We find the best candidates on the market so you can decide with confidence

Agribusiness recruitment does not work like recruitment in any other sector. Agribusiness has its own language, its own crop cycles and a highly competitive talent market where the best professionals are almost never looking for a job. That is why Geração C3 exists: to find the best candidates available on the market so you can make the right hiring decision for leadership roles, R&D and sales.

  • 100% specialized in agribusiness, not a generalist firm that "also covers" agriculture.
  • Proprietary talent pool + AI, active sourcing technology built for the sector.
  • We reach passive candidates, professionals no job posting will ever reach.

We are 100% specialized in agribusiness, with a team that has worked inside the industry, a proprietary talent pool built over years and active sourcing technology developed specifically for agribusiness. This combination lets us map, approach and assess professionals a job posting would never reach, including those who are employed, performing well and happy where they are.

From Brazil to the rest of Latin America, we have helped more than 170 companies across the value chain (farm inputs, machinery, agro-industry, agrochemicals, crop protection, biologicals, cooperatives and farm services) hire the right people for director, manager, R&D and sales positions. That includes multinational and foreign companies building their teams in Brazil. With more than 70% accuracy on the first shortlist and delivery in 15 days on average, we turn hiring from an expensive risk into an informed, confident decision.

    How it works

    The recruitment process, step by step

    Full transparency at every stage: you know exactly what happens from the first briefing to hiring the ideal candidate.

    01

    Client alignment

    Everything starts with a deep dive into your challenge: we learn about the role, the business goals, the company culture and the ideal technical and behavioral profile. This initial alignment sets the search map and avoids rework later on.

    02

    Market mapping

    We map the agribusiness market in full: companies, competitors, regions and the professionals who stand out in each function. This is where we identify target talent, including people who are currently employed and satisfied.

    03

    Active sourcing (headhunting)

    We proactively go after the best. We combine direct headhunting, our proprietary talent pool and AI-powered technology to approach qualified candidates no job ad would reach, with full confidentiality when the search requires it.

    04

    Interviews and assessment

    We assess each candidate in technical and behavioral depth, validating experience, track record, motivations and fit with your company culture. Only candidates who truly make sense for the position move forward.

    05

    DISC behavioral screening

    We apply the DISC methodology to finalists to understand how each person tends to act, communicate and make decisions. It is an extra layer of confidence in predicting how the candidate will fit the team and the challenge.

    06

    Shortlist delivery

    You receive a concise shortlist of the best options on the market, each with a complete candidate report. Instead of screening dozens of resumes, you choose among qualified finalists, with accuracy above 70%.

    Roles and functions

    Recruiting for the positions that drive your business

    We handle the most strategic and hardest-to-fill hires in agribusiness, the ones where a mistake is expensive and slow to fix.

    Leadership and executive roles

    Directors, managers and supervisors. High-impact positions where the right choice defines the results of an entire season, handled with confidentiality and rigor.

    Research & Development (R&D)

    Researchers, agronomists, technical specialists and innovation teams. Rare, highly specialized profiles that require a partner who understands science applied to the field.

    Sales and market development

    Account executives, sales managers, technical sales representatives and business development. Professionals who combine relationships in the field with results on the bottom line.

    We serve the entire agribusiness value chain: farm inputs, agricultural machinery, agro-industry, agrochemicals, animal health and ag pharma, crop protection, biologicals, cooperatives, seeds, fertilizers, animal nutrition and service companies for the sector. If your search is confidential, complex, long open or part of a high-volume hiring push, that is exactly where Geração C3 adds the most value.

    What is active sourcing (headhunting) and why does it find better candidates?
    Active sourcing means proactively approaching the right professionals instead of waiting for applications.

We cover the entire value chain: farm inputs, machinery, agro-industry, agrochemicals, crop protection, biologicals, cooperatives and services, in Brazil and Latin America.
    How long does it take to receive a candidate shortlist?
    15 days on average to deliver the shortlist of finalists, thanks to active sourcing and our own talent pool. Because the list arrives with more than 70% accuracy, you choose among qualified finalists instead of screening dozens of resumes.
    What is DISC behavioral screening?
