Our goal at Ag Assist is to connect you to local workers to help make a difference to your business, family and life.

Being farmers ourselves, we understand it can be hard to find skilled workers in agriculture that are available at short notice.

Ag Assist provides you access to workers that you may have not found through your normal recruitment channels.

Whether you have an urgent need for a worker or something more longer-term, Ag Assist helps you find and connect with those that can assist.

Ag Assist – connecting people to the land.

FIND WORKERS

Urgent or One-Off Jobs

You learn to expect the unexpected when farming.  Sometimes a phone call or message comes in that you just didn’t need.

It might be an injury to a staff member or one of your family members needing you urgently.

It might be that you need an extra pair of hands to prepare for a shed inspection or you have planned to drench and weigh the young stock.

Ag Assist provides you the opportunity to connect with workers that are flexible and can commit to those one-off jobs, whether they are urgent or planned in advance.

Ongoing or Regular Work

Finding the right person and keeping them is also important to any successful business.

It takes time (that you don’t have) to train people about your farming operation and know that when they are on farm the understand what needs to be done and they know how to keep safe.

With Ag Assist you can directly message workers, view their availability calendars, mark workers as ‘preferred’ and arrange ongoing work as required.

Long-Term Work

Seasonal fluctuations and demands such as calving and lambing often require a longer commitment.

Ag Assist provides you the ability to post long-term or fixed-term jobs as required.  You can also filter and search for workers that have indicated they can commit for longer periods, for example, university students during a semester break.

The ability to access online profiles and message workers directly provides up-to-date information to assist with your decision.

Ag Assist made a difference

"Highly recommend to others in the agri sector."

Stuart M

Sheep & Beef Farmer, Canterbury

Ag Assist takes the guesswork out of finding workers.

“Seeing their profile, other farmer comments and ratings just puts a lot of trust in the system.  It’s a great platform to find short-term workers, to fill holes or even seasonal work.  Be confident knowing that there’s quality workers on there to help you out in the time of need.“

Jenna M

Dairy Farmer, Canterbury

I plan and book staff in advance.

“Three days prior to mating my Herd Manager broke his ankle. After reworking my staffing roster I needed some supplementary help to cover gaps. The Ag Assist availability calendar allowed me to plan and book staff in advance, which was instant peace of mind. No housing was required, purely drive in/ drive out.”

Vaughan B

Dairy Farmer, Canterbury

Attracting new skilled staff on a short-term basis was near-on impossible!

“Ag Assist allowed us to fill these positions temporarily with skilled, motivated, and reliable staff at short notice. The platform was easy to use and allowed us to see the pool of available workers and then book a couple of workers who best suited our needs, to carry us through to the end of the season.”

Selene H

Dairy Farmer, Canterbury

I book workers for when I need them!

“Ag Assist transformed our farm’s staffing requirements. As a part-time labour solution, it’s economically sound for us, I don’t have to go looking for jobs to fill in their day. I book for exactly what and when I require them, and that is what we pay for!”
