Our positioning
We hire like co-founders,
not vendors.
A recruitment vendor sells you a transaction. We take on the problem a co-founder would own — building the team that decides whether the company works. Same six moments in every search; two completely different businesses.
- Receives a job descriptionStarts with your business objective, stage and runway
- Matches résumés against keywordsMaps the market and tells you who exists, where, and what they cost
- Fills roles in the order they're raisedSequences hires so each one compounds the last
- Optimises for placement volumeOptimises for the team still being there a year later
- Hands over CVs and waitsSits in your standups, carries your employer brand
- Disappears once the offer is signedStays through onboarding, retention and your next round
“Founders — if you win, we win.” It's why we take equity-stage risk on relationships, not per-CV fees.
Build My Team→Why Build My Team exists
India needs stronger teams.
India is now the world's third-largest startup ecosystem, with over 2,07,000+ DPIIT-recognised startups — and growth is no longer limited to the metros. Jaipur, Kochi, Indore, Surat and Bhubaneswar are producing founders and operators at scale.
But startups don't fail because of bad ideas. They fail because they struggle to build the right team at the right time. Build My Team was created to solve exactly this problem — so founders can focus on product, customers, growth and vision.
“Founders — if you win, we win.”

How we work
From vision to team building.
The Deep-Dive Hiring Framework — five stages, each with something you actually receive. Consultative, not transactional.
Founder Discovery
Week 1We start with the business, not the job description.
Vision, culture, funding stage, runway and growth plans — plus the honest conversation about which roles you actually need first.
You receiveHiring brief & role scorecards
Talent Mapping
Week 1–2We tell you who exists, where, and what they cost.
Talent pools, competitor teams and hiring gaps mapped across metros and Tier-2 markets — before a single conversation starts.
You receiveTalent map & compensation benchmark
Strategic Evaluation
Week 2–3We assess for ownership, not just keywords.
Structured evaluation of skill, startup fit and ownership mindset. You see a calibrated shortlist, not a stream of résumés.
You receiveCalibrated shortlist with evaluation notes
Hiring & Engagement
Week 3–5We stay in the room until it's signed.
Offer strategy, negotiation intelligence, counter-offer management and notice-period support — the stage where most searches quietly fail.
You receiveSigned offer & onboarding plan
Scale Support
OngoingWe stay after the offer is closed.
Retention check-ins through the first year, engagement diagnostics, and the next quarter's hiring roadmap as the company grows.
You receiveQuarterly hiring roadmap
Every engagement starts with a conversation about the business, not a rate card.

Testimonials
Trusted by the founders we build with.
They didn't send us résumés. They sent us a talent-market map, then the three people on it we actually needed. That's a different business.
Our first 20 hires were built with BMT embedded in our standups. It felt like having a talent co-founder without giving up equity.
Leadership shortlist in two weeks, offer accepted in four. Our board asked who we used.
