Long-time supporter of AgCareers, Cindy Heser, HR Talent Acquisition Representative for Dupont Pioneer, was honored during the 10th Annual HR Roundtable for her continued support. I took the opportunity to talk with Cindy during the event and ask her a few questions about what Dupont Pioneer looks for in recruiting potential employees for careers with their company.

“What we’re looking for in new employees are people that can be good team players, people that are collaborative in their approach and are innovative problem solvers. That’s what we really need in the agriculture industry, globally, as well as across the United States. Universities that are here are all trying to develop those students for us and we are ready to hire and really help us grow agriculture because ag is hot right now. We have never really felt the giant impact of the recession and we have been growing for years.”

“Look for an organization that fits you and know your strengths. If you know yourself best then you can figure out where that match is going to be.”

Dupont Pioneer is proud to be the host of the 2013 North American Ag & FOod HR Roundtable, so don’t worry if you missed this years event. Plans are already underway and it is guaranteed to be a success.
