Regenerate Outcomes runs a pioneering soil health programme for British farmers, mentoring them to adopt beneficial management practices that build soil organic matter and sequester carbon. This is accompanied by farm data collection and modelling capabilities to generate leading verified soil carbon credits.
As a result their hiring requirements are varied, ranging from expert technologists through to commercial and agri-sector specialists. Furthermore, as a small (albeit fast growing!) business in the regenerative ag sphere, individuals joining the business need to be able to thrive in a start-up like environment as well as being passionate about the company’s sustainability related objectives.
AgRecruit was initially introduced to Regenerative Outcomes in order to provide support with a Data Scientist hire, requiring somebody with agri sector knowledge. We were able to deliver a batch of thoroughly vetted and briefed candidates that also respected the hiring parameters provided (around aspects such as salary budget, location and availability) in a timely fashion, and a smooth interview process whittled this down to two standout candidates from which a hire was made. According to Director Tom Dillon at the time; “AgRecruit provided us with an excellent recruitment service, refining the search to a highly competent group of final candidates. The hired candidate has proven his worth to the business within a short period of time.”
So far so good, but could we do more for them? Fast forward to today, and our rigorous and effective service has been deployed on multiple occasions in order to support Regenerate Outcomes across a range of role types in different disciplines, some needing agri / sustainability sector expertise, and others requiring us to delve into other sectors in order to pull in deep and transferrable experience. With successful appointments now having been made in sales, marketing and further technical disciplines, we are now seen as Regenerate Outcomes talent partner of choice, and look forward to supporting them with their future growth efforts.
In the words of Matt Jordon, Regenerate’s Chief Scientific Officer, “Our recruitment process has been transformed since we started working with AgRecruit. Having previously struggled to identify high quality candidates with suitable experience, we are now able to rely on AgRecruit to consistently provide a good selection of candidates for our review, and support us with a smooth and timely interviewing and hiring process. The success rate of employees in their roles has also improved.”
