NEWS and MISCL. Ag and Crop Production blowing up!!!
Perhaps the cutest dog ever! Stebbins and Associates had a near RECORD in placements for 4th quarter!! Wow! 2012 looks even better!

Type in "thestebinator", and check out our virtual job descriptions, and clips from various segments of the industry!! We are just getting started, but more to come! OMG- we have not been this busy since 2000! Seriously, check out all the newbie recruiters running around- 10 yrs ago it was only me and perhaps 2 others here in the west, and now they are coming out of the woodwork! Why all the hiring? Demographics, new technology, new organic materials, new offshore sources, and the Global mandate to grow more, with less! Never been a better time to get into this business. Is there hope for Turf and Ornamentals??? Keep that prayer cloth out! Not even close! YOUR MOUTH during the interview!
Oh my, this was one for the annals, sadly. Just had a candidate go all the way to the last round, only to lose himself with overconfidence by proceeding to use the Lord's name in vain, not once, not twice, but thrice! Had this person "read the room", they would have recognized the culture enough, but no.... Tragic, stupid, and NOT professional. Let this be a lesson to all.
WARNING- There's a new crop of recruiters roaming about due to the incredible staffing shortage in Ag. A number of these Newbies are flat out telling candidates that they must not work with other recruiters! This is crap. YOU are the issue, not the recruiter! This is not like a real estage agent people. Candidates do not pay us, so they are free to roam, following any leads they find. If you work with Stebbins, you owe it to yourself to explore all leads, even my competitors! It's not about the recruiter making money, it's about you taking the best job for your family, period! Don't work with staffing Pimps!
The “Rule Changers” It’s no secret that the Food and Crop Production Input Industry is STABLE, and GROWING. International and Domestic Investors, retired industry veterans, and even growers/cooperatives are collectively manufacturing/formulating and bringing to market new green materials- chemicals, fertilzers, soil amendments, etc., at an unprecedented rate. They are CHANGING THE RULES OF THE GAME! These new companies are sacrificing the ‘sacred cow’ of distribution, reaping higher profits, and passing on value their growers/end users are taking all the way to the bank! What’s happening? It’s the Perfect Storm of opportunity, and it’s knocking on our doorstep. Traditional distribution has remained quiet, even “in denial” about them so far, but this is because we are in infancy stages. Soon the wheel will be squeaking, smoking, and shooting sparks. That’s when the rules of the game and the role of the distributor will be re-evaluated, and then re-tooled. For those engaged in, or prepared to invest in such a business, Stebbins and Associates offers a comprehensive and confidential Consulting Service. We can introduce to you independent, niche specialists who have done what you need done, and who will safeguard the confidential intellectual properties of your business:
- Formulations, Chemists, Researchers, and Scientists - Operations/ Plant Managers - Regulatory/ Product Registrations - Field Test Trials - Industry Information (products, competitors, distributors, independent agents, manufacturers, private label…) - Marketing, Literature, Labels, Containers - Logistics/Shipping - International Sourcing and Distribution - Human Resources - Direct Sales Leads- according to Region, Type, End User….
