What does each board actually sell?
iHireMentalHealth sells job slots on a subscription.
You pick a number of slots — 1, 3 or 10 — pay monthly (or a lower quarterly rate), and keep openings live for as long as you like, swapping jobs in and out as roles fill.
Every ad ships with a bundle of recruiting tools, and wider distribution (the Nationwide and Traffic Max upgrades) is bought as an upgrade.
BehavioralHires sells per-post or a slot plan.
A Standard post is $199 and a Featured post $399 at launch pricing, each a one-time payment for a 30-day listing — no subscription to start or remember to cancel.
Employers that are always hiring can move to a monthly slot plan instead, where each slot holds one live post and swaps between openings are unlimited and free.
The deeper difference is what happens after a candidate clicks Apply.
On BehavioralHires, the click goes to the employer's own application page — the board keeps no candidate profiles and has no employer dashboard.
On iHireMentalHealth, screening, messaging and scheduling all happen inside iHire's tools.
What does each one cost a behavioral health employer?
iHireMentalHealth's published prices are all monthly: $369 for one slot, $450 for three and $799 for ten, dropping to $316, $405 and $733 per month on the quarterly plans.
Its cheapest published entry point is the one-slot quarterly plan at $316 a month, and the Nationwide and Traffic Max upgrades cost extra.
BehavioralHires' published prices are per post: $199 for a 30-day Standard post and $399 for Featured, at launch pricing (the regular prices are $299 and $499).
Both are one-time payments that never renew.
Its slot plans are $899 a month for up to 10 posts live at once, with the logo on each post (Growth), or $1,749 a month for up to 25, with every post upgraded to Featured (Brand).
Both are arranged by contacting BehavioralHires rather than through self-serve checkout.
The math comes down to hiring frequency.
One or two hires a year: the one-time $199 post costs less than a single month on iHireMentalHealth's cheapest published plan.
Several roles open all year: the subscription comparison is iHireMentalHealth's 10 slots at $799 a month against BehavioralHires' 10 live posts at $899 a month or 25 at $1,749.
What tools come bundled — and what do you give up on each side?
This is where iHireMentalHealth is the stronger fit, plainly.
Every job ad includes branded email alerts, automatic 15-day refreshes that push the ad back to the top of search, an AI job ad builder, applicant prescreening with auto-disqualifying questions, interview scheduling, candidate messaging, applicant management, and a free career site with a company profile.
If you want the board to run your screening funnel, that bundle is a real reason to stay.
BehavioralHires bundles almost none of that, by design.
There are no prescreening questions, no candidate inbox and no employer dashboard: candidates land on your own application page, and to edit a live post or take it down early you email support.
What you give up in tools you get back in candidates landing on your own application page — and in a board where nothing outside behavioral health is listed.
Where does your listing actually appear on each board?
iHireMentalHealth promotes each job across the iHire network and partner sites "like Google, Indeed, JobGet, and more," and its pricing page describes recruiting across an iHire network of 57 industries (self-reported).
That partner-site syndication is the reach advantage.
BehavioralHires distributes a post to its matching role and city pages and indexes it in Google Jobs; there is no partner-site syndication.
What it offers instead is coverage: every listing on the board is a behavioral health job, across mental health, substance use treatment and ABA, so a counselor or RBT searching it sees only behavioral health openings.
If partner-site syndication matters most, iHireMentalHealth is the better fit.
What do the two boards publish about their results?
iHireMentalHealth's employer pages market scale: its pricing page describes a network spanning 57 industries (self-reported) and promotion across partner sites.
Those are the company's own marketing claims, and the pages checked for this comparison publish no hire rates or placement outcomes.
BehavioralHires publishes no counts at all: no job, candidate or reach numbers anywhere on its site.
Its terms state that it is not an employer or recruiting agency and does not guarantee that a listing will result in a hire.
On published numbers, the gap favours iHireMentalHealth and it is worth saying plainly: you are choosing between a board that self-reports its scale and one that publishes nothing to check.
