Think & Grow has a demonstrated track record of impactful achievements. These include assisting a global streaming service in surpassing 150% of its annual sales target in a single quarter, contributing over $1 million to a cloud-based SaaS platform's US pipeline, and securing private equity investment for a global eCommerce company. They have also successfully grown a SaaS company's revenue from $28 million to $60 million through GTM execution and facilitated a payments SaaS company's growth to $350 million leading to a private equity exit. Their commitment extends to building strong leadership teams, evidenced by placing a Head of Engineer who subsequently hired over 300 engineers. [3, 18]

Leadership at Think & Grow is spearheaded by its co-founders, Anthony Sochan and Jonathan Jeffries, who share a passion for the intersection of technology and entrepreneurship, believing that exceptional people are fundamental to successful companies. They launched the firm out of a shared frustration with the transactional nature of traditional talent acquisition, aspiring to make talent a catalyst for business growth and performance. The company’s values of being good humans, connected, curious, and impactful guide their operations and client engagements, fostering a collaborative environment that prioritises culture and connection.
