Dear Manager,
There are 2 things we all know about staffing a precision farming department: top talent is hard to find, and even harder to keep. Hiring the best candidates and retaining them is a constant struggle for many dealers.
Most farm equipment dealers have developed their own talent scouting methods over the years, but as the candidate pool continues to narrow, it pays to incorporate fresh ideas.
It’s true that the hunt for ideal precision farming hires will probably always be a challenge. But using a mix of internships, incentives and continuing education opportunities can go a long way toward lifting the hiring weight from the precision department’s shoulders.
Finding the best fit for your next precision farming specialists and retaining them is markedly different from hiring parts, service and sales staff. As such, there are no one size fits all approaches to onboarding new precision employees.
To help you make the right hiring and training choices, we’ve compiled a Q&A series with industry experts on recruiting and retaining top precision farming specialists into a 6-page eGuide — and we’ve made it absolutely FREE to get it into the hands of as many precision managers as possible in a time when every potential sale counts.
