What does each board offer an employer hiring BCBAs?
The ABAI Career Center is the Association for Behavior Analysis International's job board for behavior analysis roles.
ABAI calls it "the premier job site for behavior analysis careers" — its own description.
Employers can run a standard posting, buy a Job Flash package that emails the job to behavior analysis professionals with resume bank access, or buy resume bank access on its own.
ABAI says jobs posted on the Career Center are also distributed to partner sites such as ZipRecruiter, Jobs2Careers, Google for Jobs and Adzuna/LinkedIn.
BehavioralHires is a job board built only for behavioral health: mental health, substance use treatment and ABA.
Board certified behavior analyst is one of its 14 role pages (BCBA jobs), alongside RBT and behavioral health technician.
A post is indexed in Google Jobs and appears on the matching role and city pages, and candidates who click Apply go to the hiring organization's own application page.
There is no resume database.
What does posting a BCBA job on each board cost?
On the ABAI Career Center, a standard posting is $349 for 30 days or $699 for 60 days, per a March 2026 capture of its pricing page.
The Job Flash Package is $499, adding an email of the job to behavior analysis professionals, resume bank access and a 60-day run; Premium Job Flash is $599, and the Ultimate Recruitment Package, which adds TalentBoost distribution, is $799.
On BehavioralHires, a Standard post is $199 and a Featured post is $399 at launch pricing (regular prices $299 and $499), published on the pricing page.
Each is a one-time payment that never renews and runs for 30 days.
For a single 30-day post, BehavioralHires is the lower published price: $199 against $349.
Price is not the whole comparison, though: the ABAI packages add the professional email, the resume bank and partner-site distribution, while BehavioralHires' paid options are the post itself — Standard or Featured — and slot plans for volume hiring.
What do you commit to, and how do you cancel?
The ABAI pages checked here do not publish contract or cancellation terms, so that is a question to ask ABAI before you buy a package.
On BehavioralHires, a single post is a one-time payment — it never renews and there is nothing to sign.
Slot plans bill monthly with no minimum commitment and no contract: Growth is $899 a month for up to 10 posts live at once, and Brand is $1,749 a month for up to 25 with every post upgraded to Featured.
You can cancel whenever you like.
Which board reaches more behavior analysts?
On published audience claims, ABAI has them and BehavioralHires does not — that gap favors the ABAI Career Center, and it is worth saying plainly.
ABAI says the $499 Job Flash Package emails the job to 19,000 behavior analysis professionals (a self-reported figure), and that postings are distributed to partner sites such as ZipRecruiter, Jobs2Careers, Google for Jobs and Adzuna/LinkedIn.
The resume bank adds another route: sourcing candidates directly, with access included in the Job Flash packages or $149 for 30 days on its own, and single resume purchases at $35.
BehavioralHires publishes no audience, candidate or reach numbers at all, so it cannot claim parity with any audience figure.
What it offers instead is focus: a board that carries only mental health, substance use and ABA roles, where a BCBA posting sits on the same board as its RBT, behavioral health technician, therapist and case manager pages.
Which trade wins depends on whether the association's audience or the field-wide board is closer to who you need.
What results does each board publish?
On the pages checked here, neither company publishes hiring outcomes: ABAI's pages describe its offering, prices and audience — the self-described "premier job site" line and the Job Flash email figure — and BehavioralHires publishes no audience or candidate numbers at all.
BehavioralHires also states plainly that it is not an employer, staffing or recruiting agency and does not guarantee that a listing will result in a hire.
Treat a post on either board as an advertising channel: it buys visibility, not an outcome.
If you want a wider list of options, the ZipRecruiter alternatives page covers more boards for behavioral health hiring, including the ABAI Career Center, and the BehavioralHires fact sheet is the source for every BehavioralHires fact on this page.
Which one should you choose?
Choose the ABAI Career Center if…
- You want the Job Flash email to behavior analysis professionals — self-reported at 19,000 — and judge it worth the step up from a standard post.
- You would rather source candidates than wait for applications: resume bank access comes with the Job Flash packages, standalone access is $149 for 30 days, and a single resume purchase is $35.
- You want one post to appear beyond the board itself — ABAI says postings are distributed to partner sites such as ZipRecruiter, Jobs2Careers, Google for Jobs and Adzuna/LinkedIn.
- A 60-day window fits your hiring timeline: $699 buys a standard 60-day posting, and the $499 Job Flash Package also includes a 60-day posting.
Choose BehavioralHires if…
- You hire the whole behavioral health team — BCBA, RBT, behavioral health technician, therapist, case manager — not only behavior analysts; BCBA sits among 14 role pages.
- You want a published one-time price with nothing to sign: $199 for a 30-day Standard post or $399 for Featured, at launch pricing, and it never renews.
- You want candidates applying on your hiring organization's own application page rather than through the board.
- You keep openings live all year and want a flat monthly slot plan — $899 for up to 10 live posts or $1,749 for up to 25 — that cancels anytime.

How much does it cost to post a BCBA job on BehavioralHires?
A Standard post is $199 and a Featured post is $399 at launch pricing (regular prices $299 and $499).
Each runs for 30 days, is a one-time payment and never renews.
A post is indexed in Google Jobs and appears on the matching role and city pages.
Organizations that are always hiring can take a slot plan instead: $899 a month for up to 10 live posts or $1,749 for up to 25.
Does the ABAI Career Center have a resume bank, and how does it work?
Yes.
Resume bank access comes included with the Job Flash packages, and ABAI also sells standalone resume bank access at $149 for 30 days and single resume purchases at $35.
BehavioralHires works differently: there is no resume database and no candidate profiles, and a post sends candidates to the employer's own application page.
If direct sourcing matters more than posting, that difference is a real reason to pick ABAI.
Does BehavioralHires have a resume database like the ABAI Career Center's?
No. BehavioralHires has no candidate profiles and no resume database; a post sends candidates straight to the employer's own application page.
If sourcing candidates directly rather than waiting for applications is central to how you hire, that gap favors the ABAI Career Center, where resume bank access comes with the Job Flash packages and a single resume purchase costs $35.
On either board, paying for placement is not the same as a hire.
Where does my posting appear on each board?
Per ABAI, jobs posted on its Career Center are also distributed to partner sites such as ZipRecruiter, Jobs2Careers, Google for Jobs and Adzuna/LinkedIn, so one posting can surface in several places.
A BehavioralHires post appears on the matching role and city pages on the board and is indexed in Google Jobs.
The distribution approaches differ: ABAI's packages add outside partner-site reach (per ABAI); BehavioralHires keeps visibility on its own behavioral health pages.
Which board should I choose for hiring BCBAs?
Choose the ABAI Career Center when the association audience, the professional email and the resume bank are what you want — standard postings are $349 for 30 days.
Choose BehavioralHires when you want a behavioral-health-only board at a published one-time price — $199 Standard or $399 Featured at launch pricing — and prefer candidates to land on your own application page.
Either way, a post buys visibility, not a hire.
Can I post the same BCBA job on both boards?
Nothing on the pages checked here addresses running one opening on two boards, and ABAI's contract terms are not published on those pages — confirm with each board before you buy.
The price math: an ABAI standard post is $349 for 30 days, while a BehavioralHires Standard post is $199 for 30 days at launch pricing, as a one-time payment that never renews.
