Hunting Video Production Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

Job Type
Full-time
Description
Job Type: Full-Time (Monday - Thursday)
Base Pay: $16 - $19/hr + Uncapped Performance Bonuses
Job Summary:
Who We Are..
Bargain Lane is a local discount retail, online auction, and bargain bin store built on one simple idea:
unbeatable deals, every single day. With six stores across Indiana and Michigan, bargain bins where diggers
are rewarded, and online auctions where hunters bid and win from anywhere, our inventory is always moving,
always changing, and always a treasure hunt.
We don't do polished. We do real. We are fast-moving, hands-on, and built for people who love the grind of
making something work.
What We're Building..
Bargain Lane Live is our brand-new Whatnot channel, and we are launching it right now. We have a
continuous supply of inventory and a rock-solid plan to run live shows Monday through Thursday out of our
Fort Wayne warehouse.
This is a dedicated, full-time role anchoring our weekday operation. What we need is the right person on
camera: someone who can move product, command a room, and make a viewer feel like they're missing out if
they don't bid right now.
Please Note: This is not a content creator or influencer role. This is live selling-closer to QVC
than Instagram, closer to an auctioneer than a YouTuber. The energy is real, the pace is
relentless, and the results show up in the numbers every single show
The Job..
You will host live Whatnot shows alongside a show assistant who handles inventory flow behind the scenes.
Your job is to stay locked on camera for the full show-5 hours, 350+ items, non-stop auction cadence.
You will describe items fast, open bids, engage the chat by name, celebrate wins, and keep the energy from ever
flatlining.
This role runs Monday through Thursday at our Fort Wayne warehouse, 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM (Live
Show window). Four days a week, same location, same crew. You show up ready every time.
Requirements
What We're Looking For
? You can talk: Not just words-you can hold a room on camera for five hours without fading.
? You perform under pressure: Slow bids, dead chat, awkward silence-you lean in, not away. Energy
is a choice.
? You're a closer: You don't just describe items; you sell them. There's a difference, and you feel it
instinctively.
? You read a crowd fast: You know within 30 seconds what a live audience wants more of, and you
pivot without being told.
? Retail or customer-facing background: Cashier, server, sales floor, barista-if you've hustled for tips
or commissions, you already speak the language.
? You can take feedback: Every show has a debrief. You'll hear what didn't work. People who get
defensive don't last here; people who get better do.
One thing we are NOT looking for:
Prior Whatnot experience is not required-and frankly, we're cautious about hiring people who already run
their own resale channels. We'll train you on the platform. What we can't train is personality, pace, and the
instinct to close. Bring those. We'll handle the rest.
Compensation & Schedule
This is a full-time role from day one, offering a highly competitive base pay paired with an aggressive,
uncapped bonus structure.

How to Apply
Step 1: The Video Submission
Record a 2-minute video on your phone. Pick up any item near you-whatever is closest-and sell it to us.
? No editing.
? No retakes.
? No script.
? Just hit record and go.
That's the job. If you can make us want a random object from your living room, you can sell TJX apparel to 500
people watching live.
Send your video to: Brandon Georges at bgeorges@retjg.com
We will respond within 48 hours to every submission.
Step 2: The Audition
Shortlisted candidates will come in for a 10-minute live audition. You will be handed 6-8 random apparel items
and asked to go live on camera-cold, unrehearsed, right now. No prep time. No warm-up.
The gap between candidates at this stage is always obvious. That's the point. If it sounds like a lot of pressure,
it is-because the job is a lot of pressure, and we'd rather find out here than two shows in.
