Sales Hunter: Built for Outbound Closers Who Love the Chase at Bosun

This is a hunter's role. Read carefully before applying.

We're not looking for someone who waits for leads to land in their inbox. We're looking for someone who picks up the phone, sends the email, shows up at the event, and builds a pipeline from scratch — every week, every month, every quarter.

If "outbound" makes you uncomfortable, this isn't your role. If it makes you smile, keep reading.

About Bosun

Bosun is a flat-fee recruiting firm built for small and mid-size business owners who can't compete with enterprise hiring budgets but still need great people. We charge a flat fee per hire — not a percentage of salary — and back every placement with a 90-day guarantee. Our clients are SMB founders, owner-operators, and growing teams who are tired of being upsold by traditional agencies.

That's who you'll be selling to. Real business owners. Direct conversations. No bureaucracy, no procurement gauntlet.

What you'll actually do

• Build and own your pipeline. We're not handing you a lead list and calling it a day.
• Run high-volume outbound — calls, emails, LinkedIn, in-person where it makes sense
• Have real conversations with SMB owners about their hiring pain
• Move deals from first touch to signed agreement
• Hit a baseline of 2–3 deals per month, with room to run well past that
• Partner closely with our recruiting team to make sure what you sell, we deliver

Who you are

• You've sold something hard before — and you've got the numbers to prove it
• You don't need a script to start a conversation
• You understand small business owners — their pressure, their priorities, their language
• You're comfortable hearing "no" 20 times before you hear "yes"
• You want a flat-fee story to sell because you've seen how percentage-based pricing burns small businesses
• You're self-directed. Nobody is going to micromanage your day, and you don't want them to.

Who you're not

• Someone who needs marketing to "warm up" every lead before you'll call
• Someone whose last role was 90% account management
• Someone looking for a salary-heavy safety net
• Someone who thinks "outbound" is beneath them

Compensation

Base salary plus uncapped commission. Top performers in this role have a clear path to six figures. We pay fast, we pay fair, and we don't play games with commission structures.

How to apply

Send a short note (no formal cover letter needed) telling us:

1. The hardest sale you've ever closed and how you did it
2. Your average outbound activity in a typical week at your last role
3. Why flat-fee recruiting makes sense to you

We read every one. If your note tells us you're a hunter, we'll talk.
