Intro
How we helped Letsgrow expand their commercial team
Letsgrow has been helping farmers and growers make the most of their crops for over 20 years. Founded in 2001 with support from Wageningen University & Research, the company started by offering growers access to powerful crop models through the internet—a cutting-edge idea at the time. Over the years, Letsgrow has become a global leader in gathering, visualising, and analysing crop data, helping growers around the world improve their farming practices. Driven by the goal of ensuring high-quality food for a growing population, Letsgrow moved beyond simple crop comparison to focus on optimising cultivation with advanced data analytics. As more greenhouses are being built to meet increasing food demand, Letsgrow helps growers work more efficiently and sustainably, making modern farming scalable and predictable.

The challenge
Understanding unique culture and values
Before partnering with us, Letsgrow struggled with recruiting experienced professionals in the SaaS and tech sectors. Attracting top talent was difficult, especially given the company's location, which limited the pool to candidates willing to relocate. They were initially hesitant to seek external support, concerned that an outside agency might not fully grasp their unique culture and values. Cost efficiency and the effectiveness of outsourcing their hiring process were also major concerns.

Our approach
We set up a team of highly experienced recruitment consultants, each with extensive expertise in SaaS recruitment for commercial roles. To ensure complete alignment, we started with a comprehensive onboarding process, including an audit meeting and a playback of our strategy.
This helped us fully understand Letsgrow’s criteria, culture, values and hiring process. With this foundation in place, we quickly activated our network and introduced well-matched candidates within days. Our thorough screening process ensured candidates were not only qualified but also a great cultural fit. Throughout the hiring process, we collaborated closely with Letsgrow, maintaining efficiency, quick feedback loops, and full transparency.

"Initially, we had some doubts about whether an external company would fully grasp our culture and values, and we worried it might be an expensive way to handle recruitment. However, RocketX’s experience and network made all the difference. When we were hiring for an Account Executive, we found ourselves choosing between only top-tier candidates, all of whom were not just talented but also the perfect fit for our needs. The screening and selection process was exceptional—something we had struggled with when handling recruitment internally. We had difficulty finding and attracting the right talent, but that changed instantly once RocketX came on board. I’d highly recommend working with RocketX. Their clear step-by-step process, transparent communication, and ability to translate our needs and values into a successful recruitment strategy were spot on. The time to impact was incredibly short, and now we’re asking ourselves why we didn’t reach out to them sooner."
