What does a respiratory therapist staffing agency do?
A respiratory therapist staffing agency recruits credentialed RTs for hospitals, long-term acute care and home respiratory services. GlobalCybers places them permanently onto your payroll rather than as travel RT contracts. Verification runs through the NBRC, which issues the CRT and RRT credentials, and the state licence, required in nearly every state. Beyond that we evidence unit competency, ventilator platforms actually managed and NICU or paediatric experience, because those are what determine which shift a therapist can safely cover. RPO at $2,999/mo, or Direct Hire at 12-20% on a successful hire.

Need permanent respiratory therapists instead of travel coverage?
Travel RT contracts cover the shift and charge a premium for every one of them, and each rotation means another competency check on your ventilator platforms before anyone is comfortable in the ICU at 3am. A permanent, NBRC-verified therapist is a one-time fee and knows your equipment, your protocols and your intensivists.

Credential Verification
Every Licence Verified Before Delivery
Unverified respiratory therapists never appear on a shortlist. We check directly against the issuing authority, not self-reported documentation.
NBRC credentials and state licence
The NBRC issues the CRT and RRT credentials, and nearly every state requires a licence on top. We confirm the credential in the NBRC registry and the licence with the state board, and note the distinction clearly, since many units are staffed on an RRT requirement that a CRT cannot satisfy.
Unit competency and ventilator platforms
We record the ventilator platforms the therapist has actually managed, the acuity of the units worked, and weaning-protocol experience, then confirm it by reference. A therapist competent on adult medical ventilation is not automatically ready for a NICU, and shortlists say so.
Specialty credentials and resuscitation cards
NBRC specialty credentials (ACCS for adult critical care, NPS for neonatal and paediatric) are confirmed with the board, along with current ACLS, PALS and NRP cards verified at the issuing training centre.
Pricing
Two Models, Same Quality
Direct Hire
Of first-year salary · on successful hire only · no retainer
90-Day Written Guarantee: If a placed respiratory 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 Respiratory Therapist Seat Costs, and How We Cut It
An unfilled RT seat is covered by overtime and stretched ratios on exactly the shifts where ventilator coverage matters most.
A verified 3-5 shortlist of respiratory therapists lands within 48 hours of a complete brief, instead of the weeks the seat stays uncovered.
NBRC credential, state licence and evidenced unit competency mean a therapist is cleared for the shift you actually need covered, not just the department.
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 respiratory therapist leaves or is let go within 90 days, we source a replacement free under both models.

Trusted by Hospitals & Respiratory Departments
“They evidenced the ventilator platforms rather than accepting 'ICU experience', which is why the hire covered nights without a ramp.”
