There are several companies that allow teams to apply. In Tech companies especially, teams are very valuable and it's only time that more companies start looking at teams together.

Stripe is one company that got a lot of press in 2016 for hiring teams: https://business.linkedin.com/talent-solutions/blog/recruiti....

Your model is definitely more common, but in no one does anything prevent teams to apply to companies and for companies to hire teams. From experience, I can tell you teams moving together happens more often than most think.

I agree with you. But the "good local people" often care more about their team. What happens when they want to change jobs? Something should exist for them to find opportunities together.

We have teams from all over and try to find the best for them. Our current focus is in San Francisco and Seattle, and are helping a handful of teams and companies throughout the U.S. and neighbors.

Thanks for pointing out that we’re already doing this at Elevator. I’m the CEO - AMA.

Without a doubt it is inherently difficult to hire a whole team. On top of that each team member may have different requirements, availabilities, etc.

Is it so bad that 7 of the 10 individuals from a team get an opportunity together? Referrals are a growing part of business, and who is to say that a whole team cannot eventually work at another company? You have a better chance applying as a team than anything else.

There are team hiring platforms out there, and at least there you can see what type of opportunities exist for you team. Worst case you say no.

great job!!
