Direct Answer

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.

Covering caseload with contract therapy?

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.

State OT boardNBCOTCompact status

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.

IEP service minutesDistrict clearanceFingerprinting

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.

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.

48 hrs
Days, not weeks, to fill

A verified 3-5 shortlist of occupational therapists lands within 48 hours of a complete brief, instead of the weeks the seat stays uncovered.

100%
Licensed and cleared before start

Licence, NBCOT standing and, for school roles, district clearances are confirmed before shortlist, so a therapist can carry a caseload from week one.

$0
Upfront on Direct Hire

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.

90 days
A bad fit is not a sunk cost

If a placed occupational therapist leaves or is let go within 90 days, we source a replacement free under both models.

Safety cards

OSHA 10/30 and trade safety cards (e.g. NFPA 70E) verified against DOL-authorised provider records.

Background & drug screening

County, state, and federal checks run FCRA-compliant, plus 5- or 10-panel drug screening aligned to your jobsite policy.

Right-to-work & E-Verify

Form I-9 completed and E-Verify confirmed before start date, so every placement is work-authorized.

Insurance & liability. GlobalCybers carries general and professional liability cover, and every direct-hire placement goes onto your payroll as a W-2 employee, keeping worker-classification risk inside a compliant process.

FAQ

Occupational Therapist Staffing Agency FAQ

How quickly can you deliver an occupational therapist shortlist?

A verified shortlist of 3-5 OTs is delivered within 48 hours of a complete brief. We need the setting, the caseload, the state, and, for school roles, the district's clearance requirements. Licence and NBCOT status are confirmed before the profile reaches you.

Do you place contract or travel OTs?

No. GlobalCybers places permanent occupational therapists only, as full-time hires onto the employer's payroll. Contract therapy coverage and travel assignments are outside our model.

What is different about hiring a school-based OT?

The obligations. A school OT delivers IEP service minutes that carry statutory weight, works to an academic calendar, and needs district clearances that go beyond a standard healthcare background check. We confirm the clearances and evidence real IEP documentation experience, because a strong clinical OT without school experience will struggle with the paperwork rather than the therapy.

What do occupational therapists earn nationally?

Per BLS OEWS May 2025, occupational therapists (SOC 29-1122) earn a national median of $100,330 across 162,450 jobs, with about 10,200 openings a year and 13.8% projected growth through 2034. School-based roles often sit below clinical settings on salary but follow an academic calendar, which is a real part of the offer rather than a footnote.
