Headhunter for Chinese companies
Why Chinese companies choose Geração C3 to hire in Brazil and Latin America
More and more Chinese agribusiness companies, from crop protection and fertilizers to farm machinery, trading and agtech, are setting up operations in Brazil, Paraguay and across Latin America. The challenge that decides the success of that expansion is always the same: finding local professionals who know the market, the customers and the rules of the country, and who can work in sync with headquarters in China.
Geração C3 is an agribusiness recruitment and executive search firm. We actively headhunt the best Brazilian and Latin American talent, including people who are not looking for a job, and we assess every candidate on the cross-cultural side too: languages, reporting style and fit with the culture of a Chinese company.
From your first Country Manager to a full sales team, we deliver the shortlist in 15 days on average, with more than 70% accuracy on the first shortlist, so your company builds its Latin American team with speed, confidentiality and confidence.

The hiring challenge
In Latin America, one wrong key hire costs far more than you think
A new market leaves little room for trial and error. These are the problems Chinese companies face most often when building a team in Latin America, and the ones we solve every day.
Unfamiliar employment and pay rules
Employment relations and compensation structures in Brazil and its neighbors differ widely from China. Getting pay wrong hurts both hiring success and retention.
No local network
The best professionals are employed and don't read job ads. Without a local network, it is hard to reach them, and harder to convince them to join a company that just arrived.
Market windows don't wait
Plants, warehouses, product registrations and selling seasons all run on a schedule. Every day a key role stays open is a day of delayed revenue.
Market entry plans that must stay confidential
Plans for a new market often can't be made public. We approach candidates confidentially, protecting your business plan and your current team.
High early turnover
Cultural mismatch is a common cause of early turnover in new teams. We use DISC behavioral assessment to predict each candidate's fit with the role and the team before the offer.

FAQ
What Chinese companies ask us most
Do you only work with agribusiness companies?
We are 100% focused on the agribusiness chain: crop protection, fertilizers, seeds, farm machinery, biologicals, animal nutrition, grain trading and logistics, agtech and more. If your company sells products or services to agriculture, we are the right partner too.
In which countries do you recruit?
We are based in Brazil and work across Latin America, including Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Mexico. Our founders have management experience in Brazil, Latin America and the United States, and we can run searches in several countries at the same time.
Can you find candidates who speak Chinese?
Yes. We can make Mandarin a screening requirement and assess it during interviews. Because this profile is scarce, we will also suggest "English + local language" alternatives when the role allows, so language requirements don't slow the whole project down.
We don't have a local company registered yet. Can we start hiring?
Yes, you can start now. The talent market map and salary references can be done before the company is set up, helping HQ plan budget and structure. For the employing entity (local company or third-party employer), we recommend involving your legal and finance advisors in parallel.
How soon will we see candidates?
The shortlist arrives in 15 days on average, with more than 70% accuracy on the first shortlist. Instead of screening dozens of résumés, you choose among qualified finalists.
Is the search confidential?
Yes. Confidential search is one of our specialties. Whether it is preparation for market entry or the replacement of a key position, we keep the whole process confidential, protecting your strategy and your current team.
How are fees calculated?
Fees depend on the seniority of the role, the number of positions and the target countries. Send the form and we will contact you within 1 business day with a tailored proposal.
