[Learn more about AgHires executive search services](https://aghires.com/executive-recruiting?hsLang=en).
### How does AgHires find veterinarians, animal nutritionists, and research scientists?
AgHires uses targeted research, industry relationships, and direct outreach to engage qualified professionals, including candidates who are not actively applying for jobs. We define the required scientific background, species experience, credentials, and commercial or operational responsibilities during intake, then screen candidates against those requirements before presenting them to your team.
### How does AgHires evaluate technical experience for animal health and genetics roles?
AgHires evaluates candidates through in-depth interviews focused on the experience and capabilities your role requires. Depending on the position, we explore relevant species experience, research environments, product knowledge, animal care responsibilities, feed formulation, or technical sales experience. We also assess motivation, communication, leadership, and team fit. Your hiring team remains responsible for final technical evaluation and any required credential verification.
### Can AgHires recruit feed manufacturing and operations leaders for rural locations?
Yes. AgHires recruits plant managers, production leaders, procurement professionals, and operations executives for feed manufacturing and related businesses, including employers in rural markets. We discuss location, on-site requirements, compensation, and relocation expectations early in the search so candidates understand both the opportunity and the work environment.
### How does the AgHires recruiting process work?
AgHires starts with an intake discussion to understand your business, role requirements, compensation, location, and hiring priorities before you sign the recruiting agreement. After the agreement is signed, we research and contact candidates, conduct in-depth interviews, and present a focused shortlist. We support your team through interviews, candidate evaluation, and offer preparation and acceptance.
### How long does it take to fill an animal health, nutrition, feed, or genetics position?
Most AgHires recruiting searches take 30 to 70 days to fill, while C-suite searches typically take 45 to 75 days. Highly specialized scientific requirements, species experience, location, relocation, compensation, and your interview process can affect timing. We discuss a realistic timeline during intake and provide updates throughout the search.
### How much do AgHires recruiting services cost?
AgHires' standard recruiting fee is 25% of the hired candidate's first-year compensation, with no upfront retainer. First-year compensation generally includes base salary, target or estimated bonus, and estimated commissions. Your recruiting agreement defines the exact fee, compensation components, payment terms, and any other charges that may apply.
### Does AgHires require an exclusive recruiting agreement?
Yes. During the agreement term, AgHires is your exclusive outside recruiting partner for the covered position. This supports focused outreach and consistent representation of your company in a specialized talent market. Your team may continue internal recruiting, including job postings, referrals, and direct outreach, subject to the recruiting agreement's candidate ownership and fee provisions. We review the terms before you sign.
### Does AgHires offer a replacement guarantee?
Yes. AgHires offers replacement guarantees for eligible recruiting placements. Your signed recruiting agreement defines the coverage period, qualifying circumstances, notification requirements, and other conditions. We review the guarantee with you before the search begins so you understand how it applies to your hire.
### Should we use full-service recruiting or job advertising for our open position?
Full-service recruiting is suited to searches that need proactive outreach, candidate interviews, screening, and guidance through the hiring process. Job advertising promotes your opening to attract applicants for your team to review. AgHires can recommend an approach based on the role, compensation, hiring urgency, and your internal resources.
