A hands on approach to agricultural recruitment

About Us Contact

Welcome to Top Seed Recruitment

We’re not just recruiters—we’re farmers too. We understand first-hand what it takes to have a safe and successful season on the farm. That’s why we’re changing the way farm recruitment is done. Unlike traditional agencies that rely solely on advertising and reference checks, we go directly to where young talent is—headhunting skilled, motivated, and ambitious candidates who are ready to experience agriculture in Australia or New Zealand. Our hands-on recruitment ensures that every candidate we place is suited to the role, assessed for their skills, and prepared for the unique challenges of broad acre farming.
