Crop Protection recruitment and search.

Chaseman Global is a specialist search firm for crop protection and crop input companies. We appoint commercial executives, country and general managers, regulatory heads, portfolio leaders and key account teams for originators, post-patent manufacturers, nutrition specialists and the distribution channel.

Our view of the market

Crop Protection and Crop Inputs

Crop protection talent is concentrated, visible and contractually protected. The credible population for a single-country key account or a global regulatory head is measured in dozens, not hundreds and nearly all of it works for a direct competitor. That means advertising rarely works. Mapping and confidential, named approaches do. As a CPDA member since 2022 and a CPDA Platinum Partner in 2023, we sit in the room with the post-patent, adjuvant and crop nutrition leaders who make up much of that population.

Roles we place

  • VP Commercial and C-suite
  • Country and General Managers
  • Heads of Sales and Key Account Managers
  • Portfolio and Product Managers
  • Global and Regional Regulatory Leads
  • Registration and Asset Management
  • Market Development and Technical Service

Who we work with

Originators, post-patent manufacturers, formulators, crop nutrition and specialty input companies and the distribution channel that takes their products to growers. Our clients range from global majors to family-owned manufacturers and investor-backed challengers.

Where the market is heading

Consolidation in distribution, the growth of biologicals alongside conventional chemistry and rising regulatory cost are changing what crop protection companies need. Commercial leaders now have to sell integrated programs, not single products. Regulatory teams have to defend portfolios that were registered decades ago.

How we run a crop protection search

We build a target universe of every competitor, distributor and adjacent business that employs the profile, review it with you and then approach named individuals confidentially. You see every candidate and every piece of feedback in a live portal.

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.
