Recruiting for Construction Companies
Construction owners shouldn't have to choose between running the business and finding the right people. Bosun is the flat fee recruiting partner built for contractors who can't afford to get it wrong.
Flat-fee recruiting
The reality of hiring in construction
You're posting on job boards, sorting through bad resumes, and squeezing interviews between site visits - all while trying to keep the job moving.
A missing PM or superintendent means schedule slips, supervision gaps and callbacks that eat margin.
A 20 to 25 percent fee on a salary the market sets for you is a cost you can't schedule around. A flat fee you can.
In construction a bad hire shows up in safety, quality and rework - and the whole crew feels it.

The Bosun process
You stay focused on the work. We run the search.
We learn your business, the role, and what success looks like 90 days in — not a generic job description.
We write the job description with you and headhunt directly — no job boards. Screening, vetting, reference and background checks, all handled.
You only see three vetted, interested, aligned candidates. No resume dumps.
Your Recruiting Manager coordinates interviews, manages negotiations, and follows up through the 90-day guarantee window.
Flat-fee recruiting
No percentages. No surprises. No retainers that vanish without a hire. Just real recruiting work, priced like a service — not a commission.
