Physical Therapist Recruiting

HCRI’s physical therapy recruiters help employers hire PTs who fit both the clinical role and the team. We recruit outpatient, acute care, home health, orthopedic and neurological physical therapists, as well as rehabilitation directors. Because physical therapists work alongside physicians, nurses and other specialists to keep care continuous, we screen for communication and teamwork as carefully as for licensure and clinical skill.

HCRI recruits physical therapists for these roles:

• Outpatient Physical Therapists
• Acute Care Physical Therapists
• Home Health Physical Therapists
• Orthopedic Physical Therapists
• Neurological Physical Therapists
• Rehabilitation Directors
• Physical Therapy Assistants (PTAs)
• Both Full Time/Direct Hire and Travel / Temp positions

The Importance of Physical Therapists in Modern Healthcare

Physical therapists play a vital role in helping patients recover mobility, improve function, and regain independence after injury, surgery, or illness. In today’s healthcare environment, PTs are also instrumental in reducing readmissions, supporting preventative care, and helping organizations deliver value-based outcomes. Recruiting the right PTs means finding professionals who blend clinical expertise with empathy, adaptability, and strong communication skills.

At Healthcare Recruiters International, we specialize in recruiting physical therapists who meet the clinical and cultural needs of healthcare organizations. With healthcare-only recruiting since 1984, our consultants know how to identify PTs with the right combination of licensure, clinical expertise, and patient-care focus. Whether you’re hiring for a hospital, outpatient clinic, long-term care facility, or home health program, HCRI connects you with PTs who elevate both patient outcomes and organizational performance.
