AgroSkills

What AgroSkills does

AgroSkills is a Brazilian agribusiness-focused human capital company headquartered in Goiânia, Goiás, founded approximately in 2010 by two female executives, Carol and Samantha, with extensive prior experience in the agricultural sector. The company serves three primary user segments — agricultural companies, agricultural professionals, and educational institutions — through a dual model that combines specialized consulting services and a proprietary technology platform branded as the "AgroSkills Platform." Its service portfolio includes executive search and recruitment (with a stated 79% assertiveness rate), leadership development programs (positioned as the "1st behavioral school in agribusiness"), outplacement services, and a structured talent bank of 29,000+ candidates. Distribution runs through direct enterprise sales for recruitment engagements and a self-serve platform offering behavioral assessments (DISC), AI-powered candidate screening, automated candidate reports, video interview capture with structured questions, and career development tools, plus white-label deployments for educational institutions.

The underlying technology stack is a multi-sided platform integrating DISC behavioral mapping, AI-assisted screening and report generation, and video interview tooling to connect candidates, companies, and academic institutions in a single ecosystem. Named enterprise customers span major agribusiness sub-sectors — agrochemicals (Bayer CropScience, Syngenta), fertilizers (Unifertil), bioenergy (AVA Bioenergia), animal nutrition (Indukern), and farming operations (Fazenda Boa Vista, Agropecuária São Francisco, Terras Gerais) — alongside institutional partners including SENAI and FAEG. The business operates entirely within Brazil with no disclosed funding, parent company, or institutional investment; ownership remains with the founding team. Revenue mechanics blend project-based professional services fees (recruitment, training, outplacement) with recurring platform subscriptions, though pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has been recognized as a TOP 100 Startup in Brazil and maintains earned-media presence across rural television outlets (SBT, Canal Rural, Band, TV Anhanguera).
