Temp-to-perm

Direct hire

Good to know

Before you start a search.

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.

Tell us which role is holding your team back.

Discuss your requirements, ask questions, and agree on a practical next step.
