Bosun Solutions · Straight answers

Recruiting questions, answered.

What a flat fee recruiter costs, how the process runs, how fast a role fills, and what the guarantee covers. No fluff, no fine print.

How does flat fee recruiting work?

Bosun runs every search full-cycle. We write or refine the job description with you, headhunt candidates through direct outreach (we do not post to job boards), screen, vet, and background-check every candidate, and deliver a shortlist of three pre-vetted people. We manage the process through to the offer and follow up through the 90-day guarantee window.

How much does a placement cost?

One flat $7,000 fee per hire, any role, any salary. There is no percentage of salary and no contingency fee, which is what most traditional recruiting agencies charge. Every placement is backed by a 90-day guarantee.

What does a fractional team member cost?

Fractional team members are pre-vetted, US-based professionals working part-time for your business, starting at as little as five hours a week. Fractional bookkeeping is typically 10 to 15 hours a month at $22 an hour; fractional social media management is around 10 hours a month at $22 an hour; fractional sales support works on a flat fee plus commission. You communicate with them directly day to day, and Bosun manages the relationship.

How fast can Bosun fill a role?

There is no fixed timeline, because it depends on the role, the market, and your interview availability. What speeds things up: the search starts immediately with direct outreach to people who are a fit, instead of waiting for a job board post to gain traction, and you see a curated shortlist rather than a pile of resumes.

Which industries does Bosun recruit for?

Construction and restoration, legal (law firms, attorneys, paralegals), and office and administrative roles are where we are strongest, and we recruit for small and mid-size businesses across industries. Current openings range from project managers and superintendents to paralegals, attorneys, and office staff.

Where does Bosun work?

Bosun Solutions is based in Tomball, Texas and serves businesses nationwide, with sourcing in all 50 states and a 100% US-based team.

How is Bosun different from a traditional recruiting agency?

Three differences. Price: a flat $7,000 fee instead of 20 to 25 percent of the salary. Method: active headhunting and direct outreach instead of posting and praying. Standard: a shortlist of three vetted candidates instead of a stack of resumes, with a 90-day guarantee behind the hire. Bosun is not a temp or contract staffing shop, and does not do temp-to-hire.

What is OnDeck Recruiting?

OnDeck is a monthly recruiting partnership for businesses that are hiring continuously. It is scoped to your hiring plan, so you pay for the recruiting capacity you actually need, with a partner who already knows your business, instead of paying agency fees for every single hire.

What is the 90-day guarantee?

Every placement is guaranteed for 90 days. If it does not work out for reasons within our control, we make it right.
