ABAshifts exists because the ABA staffing crisis isn't about a shortage of talent — it's about a shortage of schedule compatibility.
The ABA field has a staffing crisis hiding in plain sight. There are 187,000+ certified RBTs in the U.S. and growing demand for services — 1 in 36 children are now diagnosed with autism.
But RBT turnover runs 77–103% per year. Companies can't keep their teams. Families wait weeks or months for therapy to start. And the #1 reason RBTs leave isn't pay — it's schedule instability.
No single company can guarantee a full week of hours. Cancellations, waitlists, and scheduling conflicts leave RBTs piecing together 20-something hours and hoping next week is better. When it isn't, they leave.
ABAshifts is a shift marketplace that connects ABA companies with qualified, nearby RBTs and BCBAs — matched on schedule fit first, with full credentials and resumes in view post-match.
We're not a job board. We're not a staffing agency. We're a matching platform purpose-built for the ABA field, where schedule is everything and the wrong hire costs thousands.
We match on availability before anything else. No more interviewing people who can't make the hours.
Anonymous until mutual interest. RBTs browse without exposing their identity to current or potential employers.
Built for this field — BACB credentials, supervision hours, service types, practice management tools.
20-hour cap on all shifts. We help companies retain staff by helping staff earn more — not leave.
