Hiring guide · APAC
Agriculture recruitment across APAC.
C-suite, regional and science leadership for agriculture, food and life sciences companies across Asia Pacific.
The short answer
Chaseman Global is a specialist search firm for agriculture, food and life sciences across APAC. We appoint chief officers, regional leaders, science and product leaders and commercial teams for companies headquartered in the region and for global businesses building their presence in it.
APAC combines some of the world's most advanced agricultural science in Australia and New Zealand with fast-changing food and farming markets across Asia. Companies in the region need leaders who can turn scientific breakthroughs into commercial businesses. Global companies need leaders who can build a regional organization far from head office.
Our completed APAC assignments include a Chief Technology Officer, a Chief Science Officer, a Chief Commercial Officer, executive directors for science and product, a Director of Commercial Operations for Australia and New Zealand and an APAC Regulatory Director. Around them we have built commercial, technical and scientific teams from Australia and New Zealand to Singapore, China and India.
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, CTO, CSO and CCO
- APAC and Country Leadership
- Science, R&D and Site Leadership
- Commercial and Partnerships Leadership
- Regulatory Directors and Specialists
- Product, Technical and Field Teams
Hiring across the region
What it takes to hire well across APAC.
Distinct markets, vast distances
Australia, New Zealand and the markets of Asia differ in customers, language, regulation and employment law.
How we solve it. We map each market on its own terms, with one team covering the whole region.
Local pools can be small
For many roles the local talent pool is limited and the right person may be in another country.
How we solve it. We search across APAC and beyond and test willingness to relocate in the first conversation.
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.
