Who is De Lacy Executive Recruitment?

Finding the right candidate for a specialist or specific role within your organization is probably one of the biggest challenges agriculture organizations can face in today's climate.

Do you do it yourself by advertising in print, post online, or post on social media? Or do you engage a recruitment agency to find suitable candidates, thus saving you valuable time sorting the wheat from the chaff?

But when should you use a recruitment agency, and what exactly is their role? What relationship will they have with you? What steps should an executive recruiter take to fully understand the exact specifications, qualifications, and experience needed to fill your vacancies in an increasingly complex and technology-driven agriculture and food production industry?

De Lacy Executive Recruitment specializes in the agricultural and land-based sectors. De Lacy Executive Recruitment has been around for 22 years, and that just means that we pretty much know everybody in the marketplace. We've either worked with or know every company, and we know a large number of candidates.

De Lacy Executive Recruitment is now owned by Farms.com — a company similar to Farmer's Weekly — based in Canada. Farms.com provide information and media to farmers around the world, and is particularly involved in the recruitment sector. The Farms.com Group own job boards, like the Farmer's Weekly job board, they also own job boards in the food sector, and they own De Lacy Executive Recruitment in the UK.

De Lacy Executive Recruitment now owns Merston Peters, another recruitment business in the UK, and we also have a job board called AgCareers.com in North America. The Farms.com Group, the parent company, is very much involved in recruitment across both sides of the Atlantic, and across the world as well.

Almost everyone on the team has an agriculture background and understands the nuances of agriculture and food production.
