Recruitment for startups. Built by founders, for founders.
Built Different was founded after years in recruitment, watching early-stage teams get boxed into rigid terms and generic service. Big fees, inflexible payment schedules, short guarantee windows, and a process that looked fine on paper but created unnecessary risk in practice.
Startups are not corporates. Their hiring should not be either.
Built Different exists to give founders a better option: premium search and delivery, with the flexibility to manage budget and cashflow properly - and the security to hire with confidence. That means tailored engagement options, sensible payment structures, and longer guarantee and rebate cover.
We work closely with Seed to Series B teams as an extension of the founding team, helping you make fewer, better hiring decisions at the moments that matter most.
No CV volume. No noise. Just founder-first hiring, done properly.
