Recruiter (RBT & BCBA)

Recruiter (RBT & BCBA)

Remote – Full-Time

About Tellos

In autism care, too many companies get it wrong - burnout, bureaucracy, and broken promises.

At Tellos, we’re flipping the script.

We help BCBAs start and run their own independent ABA practices, and we support RBTs with fair pay, respect, and real backup when things get hard. Families trust us with their kids. Providers trust us with their careers. We take both seriously.

Recruiting is not a back-office function here. It’s how fast a child gets therapy. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a recruiter who actually knows ABA - especially what makes a great RBT and a high-caliber BCBA. A recruiter is the first real taste a candidate gets of who we are. When they show up as human - warm, clear, prepared - it tells the candidate everything they need to know about the culture they’re stepping into. Someone who understands that every hire is more than filling a schedule; it’s building a practice a therapist can be proud of and a family can rely on.

If you want to run a high-output recruiting machine, own your lane, and sleep at night knowing you helped real kids start services - not just hit “reqs filled” - keep reading.

What You’ll Own

You won’t be “helping HR.” You will own outcomes in these areas:

1. End-to-End RBT & BCBA Recruiting

• Own the full cycle for RBTs: job posting → sourcing → screening → offer

• Partner with clinical leadership to keep a steady pipeline of BCBAs in our core and expansion states

• Use LinkedIn, referrals, and high-touch outreach to engage experienced, high-quality BCBAs - not just whoever clicks “Apply”

• Coordinate interviews with hiring managers and follow candidates through to offer

3. Proactive Sourcing & Pipeline Building

You won’t just “wait for Indeed to work.”

• Use:

  • Indeed, LinkedIn, Facebook groups, university programs, referrals, and your own creativity

  • Resume search / Smart Sourcing tools to find candidates

• Build and maintain warm pipelines:

  • Tagged by state, credential, and availability

  • So when a new client hits “Need RBT” or we open a new state, you’re not starting from zero

4. Close the Loop With BCBAs & Ops

• Work closely with:

  • Practice owners to understand case needs (location, schedule, clinical profile)

  • Operations to make sure handoff from “offer signed” → onboarding is smooth

• Use your relationships with BCBAs, RBTs, and internal teams to:

  • Help re-staff cases

  • Add hours to existing RBT schedules where appropriate

  • Prevent kids from sitting and waiting for therapists for weeks

5. Keep the System Clean & Visible

• Maintain an accurate, always-current ATS (we use Ashby) and internal trackers:

  • Status of each candidate

  • Time in stage

  • Hires per week / month

  • Time-to-hire

• Your dashboards help us answer:

  • “How many interviews did we run this week?”

  • “How many offers went out?”

  • “How long does it take us to staff a client in X state?”

If leadership wants a recruiting number, they shouldn’t have to guess or pull a one-off spreadsheet - you already know it.

What You’ll Need

We’re not looking for someone to “try recruiting.” We’re looking for someone who’s already built some muscle doing it.

• 3+ years of recruiting in the ABA / behavioral health / healthcare space, ideally hiring RBTs and BCBAs

• Proven experience with:

  • Job boards (Indeed, etc.)

  • ATS tools (we use Ashby)

  • Resume search and outbound sourcing

• Comfort working in a fast-moving, remote environment where priorities shift and volume spikes

• Strong written and verbal communication - you can write clear, thoughtful, non-generic messages that candidates actually respond to

• A bias for action: when applications slow down or no-shows go up, your instinct is:
  “What can I try today?” not “I’ll wait and see.”

This Role Is for You If…

• You feel physical discomfort when great candidates sit in a queue untouched.

• You like working from clear targets: interviews per week, hires per month, time-to-fill goals.

• You enjoy building systems - templates, sequences, sourcing lists - not just reacting to whatever hits your inbox.

• You care how RBTs and BCBAs are treated after they sign, not just before.

This Role Is Not for You If…

• You’re happiest just posting jobs and “processing” applicants.

• You need daily hand-holding, step-by-step tasks, or constant supervision.

• You’re not comfortable owning a number and being measured on results.

We believe in hiring people, not resumes. If you’re excited by Tellos’s mission but unsure if you meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply, we’d love to learn what you’d bring to the team.
