Founder and Recruiter, APT Recruiting

Molly Salinas is a licensed speech-language pathologist who has worked across telehealth, schools, skilled nursing, hospitals, outpatient care and travel assignments, and founded APT Recruiting to bring a clinician's eye to healthcare hiring.

APT Recruiting specializes in recruiting Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech-Language Pathologists, Audiologists, therapy assistants, and experienced therapy professionals for leadership roles. We also provide recruiting services for Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants. We work with skilled nursing facilities, private practices, outpatient clinics, telehealth organizations, home health agencies, schools, and other healthcare organizations nationwide.

Molly has recruited therapists for 3 years and works from Austin, Texas, placing clinicians in every state.

In Molly's words

As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I worked across telehealth, schools, skilled nursing, hospitals, outpatient care, and travel assignments, giving me firsthand insight into what clinicians need, and what too often goes wrong in healthcare hiring.
I started APT Recruiting to create a more personal, transparent approach to recruitment, connecting healthcare practices with exceptional clinicians based on more than just a résumé.
Today, I use my clinical experience and understanding of both sides of the hiring process to create lasting placements where the right clinician and the right practice can truly thrive.

How we work

What a clinician-run search looks like

The recruiting process most therapists and hiring managers have met is a keyword match and a phone screen. Ours starts from the setting.

We take the brief like a therapist would

Caseload, productivity expectation, documentation system, supervision, weekend rotation, pay. The questions a candidate will ask on the first call are the ones we ask the employer first.

We screen for the setting

An SLP built for a school caseload is not a SNF dysphagia hire, and an outpatient ortho PT is not an acute-care one. Every candidate is matched to the setting, not just the license.

We tell both sides the truth

If an offer sits below the market line, the employer hears it. If a job's productivity target is aggressive, the candidate hears it. Placements that last come from that.

Who we place

Rehab therapy and audiology first

Physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists and audiologists are the core of the desk, along with therapy assistants and the therapy leaders who run the department. We also recruit nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

Employers and therapists both start the same way: a short, confidential conversation.
