At 2020 Behavior, finding the perfect fit is like a rewarding journey. We’re building a dream team by recruiting highly experienced BCBAs who share our passion. Understanding the profound benefits of a longer hiring process in ABA therapy, we take our recruiting seriously, with a thorough and deliberate process. We believe the right people make all the difference for the amazing children and families we serve.

Finding the Right BCBAs

There are almost 60,000 BCBAs in the United States, but what makes the real difference is passion. At 2020 Behavior, we go beyond qualifications. We want people who truly care about helping kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We seek individuals passionate about ABA therapy and skilled in overcoming challenges to provide exceptional care for children with ASD.

Our hiring mission is two-fold: creating a supportive work environment and ensuring high-quality care. We achieve this by carefully selecting team members who embody these values.

The Pitfalls of a Rushed Hiring Process

Many organizations are tempted to fill vacancies quickly to keep things running smoothly. However, rushing the hiring process can lead to several problems, including:

1. Bad Fit: Someone who looks good on paper might not actually mesh well with the team or company culture. This can cause arguments and make everyone unhappy.
2. High Turnover: People who don’t feel like a good fit are more likely to quit. This means more hiring and training, which can be expensive. It can also disrupt care for clients.
3. Lower Quality Care: If you hire someone quickly, they might not have the right skills or motivation. This can lead to worse care for clients, especially in something important like ABA therapy.

That’s why at 2020 Behavior, we take our time to find the best people. We carefully check qualifications, but that’s not all. We also want people who fit well with our team and our clients. This careful approach lets us keep our high standards and give the best possible care.

The Benefits of a Longer Hiring Process

While our hiring process may take longer than some organizations, we firmly believe that the benefits of a longer hiring process in ABA therapy far outweigh the time investment. Here are some of the key advantages:

1. Perfect Fit: At 2020 Behavior, we pick the best people who would make a great fit for both our team and clients. Each BCBA is hired with a specific client in mind, ensuring high-quality care from the start.
2. Higher Retention: Our careful selection process helps us build a team who loves our mission and stays with us for a long time. This means consistent care for our clients and lower turnover costs. In fact, most of our therapists stay with us for over 2 years!
3. Enhanced Skills: Our competency tests and interviews help us find people with the exact skills they need to do the job well. This way, our team is ready for anything and can give the best care possible. Passing the BCBA exam is just the first step to becoming a good clinician. We ensure that all of our providers remain fluent in behavior analysis and current research.
4. Stronger Team Cohesion: We build strong teams by having everyone on the hiring team come from the ABA field, with experience working directly with clients. Since everyone on the team has experience working with clients themselves, they know exactly the kind of therapist who thrives here. This builds a strong, supportive team where everyone feels invested in each other’s success.
5. Better Client Outcomes: Ultimately, the most significant benefit of our extended hiring process is the positive impact on our clients. By hiring the best candidates, we ensure that our clients receive high-quality, effective interventions that lead to meaningful improvements in their lives.

The old resume and interview routine isn’t enough to find the best. At 2020 Behavior, our extensive hiring process is designed to be a fun and informative experience for both our team and applicants. Applicants get a chance to learn about our amazing team and what it’s like to work at 2020 Behavior, while we discover their unique skills and how they might be a great fit. For transparency, see our hiring process below:

Why Choose 2020 Behavior

At 2020 Behavior, every client gets the most out of their ABA therapy because they work directly with a top-tier BCBA, every single session. Unlike other ABA providers who use a 2 or 3-tier model, our streamlined approach ensures faster clinical progress with a highly experienced BCBA on the case.

We focus on quality, not quantity, which is why we don’t hire Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Our passionate BCBAs are hand-picked through an interactive and thorough hiring process, so your child receives high-quality care from someone who’s thrilled to be part of their journey!
