Role overview

Behavioral Health Works, Inc. is hiring an ABA Talent Acquisition Specialist to support a fully remote recruitment function focused on clinical and behavioral health hiring. This position is centered on building strong teams by attracting high-quality ABA professionals and creating a positive candidate journey from initial outreach through onboarding.

The role is ideal for a recruiter who enjoys relationship-based hiring, understands the ABA talent landscape, and can partner with leaders to bring in skilled professionals such as Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs).

• Running end-to-end hiring for RBT, BCBA, and related ABA positions.
• Building and nurturing long-term talent pipelines within the ABA community.
• Finding, screening, interviewing, and assessing candidates for clinical and cultural fit.
• Managing candidate communication and engagement throughout the hiring process.
• Working closely with hiring managers to understand staffing priorities and workforce needs.
• Organizing interviews, extending offers, and supporting onboarding steps.
• Keeping ATS records accurate and maintaining recruiting documentation.
• Monitoring recruiting metrics and using data to improve hiring results.
• Supporting employer branding efforts in the ABA space.
