ISTA Personnel Solutions is a fast-growing, global BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency — we operate as a dedicated extension of our U.S.-based clients’ teams, delivering high-quality operational support with precision, efficiency, and professionalism.
We are recruiting on behalf of a U.S.-based Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy services provider. This organisation delivers critical behavioural support services to children and families, and their growing caseload means they need a driven, organised recruiter to help fill new client cases quickly and efficiently.
With 10 or more new cases arriving each week that need to be filled within 24–48 hours, this is a fast-paced, high-urgency role where speed and follow-through are everything. You will be managing the full recruitment cycle for ABA therapist roles, from sourcing and interviewing candidates to onboarding and handoff.
If you are organised, communicative, and thrive under pressure, and you enjoy the satisfaction of placing the right person in the right role quickly, this role is for you.
About the Role
As an ABA Recruiter, you will be responsible for filling new therapy cases as they come in, ideally within 24–48 hours. You will work closely with candidates applying via Indeed, conduct screening interviews, manage onboarding documentation, and liaise with the onshore staffing team to coordinate case assignments.

- Internet Requirements: A fixed fibre line with a minimum speed of 25 Mbps (upload & download) and wired Ethernet capability is mandatory. Connections via Rain, LTE, 5G, or similar are not acceptable. Applicants without a fixed fibre line will not be considered.
- Power Backup: A reliable backup solution is required to manage load shedding and outages (UPS, inverter, solar, etc.). Applicants without a reliable backup solution will not be considered.
