Building Team Solutions

What Building Team Solutions does

Building Team Solutions, Inc. is a Texas-based staffing and recruiting firm that places temporary, permanent, traveling-crew, and executive candidates for the commercial construction, industrial, manufacturing, facility management, and oil-and-gas sectors. Service delivery is built around two core revenue lines — temporary staffing and permanent placement (direct hire) — supplemented by project-based recruitment, mid-level recruitment, executive search, traveling-crew staffing, and a one-on-one consulting practice. Clients range from regional construction contractors (e.g., JE Dunn Construction, Falcon Structures, White Construction, Warden Construction) to larger industrial employers (e.g., Martin Marietta) and specialty operators (iFly, Fox Service Company, Anchor-Ventana Glass). The underlying technology stack is a third-party applicant tracking platform (OnTempWorks) wrapped with a proprietary competency-based recruiting methodology; there is no proprietary AI or ML layer, no patents, and no public integrations beyond a standard job board and web forms.

Commercially, the firm operates a sales-led, direct-hire model through two offices (Austin, opened as headquarters, and Dallas, opened September 2016) and a nationwide direct-hire line, with all services priced custom on a quote basis. Revenue streams are fee-based: temporary staffing margins on bill rates, percentage-of-salary fees on permanent placements, and project or retainer fees on consulting and executive search. The go-to-market is relationship-driven, relying on referrals, industry association memberships (Texas Association of Staffing, American Staffing Association), and a values-led brand positioning the firm as a Christian, servant-leadership organization that donates 10% of pretax profit to nonprofit partners.

The firm is privately held, woman-owned (WBENC-certified, also Texas HUB and DBE), recognized by ASA as a top temporary staffing firm (2016, 2017) and a top contingency executive search firm (2018), and runs a small headcount of 11–50 employees drawn from a management team with 40+ years of combined staffing experience. There is no disclosed outside funding, and the founder/CMO Britanie Olvera remains the central operating figure.
