but did a pretty fair sort on candidates, up front. I was not disappointed and found several very good candidates to interview and was able to fill my opening in a few short weeks with a competent, experienced and promising individual. My experience was pleasant and productive. I am very pleased with my experience. Thank You, Bret and Ag-Source 1."
• "Our Company has been using Ag1 Source for almost 10 years and, as we have grown, we have filled several key positions in the Company with candidates provided by Ag1 Source.  We can count on candidates provided by Ag1 Source to be the top performers in their area of expertise that are highly qualified, pre-screened and well briefed as to our expectations, prior to our first contact with the job candidate.  I would strongly recommend Ag1 Source as the top agricultural recruiting firm for both employers and professionals looking for new employment opportunities. "
• "It’s been a real pleasure working with Rick at Ag 1 Source. We are a multi-location Ag dealer and finding top talent is a key component in reaching our growth goals. They found a service manager for one of our stores a couple years ago and a service tech for another store just recently. The service manager is top-notch and doing an excellent job. Our shop efficiencies and gross margins are steadily climbing. The new tech is everything Rick said he would be and is progressing nicely. I would highly recommend Ag 1 Source for helping you fill your staffing needs."
•  “I’ve been able to make an offer right in the interview with your candidates.  You give me the right candidates, and all the information I need to put together a package that they will accept.  With everyone else I have to spend my time checking references and guessing at how to put an offer together.  You make it really easy to hire good people”
• “Ag 1 Source has been very professional and I appreciate their approach to how they find and resource candidates.  The background work they do is excellent and I know when I have Ag 1 Source working on an open position for me that they only send the best candidates.  I don’t have to weed through their candidates, they send the good stuff and their candidates stick.”
• “I don’t know how Rhonda finds me the candidates she does, but she saves me a lot of hassle by just bringing me the cream of the crop.  We’ve had great success with Ag 1 Source and Rhonda and she is my one and only go-to person when I have a search.”
• “Brett Julian of Ag1Source has made two excellent placements in the critical areas of engineering and technology. The quality of these placements was clearly demonstrated by their immediate impact and continued contribution to the company.  One measure of their success is demonstrated by the recent promotion of one to an enhanced national role and expansion to senior international responsibility for the other.  These individuals are not only technically competent but they also model the core values of the company. "
• "Most recently Brett has been engaged is presenting candidates for a unique, international commercial director position. He has tenaciously pursued the search without discouragement, sourcing candidates both within and outside of the United States.  "

• "Ryan has found the candidates we are looking for in our company, we have hired 3 within the last year from Ag 1 Source and they are the correct fit. "
• "Our company is regularly searching for employees in different parts of the country.  Using Rick Rupp and Ag 1 Source has made the sorting process of finding qualified candidates easy and fast.  We still place ads in the town or on the internet that we need someone, but we end up sifting through a lot of people before we find one that we want to interview.  Rick consistently brings us well qualified candidates to choose from.  Ag 1 Source and Rick Rupp have become an important partner in our candidate search process.”
• "Ag1Source excelled at meeting our expectations by referring well qualified, screened candidates and just as importantly, candidates that matched our company’s philosophy making for a good fit from the beginning.  Bret Julian’s level of professionalism, honesty and discerning questions throughout the process instilled confidence that we were working with the right company.  Ag1Source will be my first call when look to expand again."
• "I followed up with a cold call from Brett Julian and it has paid off for my company and me.  Brett has found 2 really good sales people who I could have never found on my own.  I had only been able to find people from the Ag Industry, but Brett tapped into some areas and found great people from different industries who have the skills that fit in our business.  These new people have done well and made our sales force more balance.  We don't have the same old ideas at meetings now.  My sales force is getting input from people who have different ideas.  Brett has given me good people and I keep the resumes from the ones I don't hire ....just in case....because I know I can trust Brett to find good people. "

• "I really like the types of candidates you are bringing to me. They are exactly the kind I need. "

• "As a new client, this placement that we just wrapped was definitely the best experience I have ever had working with recruiting consultants. That was the best presentation of information on your candidates I have ever seen, the interview process was well organized, and I appreciated the ‘heads up’ on key characteristics of each candidate. Good job"
