Cariant Health Partners Review

Cariant Health Partners is an Omaha-based agency focused specifically on therapy staffing — no nursing, no physicians. This therapy-only focus means recruiters tend to have better discipline knowledge than general healthcare agencies. A solid mid-tier option for therapists who want a specialized agency without going fully boutique.

Cariant is a hidden gem for OT travelers. The therapy-only focus is real — my recruiter knew OT practice, understood COTA supervision requirements, and found me assignments that matched my clinical background. Pay was competitive and the team was genuinely responsive.

Solid mid-tier agency. Cariant was my second agency after a large national company and the improvement in recruiter knowledge was immediate. My recruiter actually understood SNF productivity expectations. Contract was as advertised. Good overall.

I appreciated the therapy focus but wished they had more SLP contracts in my target states. What they did have was high quality and the recruiter was knowledgeable. I use them as a secondary agency for Midwest markets specifically.

Three contracts with Cariant and very consistent experience. The team is small enough to know your name and preferences but professional enough to have real infrastructure. Pay is good but not the highest — ProTherapy quoted me $180 more per week for an equivalent assignment. But I’ve been happy enough with Cariant to stay.
