Kaptas Global Executive Mapping is a standalone market-intelligence engagement that gives a U.S. or international company a complete picture of the leadership talent available for a specific role in Brazil or Latin America before committing to a search. Each engagement maps 20 to 30 real qualified professionals for the target position and delivers a structured report covering competitor compensation analysis (salary, bonuses, equity, benefits), team structures and reporting lines at competitor companies, salary and benefits benchmarks built from active sourcing data, a ranked shortlist of the strongest candidates, a hiring-landscape overview with candidate concentration by geography and realistic timelines, and a hiring-model recommendation across PJ, CLT, and EOR. Delivery is 10 to 15 business days from intro call — substantially faster than a traditional executive search, which typically runs three to six months. The mapping is a one-time, fixed-scope project; the report and all underlying data belong to the client. After delivery, the client can activate a placement search through Kaptas Global, run an in-house process using the mapping shortlist, or hold the intelligence for a future hire or board presentation. There is no lock-in, no contingency fee tied to a future hire, and no obligation to continue with Kaptas Global. The service is designed for companies hiring CTOs, country managers, VPs, directors, and other senior leadership roles, especially when the cost of a wrong executive hire — typically more than 200% of the role's annual compensation — makes blind search untenable. Executive Mapping also covers Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile for regional or pan-Latin American leadership searches. Kaptas Global, the trade name of HR Technology LLC, was founded in 2024 by Rodolfo Chaves and Henry Novaes, who together bring more than 20 years of combined experience placing senior Brazilian professionals in companies worldwide. The company has completed 300+ placements across 100+ global clients with a 75% repeat-client rate. Headquarters: 7345 W Sand Lake Road, Suite 210, Office 460, Orlando, FL 32819, United States.
