Company profile
researched Sep 2026AgHelp is a human capital services company built around a mobile platform that connects agricultural employers, agricultural workers and worker-support agencies, with the stated aim of addressing labor shortages in farming. Its public site functions as a nationwide agriculture job board, letting employers post jobs at no cost and letting job seekers search listings spanning farm labor, farm management careers, agronomy positions and equipment technician roles across the United States. The site is presented in both English and Spanish and includes sections for worker resources and for posting farm services.
The platform's stated value proposition differs by participant: employers are intended to lower hiring costs and gain more predictable labor supply; workers gain choice of location and the ability to compare earning potential across postings; and support agencies can reach more worker clients, which in turn affects the funding they receive. The company is categorized as operating in HR and vertical SaaS within agriculture, and is described as a non-AI, B2B business. It is incorporated as a C-corp and lists a small team, with Feliciano Paredes named on the company's Gust profile alongside advisors Kelly LaPierre and Jason Pliml.
Business model
B2B platform serving agricultural employers, with workers and support agencies as additional participants. Job posting is offered free of charge on the public site, and the company is characterized as combining subscription SaaS, freemium, services and consulting, and marketplace commission elements.
Described as spanning subscription SaaS, freemium, services and consulting, and marketplace commission models; job postings on the public site are free to employers.
Traction

Market position
A small, early-stage private company positioned in agricultural staffing and HR technology; comparable companies identified include Farmhand on Demand, AgHires and Ganaz.

Technology
A mobile platform plus a web-based agricultural job board with search for agriculture jobs, employer job posting, a farm services posting function, and worker resource pages in English and Spanish.
Go-to-market
Free job posting to attract employer supply-side listings, a searchable job board and worker resources to attract job seekers, and partnerships such as LABR for on-demand labor. Early growth was supported through accelerator programs and grant funding from agricultural and economic development organizations.
Agricultural employers and farms seeking labor, agricultural and farm workers seeking jobs, and worker-support agencies serving farmworker populations.
Geography
Headquartered in Belding, Michigan, with job listings and employer/worker matching covering the United States nationally.
