In this candid and thought-provoking episode of The German Eight Podcast, Joe Sampson sits down with Mark Waschek, President of Ag One Source, a top-tier recruiting firm specializing in agriculture and agribusiness. They unpack the deep shifts in career paths, hiring practices, and organizational culture across the ag industry — and why so many placements fail.
Mark draws from 20+ years of experience to share what companies and job seekers often get wrong about recruitment, retention, and performance. From the critical importance of cultural fit to the four pillars of a successful hire (Culture, Style, Expectations, Skills), this conversation offers unmatched insight for anyone navigating ag careers or managing talent.
Whether you’re an executive, hiring manager, or ag professional considering your next move, you’ll find invaluable perspective and advice you won’t hear anywhere else.
