Where do these numbers come from?

DMV-market vacancy benchmarks reflect the daily outpatient billable production lost when each role sits empty in an average DMV-area outpatient PT clinic:

Physical Therapist · ~$1,200/day — net outpatient billable production per PT (10–12 visits/day at typical DMV reimbursement).
Physical Therapist Assistant · ~$700/day — net outpatient billable production per PTA, working under PT supervision.
Speech-Language Pathologist · ~$1,000/day — net outpatient billable production per SLP (8–10 sessions/day at typical DMV reimbursement for evaluation and treatment codes).
Office Manager · ~$500/day — based on ~15% of PT clinical time pulled to admin coverage plus billing/auth delays and scheduling drag in a 2–3 PT clinic.
Front Desk · ~$350/day — missed new-patient calls, no-shows from poor schedule control, and insurance verification delays at the point of intake.

Industry context: Average time-to-fill for outpatient PT/PTA roles in the DMV is 3 to 6 months (APTA 2024 Hiring Challenges Report). Roughly 13% of outpatient PT/PTA positions nationally are currently unfilled. Gallup (2024) puts the cost of a bad hire at 0.5–2× annual salary — which is why our placement guarantees are 90 days.

Time scaling (perm mode): Weekly = 5 working days · Monthly = 22 working days · Annual = 250 working days.

"CoreEthos placement" figure shows our minimum permanent placement fee for the selected role. Actual fee is 20% of first-year total compensation, billed contingency-only — no fee until placement, with a 90-day replacement guarantee.

Temp / PRN bill rates: PT $88/hr · PTA $57/hr · SLP $85/hr · Office Manager $60.90/hr · Front Desk $33.35/hr. 4-hour minimum per confirmed shift. Overtime is 1.5×, holiday 2×. Hourly production loss is calculated by dividing the role's daily impact by an 8-hour workday. First-time clients receive a 4-hour bill credit on their first staffing request.
