Job posts only reach candidates who are actively searching.

But in the Green Industry, the best people — your top crew leaders, irrigators, sales reps, account managers, designers, and operations leaders — are usually already working somewhere else.

That’s where our recruiting team steps in.

BR1 doesn’t wait for candidates to come to you.

We combine the reach of the Green Industry’s #1 job board with proactive, outbound recruiting to connect with both:

Active candidates

People browsing job boards and applying today.

Passive candidates

Experienced professionals who aren’t actively looking but will consider the right opportunity.

By targeting both groups, BR1 delivers stronger pipelines, higher-quality applicants, and candidates who fit your culture — not just your job description.

This is real recruiting power.

Job boards are a great start — but they won’t solve your hiring challenges on their own.

Most green industry employers struggle with the same issues:

• Too few qualified applicants
• Applicants who ghost
• High competition for skilled roles
• Seasonality and fast-changing labor demands
• Not enough time to source talent proactively
• Too many unqualified “easy apply” submissions
• The best people already working elsewhere

A job post gives you visibility, but recruiting gives you results.

That’s why employers turn to BR1 when they need more than just applicants — they need hires.

The right hires!

Most recruiters take a “post and pray” approach — they put your job online and hope the right people apply.

We don’t operate that way.

BR1 combines industry expertise, proactive outreach, and flat-fee pricing to deliver a recruiting experience built specifically for the landscaping and green industry.

Here’s what makes our approach different:

We actively recruit, not just advertise.

Instead of waiting for candidates, our team sources, screens, and engages the people who have the skills you need — including passive candidates who aren’t browsing job boards.

We know the industry, the roles, and the labor market.

From account managers and designers to crew leaders, irrigators, and operations staff, we understand what it takes to hire top performers in this industry.

We offer transparent, flat-fee pricing.

No 20–25% placement fees. No surprises. Two simple options: Subscription Recruiting (pay per month) and On-Demand Recruiting (pay per hire).

We’re built for busy employers.

You stay focused on running the business. We bring you qualified candidates who match your role and culture.

This isn’t traditional recruiting.

It’s Green Industry recruiting done differently — retention focused, and designed to get you better hires.

BR1 recruits for roles across the entire landscaping and green industry — from field positions to leadership and everything in between. Whether you need skilled labor, experienced managers, or specialized talent, our team understands the work, the talent, and the qualifications needed to succeed.

If it supports the landscaping or green industry — we recruit for it.

Hiring in the Green Industry takes more than generic recruiting — it takes a partner who understands the work, the seasonality, and the people who make this industry run.

That’s why BR1 stays deeply connected to the organizations that shape landscaping, lawn care, irrigation, arboriculture, and snow & ice management nationwide.

Our involvement with leading industry associations keeps us close to the trends, challenges, and workforce needs employers face every day — so we can recruit smarter, faster, and with stronger results.
