About Us

AARTD is a specialized executive search firm that concentrates on proactively sourcing middle and senior management and executives across Asia in the Agribusiness supply chain.

We have offices in Beijing, Ho Chi Minh City and now Bangkok. We travel extensively across Asia to meet clients and candidates face-to-face and be “on the ground” at important industry events.

AARTD’s executive search consultants all live and work in Asia. All our consultants understand agribusiness, because they work in an agriculture environment and this is helpful and saves a lot of time and energy, having to explain what are sometimes complex roles.

Our Advantage

We are 100% focused on agriculture, it is our passion and the core of our company. We were established in 2007 and our focus and the skills of our Team are our advantage.

We understand the livestock, animal health & nutrition supply chains very well, we are abreast of current trends, industry movements and the impact the changing industry structures will have on the talent market. As a result, we can present your role as the best choice for our candidate’s next career move, reducing search times.
We have an extensive well maintained network allowing us to introduce roles thoughtfully to the right candidates at the right time in their career ensuring the move and the timing is right, resulting in quality candidates.
We undertake a thorough screen, interview and review process that ensures that we have the right candidate, for the right job in the right company. We believe this reduces the need to re-start any searches and will increase retention.
Lastly, we love what we do, we are passionate, and we like to think of partnerships as long term and win:win!
