For employers
Physical therapy staffing, OT and SLP recruiting, on your terms.
Why a clinician-run firm
What changes when the recruiter has held the job
The screen is clinical, not clerical
A licensed SLP asks about dysphagia competencies, IEP caseloads, productivity expectations and weekend rotations because she has lived them. A license check is the start of our screen, not the end of it.
We work the market, not the applicant pile
Job boards deliver the therapists who are looking. We approach the ones who are not, in your market and across the country for hard seats, and confirm interest before you spend an interview slot.
Honest reads on pay and supply
Every state and metro page on this site carries the federal count of therapists, what they are paid and where they work. If your offer sits below the market line, we will say so before the search starts, not after it stalls.
Permanent first, contract when you need it
Primarily permanent full-time and part-time placements. When a client has an immediate need, APT Recruiting can also arrange a contract placement on a flat fee, including a short-term fill while a permanent search is underway.

Questions hiring managers and directors of rehab ask us
How does a therapy search with APT Recruiting work?+
It starts with a short call to take the brief: the discipline, the setting, the caseload and productivity expectations, the schedule and the pay range. Because APT is run by a licensed speech-language pathologist, the screen covers clinical fit, not just a license check. We then work your market for PTs, OTs, SLPs or audiologists who match, confirm interest, and send you candidates who have already said yes to a conversation about your organization. Clients typically receive the first vetted candidates within one to two weeks of providing the recruiting brief and search requirements.
Do you work on contingency or retained?+
Contingency recruiting. There is no fee unless a successful placement is made.
What does it cost to hire through a therapy recruiter?+
Agreed in writing before you see a candidate's details. Every direct-hire placement carries a 90-day replacement guarantee. If the candidate resigns or is terminated for cause during the first ninety calendar days of employment, APT Recruiting immediately begins a one-time search for a replacement in the same position, at no additional charge.
Which roles and settings do you cover?+
Physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists and audiologists, including PTAs, COTAs and SLPAs, plus directors of rehab and other therapy leadership. Settings include hospitals and acute rehab, skilled nursing, home health, outpatient clinics, schools and pediatrics, and telehealth. We also recruit nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
