Tyson Foods to Host AgCareers HR Roundtable

Tyson Foods is excited to be hosting AgCareer’s 2012 North American Ag & Food HR Roundtable at their headquarters in Springdale, Ar. The event is right around the corner on Aug. 7-9, but it’s not too late to add it to your calendar. Rashad Delph, Director of Recruiting with Tyson Foods, was able to talk with Cindy about their involvement and preparations with the upcoming festivities.

“We’re hosting this event because it’s never been hosted in the southern region and were happy to support the 10th anniversary of the Roundtable and the partnership we have had with AgCareers over the past six or seven years. We thought it would be a great opportunity to kind of kick off something a little bit different compared to the Roundtables that have been hosted in the Midwest.”

“I don’t think its been hosted at a corporation in awhile. I think we will bring a new flavor so different people in the industry can see Tyson Foods. They will get to see our pilot plant, our discovery center and learn a little about our processing of beef, pork and chicken.”

“We have had a great partnership and have attended numerous AgCareers events. We use their services a lot for job postings and work with their college relations division as well.”

For more information about the event go to AgCareers.com, where you can find out how to get registered along with a detailed schedule for the event.
