Questions about Focused Staffing Group.
What is Focused Staffing Group?
Focused Staffing Group, LLC is a staffing company headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania, founded by former K-12 teacher Robert Flom. It runs two divisions: FocusedEDU for K-12 education staffing and Focused Behavioral for behavioral health staffing.
Does Focused Staffing Group provide substitute teachers?
Yes. Through its FocusedEDU division, Focused Staffing Group places substitute teachers, special education teachers, and paraprofessionals with K-12 public school districts and charter schools. At Odyssey Charter School in Wilmington, Delaware, FocusedEDU reached a 95% day-to-day substitute fill rate.
Is Focused Staffing Group a behavioral health staffing agency?
Yes. Its Focused Behavioral division places BCBAs, RBTs, direct support professionals, group home staff, and nurses for ABA, IDD, residential, and community behavioral health providers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey statewide, plus Delaware, Maryland, Washington DC, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia.
Which behavioral-health roles do you staff?
Focused Behavioral recruits BCBAs, RBTs, behavior technicians, direct support professionals, nursing, and care-support staff for ABA, IDD, residential, and community programs. Share the role, setting, and location to discuss your opening.
What happens after we contact you?
We clarify the opening, schedule, qualifications, and engagement model. After agreeing on requirements and terms, we recruit and screen candidates, coordinate interviews, and work with your team on onboarding.
How fast can you fill a role?
Because our candidates are pre-vetted and credentialing is automated, many roles are filled in a fraction of the typical time. On a discovery call we'll give you a realistic timeline for your specific need.
Do you handle credentialing and compliance?
Yes. Automated credentialing, background checks, and documentation are handled before a candidate ever reaches you, so every professional we present is ready to work.
Will you also staff my competitors?
No. Once we're staffing your organization, we won't take on a directly competing provider in your area — the talent pipeline we build is exclusively yours, never shared with a rival down the road. It's our strongest commitment to you.
How does pricing work?
Engagements are billed simply — typically a markup on contract placements or a flat fee on direct hires, depending on the role. There are no surprises, and temp-to-hire conversions come at no additional cost.
What if a placement isn't the right fit?
Our temp-to-hire model lets you evaluate a professional on the job before committing — at no cost to your organization. If someone isn't right, we make it right.
Staffing is our work. Communities are our why.
Filling a role is only part of the story. Through our school-supply and backpack donation drives, Focused Staffing Group shows up for the schools and special-education programs we serve — like The Delta School in Philadelphia and Merakey Education Programs across Pennsylvania — so more kids start the year with the tools they need.
