I work for a private practice that is expanding into an amazing opportunity in Sarasota/Bradenton, FL. We are trying everything and cannot find anyone to fill the position. Does anyone have any tips to help with this? I take this as a great sign of my job security, but we are going to need someone...soon. We are very selective, but have gotten very few responses. We are trying to avoid recruiters, the rate we were quoted was $62/hour, that's unreasonable. Let me thank you in advanced for any advice.

I know that in NY there is a job list at www.nypta.org. I wonder if Florida has this as well. Probably post this at the main APTA website as well.

If your company is evidence based, the evidence in motion crew do have an area on their site dedicated to physical therapist and physical therapist assistant openings.

They just closed 3 or 4 Physiotherapy clinics in that area. I used to work there and I'm trying to drag some of them up into St Pete but you might have better luck since it's the same area. Shoot me a PM if you want some specific contact names/numbers. My company is currently going through a buyout right now so we may have some people leaving in the St Pete area that would make the drive. I used to do it. The skyway is nice to drive over, for awhile.
