Agricultural robotics recruitment.
Leaders, launch teams and field engineers for robotics, autonomy and automation businesses selling into farms and food production.
The short answer
Chaseman Global appoints leaders and builds launch teams for agricultural robotics and automation companies, from CEOs and VPs of Sales to country managers, key account managers and field engineers. We built a 105-person DACH target universe to place the first Key Account Manager for a French agricultural robotics manufacturer. That leader is still with the business more than five years later.
Robotics companies entering a new country are hiring before they have a local brand, a customer base or often an entity. The first hire has to sell an unfamiliar machine, build the service model behind it and represent the company to dealers and growers who have never heard of it.
We treat that hire as a market entry decision. We map machinery, crop input and AgTech businesses in the target country, approach the people with dealer and grower relationships and, where needed, employ the successful candidate through Chaseman OnDemand until the company sets up locally.
Roles we place
- CEO, CCO and VP Sales
- Country Managers and First In-Market Hires
- Product and Solutions Managers
- Operations and Supply Chain
- Key Account and Dealer Managers
- Field Service and Application Engineers
The hiring challenge
What makes this market hard to hire in and how we solve it.
An unknown brand
Candidates are being asked to leave established employers for a business their market has not yet seen.
How we solve it. Our approach explains the technology, the backing and the opportunity well enough to earn a serious conversation.
Reliability wins the market
Robotics businesses win on uptime and service as much as on the technology, at every level of the company.
How we solve it. We assess candidates on how they have supported customers and products after the sale.
No local entity yet
Many robotics companies need people in a country before they incorporate there.
How we solve it. Chaseman OnDemand can employ the hire compliantly, so the launch does not wait for the paperwork.
Every search follows our ten-step retained process: a target universe you approve, confidential named approaches, assessed candidates and a target of a shortlist within 21 working days, backed by our 12-month written guarantee.
