What does an occupational therapist staffing agency do?
An occupational therapist staffing agency recruits licensed OTs for clinics, hospitals, school districts and home health agencies. GlobalCybers places them permanently onto the employer's payroll rather than as contract therapy coverage. We verify the licence with the state OT board and NBCOT certification in the registry, and where the role is school-based we confirm the district's clearance requirements too, since a school OT is delivering IEP service minutes with a legal obligation attached. RPO at $2,999/mo, or Direct Hire at 12-20% on a successful hire.

Need a permanent OT instead of contracted coverage?
Contract therapy coverage fills a caseload and rarely finishes anything: goals get rewritten by the next therapist, families meet a new clinician mid-plan, and documentation quality drifts. A permanent, licensed OT is a one-time fee and lets a plan of care actually run its course with one person accountable for the outcome.

Credential Verification
Every Licence Verified Before Delivery
Unverified occupational therapists never appear on a shortlist. We check directly against the issuing authority, not self-reported documentation.
State licence and NBCOT certification
OTs are licensed by the state occupational therapy board following NBCOT certification. We confirm both, check for disciplinary action, and where a candidate is relocating we check whether both states participate in the OT Licensure Compact rather than assuming the licence travels.
School-based practice requirements
A school OT works to IEP service minutes with statutory obligations attached, and districts impose their own clearance requirements including fingerprinting and registry checks. We confirm the clearances and the candidate's actual IEP documentation experience rather than treating school work as clinical work in a different building.
Specialty certification and setting fit
Certified Hand Therapist and other specialty credentials are confirmed with the certifying body, and we record real setting experience, since paediatric school practice, inpatient rehab and home health differ in documentation, caseload structure and equipment far more than the shared licence suggests.
Pricing
Two Models, Same Quality
Direct Hire
Of first-year salary Β· on successful hire only Β· no retainer
90-Day Written Guarantee: If a placed occupational therapist leaves or is terminated within 90 days, we replace them at no additional cost. Available on both RPO and Direct Hire models.
Employer Value
What an Unfilled Occupational Therapist Seat Costs, and How We Cut It
An unfilled OT seat means IEP service minutes go unmet or discharge planning stalls, and both carry consequences beyond the rota.
A verified 3-5 shortlist of occupational therapists lands within 48 hours of a complete brief, instead of the weeks the seat stays uncovered.
Licence, NBCOT standing and, for school roles, district clearances are confirmed before shortlist, so a therapist can carry a caseload from week one.
Pay only when you hire, at 12-20% of first-year salary. RPO is a flat $2,999/month for continuous healthcare hiring, with no per-hire fee.
If a placed occupational therapist leaves or is let go within 90 days, we source a replacement free under both models.
