Why we exist
Behavioral health hiring fails on detail. A BCBA vacancy that lists no caseload cap, an RBT role that quietly means part-time hours, a school SLP search that starts in August: these are not market problems, they are scoping problems. Take a Seat People recruit against the specifics that decide whether a clinician says yes and whether they are still there a year later.
What we recruit
Behavioral health across the US, from direct delivery through to clinical leadership. We do not run a therapy marketplace and we do not place patients: our clients are the providers, clinics, school districts and community organizations doing the hiring.
| Discipline group | Roles |
|---|---|
| ABA and autism services | BCBA, BCaBA, RBT and behavior technician roles across center, home and school programs. |
| Speech and allied therapies | SLP, SLPA, OT, COTA and PT roles in schools, pediatric clinics and rehab. |
| Mental health and counseling | LCSW, LMFT, LPC/LMHC, psychologists and substance use counselors. |
| Prescribers | PMHNPs and psychiatrists across outpatient, telepsychiatry and inpatient care. |
| Clinical leadership | Clinical directors and multi-site leaders who own quality and outcomes. |
| Care and support roles | Case managers and direct support professionals across community and IDD services. |
Ranges reflect what we typically see advertised on roles we recruit for in the US. They are a market guide, not a survey, and vary by setting, caseload and experience.

How we work
Step 1 · Employers
Scope the role properly
Discipline, state, caseload cap, supervision model, setting split and pay band. Most roles that sit open were never scoped this far.
Step 2 · Employers
Publish it where it is findable
Every role gets a crawlable page with structured job data, so it appears in job search results instead of only in an inbox.
Step 3 · Candidates
Match on the specifics
We approach clinicians whose credential, license state and stated preferences actually fit. Nothing is sent anywhere without your say-so.
Step 4 · Both
Verify, shortlist, decide
Credential and licensure verification, a shortlist with real availability, and interview logistics handled around clinical schedules.
Step 5 · Both
Support the start
Licensure timelines built into the start date, and 30, 60 and 90 day retention check-ins after the clinician begins.
What we hold ourselves to
Behavioral health only
We do not recruit outside behavioral health. Every recruiter here can hold a conversation about supervision ratios, authorization pressure and caseload caps, because that is what the job turns on.
Pay published on every role
Roles we publish carry a pay band, the setting and the caseload expectation. Clinicians who are already employed do not apply to ambiguity, and hiding the band mostly filters out the people you wanted.
Credentials verified before shortlist
Certification status, state license and compact eligibility are checked before a resume reaches a hiring manager, not after an offer has been made.
Honest market feedback
If a package will not land in that state, we say so before the search starts rather than sending candidates who were never going to accept it.
Where we cover
All 50 states, with detailed licensure and market context published for the 50 states where we recruit most often. Licensure rules, compact participation and metro-level demand sit on the state pages so nobody has to take a recruiter's word for it.
