[QUOTE="Pieces_of_Eight, post: 8146927, member: 41606"] Start with a realistic job description, setting out the role. Then think about the calibre of person you would like to fill that role. Then think about the package you will need to attract that person... I saw a job advert his morning for an arable foreman on 1300ha, with responsibilities including Gatekeeper and all RT/FA recordkeeping, overseeing harvest operations, leadership & labour management. To me that isn't a foreman's role, it's a management position. If there is already a manager (probably tied up with non-agri diversifications e.g lettings/sporting/forestry/AD/renewables) then he needs an assistant or a deputy. Or restructure and clarify the roles, with a farm director looking after property and diversifications, overseeing a farm manager who looks after the actual farming. [/QUOTE]
