Our Story

Joe Produce was founded by Rex Lawrence, who began his career in California's Salinas Valley and worked his way up to Vice President of Sales & Marketing. Having seen hiring from every angle, he launched JoeProduce.com to connect great people with great produce companies in a smarter, more efficient way. As the network grew, customers asked for more hands-on support. That demand led to Joe Produce Search, an executive search and recruiting division focused on critical and confidential hires. Today, JoeProduce.com and Joe Produce Search are trusted resources for hiring in the produce industry. We blend technology with real human support and live by the Golden Rule - treating clients and candidates the way we'd want to be treated.
