Hiring guide · AMERICAS

Agriculture recruitment across the AMERICAS.

From our offices in Research Triangle Park, NC and Sarasota, FL we lead critical hires across North, Central and South America, from the boardroom to the field.

The short answer

Chaseman Global is a specialist search firm for agriculture and life sciences across the AMERICAS. We appoint presidents, global and regional leaders and the commercial, technical and regulatory teams behind them for multinationals, family-owned companies and venture-backed innovators, from Canada to Argentina.

The AMERICAS are home to two of the world's largest agricultural markets in the United States and Brazil and to the headquarters, research centers and regional hubs of many of the companies that set the industry's agenda. Leaders hired here often run a global portfolio, a global function or an entire continent.

Our completed AMERICAS assignments reflect that reach. They include a President for the US business of a global crop protection and chemicals group, a Head of North America Ag, a Global Head of Innovation, a Global Head of Regulatory Affairs, a Vice President of Sales, a Head of LATAM and a Business Leader for Brazil. Around those leaders we build the country, commercial, technical and regulatory teams that turn strategy into revenue in every market from Canada to Argentina.

One global firm. Our AMERICAS, EMEA and APAC teams work as one, so a shortlist for a role in this region is drawn from wherever the best people are.

Roles we place

  • CEO, President and Board
  • Global and Regional Leadership
  • General and Country Management
  • Commercial and Sales Leadership
  • Regulatory, R&D and Science
  • Marketing, Product and Portfolio
Hiring across the region

What it takes to hire well across the AMERICAS.

Many markets in one region

The United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina each have their own customers, channels, regulation and employment law.

How we solve it. We map each market on its own terms and approach candidates in their own language where it matters.

The best person may be elsewhere

For many roles the strongest candidate sits in another country or another part of the industry.

How we solve it. One global team searches the whole AMERICAS and beyond, so you see the full market.

Hiring ahead of an entity

Companies entering a new country often need people on the ground before they have a local company.

How we solve it. Chaseman OnDemand can employ the hire compliantly from day one.

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.
