Challenge
A small physical therapy office, owned and run by two licenced physical therapists, was struggling to find 2 additional physical therapists to join their practice located in a remote California town.
The owners, busy with treating patients and running a practice, were frustrated with how much time, effort and money it was costing them to find and hire qualified physical therapists.
Over a 6 month period they spent over $5,000 on job board postings that yielded no results and they didn’t have the budget for the approximately $20,000 it would cost to work with a staffing agency or headhunter.

testimonial
I cannot believe how effective Katon Direct’s recruitment marketing approach was! We were able to fulfill our hiring needs within one month and at a significantly lower cost than what we had been previously spending for job board postings. My only complaint is that I wish I had known about Katon Direct sooner!
