The Importance of an Online Presence in Your Therapy Job Search

When you’re conducting a therapy job search, you need to make it easy for recruiters and hiring managers to find you online. Why? In today’s competitive job market, recruiters and employers often seek passive candidates because they are being inundated with resumes the minute they post a new therapy job opportunity. Just to be clear, passive candidates are those that aren’t necessarily looking for work, but who may be interested if the right job comes along. Passive candidates usually are already actively working.

Anyone who is currently searching for a new job or that doesn’t want to miss out on an excellent opportunity should make sure their professional credentials are readily accessible online. Employers, therapy agencies and recruiters are constantly mining the Internet to find the best people to hire for a particular therapy job, regardless of whether the candidate has expressed interest in their company or not.

In addition, recruiters and Human Resource managers are adding their own profiles to sites like LinkedIn and making connections with potential candidates for employment. So make sure you have your profile filled out on LinkedIn, your therapist resume available and start networking with the people who can land you a therapy job faster by signing up for the various therapy groups.
