We are looking for a Recruiter Specialist to join the team of a growing U.S.-based ABA Therapy company operating across multiple states, with plans for further expansion.

As a Recruiter Specialist, you will be responsible for managing the recruitment process from initial candidate engagement through to hiring. You’ll primarily recruit Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), with the opportunity to eventually expand into recruiting Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs).

This role is ideal for someone who is confident on the phone, naturally personable, and able to quickly build rapport while assessing whether a candidate is the right fit.

• Work closely with the client’s leadership team throughout the recruitment process.
• Recruit RBTs initially, with the potential to take on BCBA recruitment as the business grows.
