Ensure HIPAA-Compliant Recruitment Without the Headache

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting automation ensure HIPAA compliance for PT candidate data?
We prioritize regulatory awareness by embedding end-to-end encryption and access controls into every workflow. Candidate info, like health-related certifications or background details, is stored in isolated, audited vaults compliant with HIPAA's security rule. Our system auto-redacts sensitive PHI during sharing and logs all interactions for easy audits. For PT clinics, this means verifying DPT licenses without exposing patient-linked data. We've helped over 50 practices avoid fines by integrating these safeguards seamlessly—no extra tools needed. Implementation includes a compliance review tailored to your state regs, ensuring you're audit-ready from launch.
Can this be customized for a small PT clinic with just 5 therapists?
Absolutely—our solutions are built for SMBs like yours, starting small and scaling as you grow. We map your exact workflow, whether it's hiring for outpatient sports therapy or in-home care, and design AI that fits without overwhelming your team. For a 5-person clinic, we might automate sourcing from local networks and basic screening, saving 10-15 hours weekly on admin. Unlike enterprise software that demands IT overhauls, ours deploys via simple API ties to your existing setup. Past clients, like a boutique ortho practice, saw hires in under a month, boosting capacity without added headcount.
What kind of ROI can a physical therapy clinic expect from this service?
Expect a strong return through time and cost savings: clinics typically save 25 hours weekly on manual tasks, equating to $15K-$20K annually in admin salaries at $30/hour rates. Faster hiring—down from 45 days to 20—cuts turnover costs by 30%, or about $40K per retained PT. We track metrics like fill rates and benchmark against healthcare averages, with most seeing 3x ROI in 4-6 months. For example, one clinic reduced agency fees by $12K in Q1 alone. Our custom build ensures these gains align with your patient volume, turning recruitment into a revenue driver.
How does the AI handle screening for PT-specific qualifications?
Our AI uses natural language processing tuned to healthcare terminology, scanning resumes for keywords like 'manual therapy,' 'APTA certification,' or 'experience with vestibular disorders.' It goes deeper with semantic analysis to match skills to your needs—e.g., prioritizing gait training expertise for neuro clinics. We train the model on your past hires' success data, achieving 85% accuracy in initial filters. This reduces false positives, focusing your team on top candidates. Integration with licensure databases auto-verifies credentials, flagging issues like expired CPR certs before interviews, streamlining what used to take days into minutes.
Is the system easy to integrate with our existing clinic software?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations without disrupting operations. For PT clinics using WebPT, Therabill, or similar EHRs, we connect via secure APIs to pull scheduling data and push new hire info automatically. Setup involves a quick audit of your stack—no rip-and-replace. Our engineers handle the heavy lifting, ensuring data flows bidirectionally, like updating availability post-hire. Clinics report zero downtime during rollout, with full functionality in 2-4 weeks. This unified approach eliminates the 'subscription chaos' of patched-together tools, giving you one owned system.
What if we need to hire for specialized PT roles, like oncology rehab?
We customize the AI to target niche expertise, sourcing from specialized networks like the Oncology Section of APTA or oncology-focused job sites. The matching algorithm weighs factors like certification in lymphedema management or experience with cancer survivor protocols against your caseload. For rare roles, it enriches searches with semantic queries to find hidden talent on LinkedIn or forums. One client, a cancer rehab center, filled two specialized spots in 18 days, versus their usual 60+. We iterate based on your feedback, ensuring the system adapts to evolving needs like new evidence-based PT guidelines.
