Therapy Recruiter; PT​/OT​/SLP Permanent Placements

Hired First is a healthcare staffing company that places professionals across every part of healthcare, including therapy, nursing, allied health and locum tenens, in every care setting: hospitals, outpatient clinics, skilled nursing, home health, schools and community health centers. Our current focus and fastest-growing area is therapy:
Physical Therapists, PTAs, Occupational Therapists, COTAs and Speech-Language Pathologists. We run lean, move fast, and pay our recruiters a larger share of every deal than most agencies. Everything we do is built on H.I.T.:
Honesty, Integrity and Transparency.

You’ll be in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

We’re looking for an experienced therapy recruiter to source, screen and submit candidates to our open jobs. Hired First has active client contracts nationwide
, with some of the highest rates in California
. Our Account Managers bring the jobs, and you bring the talent.

This role is built for recruiters who want to run their own desk. Because our payouts are among the highest in the industry, we don’t provide recruiting resources. Independent recruiters are responsible for their own sourcing tools, job board access and databases. In return, you keep a much larger share of every placement you make.

• Source PT, PTA, OT, COTA and SLP candidates for travel, local contract and permanent roles
• Screen candidates for licensure, experience and fit, and gather credentialing documents
• Submit strong candidates quickly. Speed to submission wins deals here.
• Present pay packages, prepare candidates for interviews and support them through offer and start
• Keep candidate records current in our ATS

Permanent placements: 40% of the total client fee. Example: a $20,000 fee pays you $8,000.

Contract placements: 40% of the gross margin after burden costs. Example: $5,000 in gross margin pays you $2,000.

360 deals: Bring your own client and fill the role yourself, and you earn the full payout: 80% on perm and 60% on contract.

No earnings cap.

• Live client contracts, so you’re not starting from zero
• Access to our ATS
• A support team to back you up through submission, onboarding and start
• Hired First participates in all onboarding and credentialing costs, as well as any losses due to fall-off. Most agencies pass those on to you.
• Healthcare is our core, and we also support non-clinical verticals

We can’t accept everyone. We only partner with recruiters who have a proven track record, which keeps our client delivery at the highest standard and our payouts the highest they can be.

• 2+ years recruiting in therapy, allied health or healthcare staffing
• A record of placements you can speak to (volume, specialties, contract vs. perm)
• Your own recruiting resources, such as job board access, sourcing tools or a candidate network
• Working knowledge of therapy licensure, compact states and credentialing
• Self-driven and comfortable with commission-only income

Bonus: existing client relationships that could become 360 deals

Remote, independent contractor (1099), commission-only
