When am I charged the $49 shift fee?
When you publish a shift. The fee covers that shift for its entire duration — no recurring charges.
What if no one matches my shift?
The $49 posting fee is non-refundable, but you get unlimited candidate browsing and matching attempts for that shift. Most shifts see matches within the first week.
When is the $5 match fee charged?
Only when both you and the RBT/BCBA confirm the match. If interest is one-sided or either party declines, you pay nothing extra.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. $49 per shift, $5 per match. That's it. No monthly subscriptions, no annual contracts, no recruiter commissions.
Why is it free for RBTs and BCBAs?
Because the platform only works if therapists are on it. We make it free so there's zero friction for signup. Companies benefit from more available, nearby therapists who already fit the schedule and the commute.
