ABA & behavioral health
Specialized ABA recruiting
Find qualified behavioral-health professionals without relying solely on inbound applicants.
ABA hiring is its own discipline. Certification requirements narrow the pool before geography narrows it again, and the clinicians you want are usually employed, not applying.
Staffly runs ABA searches as targeted outreach campaigns: we map the certified population in your markets, approach clinicians directly, and screen for supervision capacity and caseload fit — not just a credential on a resume.
Why ABA hiring is difficult
- Certification and supervision requirements
- Geographic constraints on in-home and clinic caseloads

ABA roles we recruit
Staffly is an ABA staffing agency built around board certification. Every search starts from the certified population in your markets rather than an advert, which is why we can tell you at kickoff whether a role is fillable at your current compensation band.
- Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) — clinic, in-home, school and telehealth caseloads
- Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) — supervised caseloads
- Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and Behavior Technician (BT) — high-volume, center and in-home
- ABA Clinical Director — multi-site clinical oversight and supervision capacity
- Regional Clinical Director — multi-market clinical leadership
- Center Director and ABA operations leadership
- BCBA Supervisor and Assistant Clinical Director
Settings we staff
ABA hiring is setting-specific: a clinician who thrives on a center-based caseload is not automatically the right hire for in-home work across a fifty-mile radius. We screen for setting fit, drive time and supervision load, not just the credential.
- Center-based and clinic ABA programs
- In-home and community-based services
- School-district and school-partnered programs
- Telehealth and hybrid supervision models
- Early intervention and early-start programs
- Adolescent and adult services
Why ABA providers use a specialist agency
Generalist agencies treat BCBA like any other job title. The result is a shortlist of uncertified applicants and a role that stays open for a quarter. A specialist ABA recruiter already knows what a 10-client caseload implies, why a BCBA will decline a role with unclear supervision ratios, and which markets are genuinely saturated.
- Certification-first screening — BACB status verified before you see a resume
- Caseload, supervision-ratio and drive-time fit assessed on the screening call
- Compensation benchmarked market by market, not company-wide
- Geographic talent mapping before you commit to a new clinic or lease
- Support for multi-site and multi-state expansion hiring
- Volume RBT hiring through our Containership model
How fast can you fill a BCBA role?
Typically 1 week to 45 days depending on certification density in the market, the caseload, and how competitive your compensation is against local employers. We commit to a realistic shortlist window at kickoff and report progress as the search runs — including when the honest answer is that the market will not deliver at your current band.
