Experience behind the search

Understanding the work.
Knowing the people.

Before founding Career Connections, John helped individuals with autism find meaningful employment, then recruited inside an autism services organization.

Career Connections brings that experience to every search: understanding what your team needs, listening to the person considering a move, and clarifying the details before an introduction.

What makes a connection work

The details make
the difference.

A credential starts the conversation. Workload, clinical support, and the way a team practices help us understand the fit.

For providers
Set clear expectations and explain the support behind them.
For clinicians

A few things to know

Clarity from
the beginning.

Is ABA your primary recruiting focus?

Yes. ABA and autism services are at the center of our work, including BCBAs, BCaBAs, clinical leaders, RBTs, and behavior technicians. We also recruit occupational therapists (OTs), speech-language pathologists (SLPs), physical therapists (PTs), and special education professionals.

Do you recruit nationwide?

Yes. We support searches nationwide, including rural and underserved markets. We shape the search around local compensation, location, service setting, and flexibility, whether you’re hiring for one practice or across multiple locations.

How do your recruiting partnerships work?

We offer contingent hiring, ongoing volume partnerships, and retained search. We discuss your needs and agree on the scope, fees, and placement terms before a search begins.

What if I’m a clinician just exploring my options?

That’s a good reason to connect. You can browse opportunities or start a career conversation about what you might want next, including your preferred location, schedule, setting, and clinical support. Learn how we support your search →