BehavioralHires' case is the coverage and the pricing model, not volume claims.
Which board fits ABA and RBT hiring?
Applied behavior analysis is one of BehavioralHires' three coverage areas, with dedicated role pages for BCBA, RBT and behavioral health technician — each with a remote page — alongside therapist, LCSW, mental health counselor, MFT, psychiatric NP, psychiatrist, psychologist, case manager, peer support and clinical director pages.
An ABA organization hiring both RBTs and clinicians posts everything to one board.
iHireMentalHealth is a mental health board.
The job titles its home page highlights are clinical and counseling roles, including certified counselor, psychologist, psychiatric RN, psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, psychiatric social worker and substance abuse counselor, and applied behavior analysis and behavior intervention appear among its highlighted skills rather than among its highlighted job titles.
If ABA is a core part of your hiring mix, the board built around it is the more direct fit.
If you are hiring counselors or psychologists — titles both boards carry — the pricing model becomes the deciding factor.

- You want candidates applying on your own application page rather than inside the board's inbox.
- You keep several openings live and want a flat monthly slot plan — $899 for 10 posts or $1,749 for 25 — with no contract.
Frequently asked questions
Is iHireMentalHealth a subscription or pay per post?
A subscription. iHireMentalHealth sells job slots on monthly plans — $369 for 1 slot, $450 for 3 and $799 for 10 — with cheaper per-month quarterly rates of $316, $405 and $733.
You can swap jobs in and out of your slots, upgrade, downgrade or cancel at any time, and the Nationwide and Traffic Max upgrades cost extra.
The employer pricing page checked for this comparison sells job slots only.
Can I post a single job on BehavioralHires without a subscription?
Yes.
A Standard post is $199 and a Featured post is $399 at launch pricing (regular prices $299 and $499).
Each is a one-time payment for a 30-day post that never renews — there is nothing to sign and no plan to cancel.
Employers that are always hiring can optionally move to a slot plan at $899 a month for 10 live posts or $1,749 for 25.
Which is cheaper for one hire, BehavioralHires or iHireMentalHealth?
For a single opening, BehavioralHires: its $199 one-time 30-day Standard post costs less than one month on iHireMentalHealth's cheapest published plan ($316 a month for one slot on the quarterly plan, $369 monthly). iHireMentalHealth's flat monthly rate is built for continuous hiring — the slots stay live and swap between openings all year — and that is the pattern where a subscription can work out cheaper than paying per post.
What does iHireMentalHealth include that BehavioralHires does not?
Screening and workflow tools.
Every iHireMentalHealth job ad includes applicant prescreening with auto-disqualifying questions, interview scheduling, candidate messaging, applicant management, branded email alerts, automatic 15-day refreshes, an AI job ad builder, and a free career site and company profile.
On BehavioralHires, candidates apply on the employer's own application page and there is no candidate inbox or employer dashboard — support edits posts by email.
Does iHireMentalHealth post jobs to Indeed and Google?
It promotes them there: iHire says jobs are promoted across the iHire network and partner sites like Google, Indeed and JobGet, with wider distribution available as paid Nationwide or Traffic Max upgrades.
BehavioralHires takes a narrower route — each post is indexed in Google Jobs and appears on the board's matching role and city pages, with no partner-site syndication.
Which board is better for hiring BCBAs and RBTs?
BehavioralHires is built for it: applied behavior analysis is one of its three coverage areas, with dedicated role pages for BCBA, RBT and behavioral health technician (each with a remote page) sitting alongside its clinical role pages. iHireMentalHealth is a mental health board whose highlighted titles are clinical and counseling roles, with applied behavior analysis listed among its highlighted skills rather than among its highlighted job titles.
Can I cancel either board without a long-term contract?
Yes, on both sides. iHire states its slot plans can be upgraded, downgraded or canceled at any time, with no long-term commitment required.
BehavioralHires' single posts are one-time payments that never renew, and its slot plans bill monthly with no minimum commitment and no contract — canceled posts stay visible through the billing period already paid for.
