About HireBus
HireBus helps US home service businesses—including painters, roofers, HVAC technicians, and cleaning companies—find, hire, and retain top talent. We take the pain out of recruiting so business owners can focus on growing their companies.
The Role
We are looking for a driven, persistent Outbound Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join our growth team. In this role, you will reach out directly to business owners who currently have open job postings. Your objective is straightforward: initiate conversations, identify their hiring challenges, and book a 30-minute discovery call with our team. If an owner isn't ready immediately, you’ll share our valuable free hiring resources and nurture the relationship until they are.
What You'll Do?
Conduct ~80 outbound calls per day using curated, qualified lead lists.
Schedule 30-minute discovery calls between prospective clients and our sales team.
Share hiring guides with prospects who aren't ready to book, maintaining consistent email and phone follow-ups.
Confirm scheduled appointments to ensure high attendance and show-up rates.
Accurately track all calls, notes, and pipeline stages in our CRM.
Who We're Looking For?
Experience: 1+ years of outbound calling experience (SDR, appointment setting, cold calling, or outbound call center sales).
Communication: Exceptional verbal and written English communication skills with a neutral, professional accent.
Resilience: Comfortable with cold outreach; persistent through objections without being pushy.
Proactivity: Self-directed and disciplined in managing high-touch follow-up cycles.
Tech Readiness: Reliable high-speed internet connection, quiet home office setup, and a quality noise-canceling headset.
Compensation & Commission:
Base Pay: $500/month
Appointment Bonus: $50 per completed discovery call
Closing Bonus: $100 – $200 per closed deal generated from your booked calls
Uncapped Earning Potential: Strong performers earn substantial commissions above their base pay.
What you'll bring
Requirements
• Fluent/advanced spoken English (C1 equivalent or higher).
• 1+ year track record in outbound calling, SDR work, or appointment setting.
• Full availability during US Eastern business hours (Mon–Fri, 9 AM – 6 PM ET).
• Reliable home setup: quiet workspace, stable connection, and a quality headset.
