ABOUT US

A Former Physical Therapist Helping Clinics Hire Therapists Who Actually Fit

Golden Recruiting was founded by Rachel Brown, a former Physical Therapist who deeply understands the realities of therapy teams, caseloads, and patient expectations. We partner with clinics, hospital systems, and therapy organizations to hire physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) with a process built for long-term fit.

We get specific on what success looks like in your environment: setting, pace, patient population, schedule, support, documentation demands, and leadership style. Then we run conversation-first outreach to reach clinicians, without spammy tactics or pressure. You get timely updates, market feedback, and a focused shortlist so your team spends time interviewing, not sorting. If compensation, scheduling, or internal bottlenecks are slowing the hire, we surface it early and help you tighten the path to an accepted offer.

We reached out to Rachel with our challenge in finding the right physical therapists for our small practice, where we were struggling to compete with larger companies in our advertising efforts. Rachel’s expertise and understanding of our unique needs were instrumental in not only finding staff but also positioning our business for growth. She quickly recruited key team members, allowing us to maintain practice volume and avoid disruptions in patient care.

One of the hires she secured was a true dream candidate who not only filled a vacancy but brought the skill set needed to launch a new service line, helping us expand our market reach. Working with a recruiter who is also a physical therapist and understood our practice culture was invaluable; Rachel helped us hire to our high standards rather than just filling roles. We’re incredibly grateful for her attention to detail and commitment to finding the perfect fit for our team.

We are heavily involved with our therapy team. Unfortunately, in our area, we have a really hard time finding quality therapists that also hold our high values. We looked for months and couldn’t find anyone that was able to reach our goals while also providing care at a good cost. Rachel came in and immediately was able to find multiple qualified candidates that we enjoyed interviewing. Within two weeks of contacting her, we were able to find and hire a qualified therapist that has done a wonderful job for the past year.

While many are afraid of using a recruiter, Rachel was extremely fair in her pricing to find the individual. The cost of finding this one therapist was almost the same cost as the ads that were being run and the time spent looking and interviewing so many unqualified individuals. She was able to work within our budget to assure our personal and professional satisfaction.

We will continue to work with Rachel for any further issues in staffing that we may have and are extremely grateful for the incredible team member that she added to us.

I would, without hesitation, recommend Rachel and her services to anyone that is looking to not only fill a position, but hire a long-term team member.

I highly recommend Rachel Brown for physical therapy recruitment. She has an exceptional talent for finding PTs who not only bring clinical skill, but also the compassion, creativity, and patience needed to truly connect with children. Rachel took the time to understand our values, culture, and specific needs—and from there, delivered candidates who were a perfect fit: empathetic, engaging, and deeply dedicated to helping kids grow and thrive. She genuinely gets what it takes to build an outstanding pediatric therapy team.

Our organization has worked with Rachel Brown over the past year to recruit for our “hard to fill” positions, ranging from direct patient care to management and executive roles. Rachel has been extremely easy to work with. She ensures that candidates presented are in line with the qualifications and qualities we are looking for.

What sets Rachel apart from other recruiters is her ability to relate to candidates, understand the needs of both the candidate and the client in the search process, and promptly follow through in meeting the needs of both parties. Many of the candidates that we have interviewed and hired have made unsolicited comments about the positive experience of working with Rachel. One recent executive candidate stated that she was the best recruiter she has encountered in her career. In this time when candidates have so many options, we so appreciate how Rachel keeps candidates engaged and connected throughout the process. To Rachel, it is not just filling a job. It is about finding the best match on both sides.

Working with Rachel Brown and Golden Recruiting was exactly what our practice needed at a critical growth stage. We were struggling to find strong clinical candidates on our own, and Rachel quickly understood our culture, caseload, and expectations, then brought us only well-vetted therapists who were a real match. Her recruiting support significantly reduced our time spent screening, improved the quality of interviews, and led to hires who are already making a positive impact on our clinics.

Candidate Testimonials
Hear What Our Candidates Are Saying

Rachel has been invaluable resource in my first experience seeking a PT position. From the beginning, Rachel and I were in lockstep communicating about my skills/experience and how it aligned with a future opportunity at a clinic. As I went through my interview process, Rachel was the perfect liaison between myself and the hiring manager. She was very detailed with her approach and always following up. I’m happy to say that I was able to secure my first PT job with the great help of Rachel.

Rachel was hands down one of the most efficient recruiters I have worked with!  Her willingness to go the extra mile for me was obvious, she was easy to reach, super responsive and spent many hours making sure it was the best option for both parties!

I would like to commend Rachel Brown as an exemplary job recruiter. She was cordial and attentive enough to get through my initial wariness of headhunters. She is an intuitive listener and asked questions and offered suggestions to help me narrow my search. Very responsive and took action quickly upon my request. In this day and age, Ms. Brown is uniquely a class act. Professional and gracious.
