Physical Therapists.
Physical Therapist direct-hire across outpatient, home health, hospital, and SNF settings. A persistent-demand specialty with growing operator-side urgency.
Why this niche, why now.
Physical Therapy hiring has shifted from a steady-state placement to an urgent operator priority. Outpatient PT clinics, home-health agencies, and SNF operators are losing patient volume because they can’t staff the visits. The candidate pool is regulated, geographically constrained, and getting more expensive.
We run PT engagements at the staff level (volume direct-hire), at the lead level (Clinic Directors, PT Supervisors), and at the operations level (Multi-Clinic Directors, VP of Therapy Services).
