Our Client
Located in Massachusetts, our client is a public school district serving more than 40,000 students.
Decreased Turnover + Enhanced Retention = Better Student Support
Their Challenge
With increasing demand in special education— particularly Applied Behavior Analysts (ABA)—our client faced a critical staffing challenge to ensure compliance, continuity, and high-quality services for students with diverse needs.
In 2023, our client’s ABA Director was tasked with hiring 70 ABA specialists to support the growing program. Recognizing the scale and urgency, our client reached out to a myriad of staffing firms for help.
Our Partnership
Sunbelt takes a personalized approach to staffing, recognizing that every client has unique needs. For our client, we implemented a tailored and responsive recruitment model, successfully hiring around around 70 ABA specialists within a year while maintaining high retention through strong relationships with our partners and consultants. Beyond ABA, we support the district with cross-functional staffing, including paraprofessionals, school psychologists, and therapists. We’ve also helped to navigate complex city and union hiring processes by working closely with program coordinators and ensuring full compliance. These efforts have fostered trust and transparency, enabling lasting relationships with key personnel, going beyond simply managing their account to becoming a trusted member of their team.
