Finding the right candidate for a role in agricultural journalism and communications can be a challenge, but the British Guild of Agricultural Journalists’ recruitment service continues to deliver outstanding results. As these testimonials show, employers seeking skilled professionals in agriculture and media consistently find high-calibre applicants through the Guild. Whether for editorial positions, communications roles, or specialist industry hires, the Guild’s targeted audience ensures that job adverts reach exactly the right people—saving time, improving candidate quality, and delivering excellent value for money.
“Since BOFIN started we have advertised through the Guild every time we’re looking to add to the team. You know it goes in front of the right people and you get a high calibre of applicant. We couldn’t have achieved what we have without it.”
Tom Allen-Stevens, managing director, British On-Farm Innovation Network (BOFIN)“When we were looking for an editor we tried various media and communications but it was the advert in the Guild newsletter which gave the most positive results and some great candidates. It also yielded a novel approach from one candidate to filling the role which has been a great success.”
Alan Whibley, managing director, WB Publishing, British Dairying“The BGAJ is always my first port of call for recruitment adverts. I’ve tried advertising elsewhere and always get inundated with totally unsuitable applications – people who know absolutely nothing about British agriculture or journalism – whereas with the Guild you’re advertising to exactly the people you want to reach. The quality of applicants is always high, so for me it’s the best value for money option.”
