AgTech · Software and data
Farm software and ag data recruitment.
Technology, product and commercial leaders for farm management software, sensing, analytics and digital agronomy businesses.
The short answer
Chaseman Global appoints leaders and builds teams for farm management software, ag data and in-field sensing companies, from CEOs, CTOs and heads of product to enterprise sales, data science and customer success teams. We placed a European Account Executive for an in-field sensing and analytics company through a multi-country process, holding a backup candidate at offer stage to protect the timeline.
Agricultural software sells to two buyers at once: the grower or agronomist who uses it and the enterprise customer, such as a retailer, processor or input company, who pays for it. The commercial people who succeed understand both and can explain a data product in agronomic terms.
Generalist software recruiters bring enterprise sales discipline without the agronomy. Agricultural recruiters bring the agronomy without the software model. We map for people who have done both and assess for the gap when a candidate has only one.
Roles we place
- CEO, CTO and CPO
- Product Managers and Heads of Product
- Data Science and Analytics Leaders
- Enterprise Account Executives
- Customer Success and Implementation
- Digital Agronomists
The hiring challenge
What makes this market hard to hire in and how we solve it.
Software meets the farm
Every role needs to understand how growers and agribusinesses actually work, not just how software is built and sold.
How we solve it. We map talent from agronomy and equipment businesses as well as from software.
Adoption takes seasons
Farm software is bought and adopted season by season, so results take longer to prove than in other technology markets.
How we solve it. We assess candidates on what they delivered over several seasons, not one quarter.
Investors in the room
Many businesses are venture-backed, so every hire has to fit the funding stage and the board's expectations.
How we solve it. We agree the brief with founders and investors before the search begins.
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.

Questions
Common questions.
Do you recruit technology and data leaders as well as sales roles?
Yes. We recruit product, data science and technology leaders for agricultural software companies as well as the commercial and customer success teams.
Can you find people with both software and agronomy experience?
Yes. That overlap is exactly what we map for. Where it does not exist we tell you early and assess candidates on the side that is harder to teach.
Do you run multi-country searches?
Yes. We run software and data searches across the AMERICAS, EMEA and APAC Regions, including multi-country European roles.
Do you guarantee placements?
Yes. Every Retained Search and Priority Search placement carries our 12-month written guarantee: a free replacement search to the end of month three, 50% off the replacement fee to the end of month six and 25% off to the end of month twelve.
