Recruiter (Independent Contractor)

Bosun•Houston, TX

8d•Remote

About The Position

Bosun is a boutique recruiting and staffing firm focused on connecting construction and skilled trades companies with top talent. We specialize in direct hire placements for clients in restoration, mitigation, and construction. We are a small, intentional team built by women who left corporate America to do meaningful work on their own terms. We are high-achieving and results-driven, and we also believe deeply in balance. This isn't a race to build the biggest firm - it's about building a sustainable business that we enjoy running, serving clients we believe in, and creating space for both career and family. We run lean and operate smart. We use AI tools, clear processes, and good judgment to stay efficient and we expect everyone on our team to do the same. We are looking for a part-time Recruiter (Independent Contractor) who can hit the ground running, manage their own workload without daily direction, and build genuine relationships with both clients and candidates. This role starts at approximately 5 hours per week and grows as you demonstrate the ability to take on more. It is not a role for someone who needs to be told what to do next. It is a role for someone who looks at the situation, figures out what needs to happen, and does it - then tells you what they did. You will manage the full recruiting cycle on behalf of our clients, from the initial discovery call through candidate placement, working within our defined systems (HubSpot, Breezy HR, Zoom, AI) while bringing your own initiative, judgment, and relationship skills to every interaction.

Requirements

Self-directed and proactive - you figure out what needs to happen and do it. You don't wait to be told, and you don't ask questions you could answer by looking things up yourself.
Relational and genuine - clients and candidates should feel like they matter to you, because they do. You build trust quickly and maintain it consistently.
Tech-savvy and AI-forward - you are comfortable with CRM and ATS platforms, embrace AI tools as a core part of how you work, and are always looking for a smarter, faster way to do things.
Detail-oriented - pipelines are current, emails go out on time, nothing falls through the cracks (but also, you’re human and we understand that).
Experienced - background in recruiting, account management, or high-touch client service.
Coachable - you receive feedback well, adapt quickly, and take ownership when something doesn't go right.
