In ABA, we hire like we're filling a seat. But we're not filling a seat. We're matching a human being to a child's daily reality.
A job title tells you almost nothing about fit. "RBT needed" doesn't say whether the learner is a two year old in early intervention or a verbal teenager with a history of aggression. Those are completely different skill sets, completely different temperaments, and the same therapist can be brilliant at one and lost in the other.
So we post a rate and a title, we get a stack of resumes we can't really sort, and we cross our fingers. The therapist crosses theirs too. Half the time the mismatch shows up by day three, and by month two somebody's already looking again.
And here's the part we don't say out loud: in ABA, a bad match isn't just turnover. Consistency IS the intervention. When a kid loses their third therapist in a year, that's not an HR problem, it's a clinical one.
The shortage was never really people, and it was never really jobs. It's matching on the things that actually decide whether it works: the setting, the schedule, the drive, the population, the language, the specific skills, the temperament. None of that fits in a job title.
That's the whole problem I've been trying to solve. Not another job board, a way to match on what actually matters before anyone wastes a month finding out it doesn't fit.
See for yourself.
