Settings
We know what the job looks like in each setting.
How it works
Three steps from open seat to signed offer.
1
A clinician takes the brief
Discipline, setting, caseload, productivity, schedule, pay. Molly is a licensed speech-language pathologist, so the questions are the ones a therapist would ask before saying yes.
2
We work the whole market
Not the applicants who happened to see your posting. We approach the PTs, OTs, SLPs and audiologists who match, in your market and, for hard seats, across the country.
3
You meet people who already said yes
Every candidate you see has been screened for the setting and has agreed to a conversation about your organization. Interviews, feedback and the offer are handled from there.

Results
What clients and placed therapists say
“Molly was so helpful in finding me a PT! She kept me up to date on her progress, sent weekly updates, and made sure that my expectations were communicated to each and every candidate!”
“Molly spent a lot of times speaking to me so she could be really clear on the type of SLP we were looking for. She also spent a lot of time speaking to candidates to find a right fit. She found an incredible SLP to add to our team and she is a great match. Molly has great customer service, she's easy to contact, and she really cares about finding the best fit. As a speech language pathologist herself, she really sees the importance of matching the right candidate for the job so that everyone can fulfilled in their work. I highly recommend her.”
“I would highly recommend Molly as a recruiter! She did a fantastic job walking me through each step of the recruitment process as I explored the possibilty of working at my current company. And I'm so glad she did -- I have been thrilled with my experience working with the company so far and I can thank Molly for that! Her diligence making sure I was supported throughout each step of the interview/pre-boarding process was unmatched. Thank you for all you do, Molly. Your hard work does not go unnoticed!”

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.

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.
