Stripe just announced a cool new idea for hiring techies, designers and product people — they call it  “Bring Your Own Team” or BYOT.

Stripe’s blog post outlined the following steps for this group-apply approach:

  1. Any group of 2 to 5 people can apply as a team
  2. The group identifies which role they are applying for (even if it’s all for the same role)
  3. The group emails byot@stripe.com and includes CVs for each person
  4. The group includes a brief description of how they know each other, including links to any work they’ve done together
  5. The group goes through the stages of the interview process together
  6. If the group is invited for an on-site interview, the group all comes in together and ideally works on one problem together
  7. If an offer is made, it is made to the whole group at the same time
  8. The group is encouraged to accept or decline as a group, though the individuals are free to accept or decline individually

Comment below if you think this “Group-Apply” going to catch on.
