What does a physical therapist staffing agency do?
A physical therapist staffing agency recruits licensed PTs for outpatient clinics, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies. GlobalCybers places them permanently onto your payroll rather than as travel therapy contracts. We verify the licence with the state physical therapy board, confirm APTA board specialisation with ABPTS where claimed, and check what your state permits in practice, direct access limits and dry-needling authority both vary by state and shape what a therapist can actually do on your caseload. RPO at $2,999/mo, or Direct Hire at 12-20% on a successful hire.

Need permanent therapists instead of rolling travel contracts?
Travel therapy contracts cover a caseload at a premium and end on a schedule that has nothing to do with your patients' plans of care. Handovers mid-episode cost outcomes and referrals. A permanent, licence-verified therapist is a one-time fee, keeps a plan of care with one clinician, and is the reason a referring physician sends the next patient.

Credential Verification
Every Licence Verified Before Delivery
Unverified physical therapists never appear on a shortlist. We check directly against the issuing authority, not self-reported documentation.
State licensure via the PT board
Physical therapists are licensed by each state's physical therapy board following the NPTE, and compact privileges under the PT Compact are available only between participating states. We confirm the licence and its status with the board, and check compact eligibility where a candidate is relocating rather than assuming portability.
Direct access and dry needling scope
Direct access, how far a patient can be treated without a physician referral, and dry-needling authority are both set by state law and differ sharply. We confirm what your state allows and what the candidate is trained and permitted to do, which is what determines whether a caseload plan is realistic.
Board specialisation and setting fit
APTA board specialisations (OCS, NCS, SCS) are confirmed with ABPTS. Beyond the credential we record real setting experience, because outpatient orthopaedic caseloads, acute care and OASIS-driven home health are genuinely different jobs with different documentation demands.
Pricing
Two Models, Same Quality
Direct Hire
Of first-year salary · on successful hire only · no retainer
90-Day Written Guarantee: If a placed physical 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 Physical Therapist Seat Costs, and How We Cut It
An unfilled PT seat leaves visit slots empty, sends referrals to a competitor and lengthens the wait that made the referral urgent in the first place.
A verified 3-5 shortlist of physical therapists lands within 48 hours of a complete brief, instead of the weeks the seat stays uncovered.
The state licence and the actual scope, direct access and dry needling included, are confirmed before shortlist, so caseload planning is based on what the therapist may legally do.
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 physical therapist leaves or is let go within 90 days, we source a replacement free under both models.
