Neurodiverse individuals and their families often face significant challenges, and it takes a special sort of person to help them navigate those hurdles. Limitless patience and compassion, and strong emotional intelligence and communication skills are must-haves, along with expert knowledge in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) best practices and evidence-based techniques.
At TYGES, our executive search professionals are experts in board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) recruitment strategies. When you’re ready to expand your team of BCBA professionals, we’re here to help with forward-looking recruitment and unparalleled candidate matching.
Recruit the Right BCBA Candidates for Your Team
Behavioral health recruiting demands finding not only a qualified candidate, but the right qualified candidate for a particular position, organization, and client population.
Our team can help you recruit behavior analysts who meet all of the necessary credentials for board certification, including:
- An ABAI or APBA-accredited graduate degree
- At least 1,500 hours of supervised fieldwork while being mentored by a seasoned BCBA
- Passing score on the competency exam
This is only the tip of the iceberg, however. We look beyond credentials on paper to ensure that each potential candidate has the right intangibles, like a strong work ethic, firm commitment to professional ethics, and unwavering sense of professionalism, including confidentiality and appropriate boundaries.
We’ll help you find behavior analysts with deep experience meeting the needs of clients, including:
- Keen observation and thorough assessments
- Creation of a safe, welcoming, and inclusive therapy environment
- Realistic goal-setting in a collaborative manner
- Progress tracking and plan adjustment as needed
What’s more, we focus on finding candidates who are committed to lifelong learning, as staying abreast of the latest research and evidence-based methods is a must in this field.
We Empower You to Confidently Navigate a Tight Labor Market
The numbers are stark. There are about 70,000 registered BCBAs in the U.S. Employers need about 300,000 of them. In fact, the demand for BCBAs nationwide has risen every year since 2010. Between 2022 and 2023 alone, there was a 14% increase in demand. Agree on graphic
The discrepancy between supply and demand makes for a tight labor market that demands exceptionally skilled and experience-driven recruitment methods. This is particularly true if your organization is located in a state with especially high demand and low supply, including California, Florida, Virginia, Texas, and Michigan.
At TYGES, we enjoy a challenge. Our highly experienced team can help you recruit BCBA experts no matter where you’re located or how quickly demand outpaces supply.
