The Agriculture Recruitment System (ARS)

The Agricultural Recruitment System (ARS) helps agricultural employers recruit qualified U.S. workers on a temporary or seasonal basis, and provides workers seeking temporary agricultural employment with opportunities for such employment.

To learn more about the Agricultural Recruitment System, see 20 CFR 653 Subpart F). 

Through the Agricultural Recruitment System (ARS), State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) can recruit and refer qualified U.S. workers from within a state and from other states when they anticipate that there are less temporary agricultural workers available than needed in the local area. The Agricultural Recruitment System helps agricultural employers meet temporary and seasonal labor needs by matching U.S. job seekers with agricultural jobs.
