ABA Recruiting | Rooted in Strategy | Blooming with Results
ABA is individualized, personal work.
Your hiring process should feel the same way.
Chances are, your hiring process isn’t completely broken. But something isn’t clicking. Roles sit open, new hires leave too soon, and children wait longer than they should for care.
At Progressive Talent Solutions, we meet you where you are. There’s no one-size-fits-all playbook here. We partner with you to uncover what’s really getting in the way, then help you make changes that last, not just for the next hire but for long-term growth.
What makes PTS different?
We specialize exclusively in ABA recruiting.
We gain insights through data and refine them through experience.
We think beyond the immediate hiring need to impact, retention, and long-term fit.
We offer honest and experienced guidance.

ABA is complex.
Hiring doesn’t have to be.
Most ABA providers don't have a resume problem. They have a systems problem.
Recruiting, HR and scheduling work in silos, candidates fall through the cracks, and the same roles open again six months later.
More job posts won't fix that. A better hiring foundation will.
Trusted by ABA providers who put clients and their teams first.
Who is PTS?
Founder & Principal Consultant
Wendy Belan
Wendy brings over two decades of recruiting experience, with the past eight years deeply immersed in the world of ABA.
She’s worked inside clinics, built internal teams, and dealt with the frustration of a constant and ever-increasing need for more hires. Along the way, she saw how reactive hiring was burning out leaders and costing clinics more than they realized.
She launched PTS in 2021 to change that, to bring calm, clarity, and strategy to ABA hiring, and to give companies the tools they need to grow with intention.
