onlyPT Recruiting helps healthcare employers hire licensed physical therapists through focused sourcing, clinical fluency and candidate conversations built around real fit. The company describes itself as not just recruiters and not just PTs, but both, and was founded with a clinical physical therapy perspective combined with healthcare recruiting discipline. Its screening is built around setting fit, motivation and offer readiness, and it commits to clear communication from the first role intake through to an accepted offer.

The firm is one hundred per cent focused on physical therapy, on the argument that PT recruiting is too specialised for a generic search. It works across outpatient orthopaedics, hospital, skilled nursing, home health, leadership and specialty experience, and notes that each of these requires a different conversation. Local markets shape every search, because compensation, commute radius, setting preference and licence timing can change a brief before a CV ever arrives. Candidate trust matters too: onlyPT says physical therapists respond when the recruiter can speak clearly about caseload, mentorship, productivity, growth and quality of care.

Every search follows a five stage rhythm from intake to start date. onlyPT first clarifies setting, must haves, compensation, timeline and what will make the opportunity compelling; then maps the physical therapy market and tailors outreach around the role's real strengths; screens deeply for clinical fit, motivation, clinic needs and readiness to move; presents selectively, so employers see qualified candidates with context rather than a stack of unfiltered CVs; and supports the close through interviews, offer, notice period and start date. Its principles are to stay focused and avoid searches that dilute candidate conversations, to be attentive to employer needs and candidate motivations, and to be direct about market feedback and search realities. Employers can start a search and physical therapists can open a confidential conversation through the site.
