Autism Behavior Services, Inc., has introduced a new hiring technology to speed up the hiring process of the company’s Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) experts. Specifically, ABSI’s “Instant Interview” technology will enable qualified individuals to receive an instant interview invitation via the careers website right after applying for a vacant post.
This new solution becomes especially timely in light of persistent staffing issues that plague the industry, where a shortage of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) prevails. Most candidates looking for employment in the field usually have to undergo a lengthy process of application, automation testing, and scheduling, which may take several days.
Launched in April 2026, ABSI’s innovation now offers qualified applicants immediate access to a scheduler after applying to the respective post through the company’s website. Eligible individuals will be able to schedule a video call in a matter of minutes during business hours, thus avoiding unnecessary waiting times.

The technology works via a three-stage mechanism: first, applicants send an application form for a vacant position; next, the algorithm checks the applicants’ qualifications, including certification, experience level, and location; finally, qualified candidates gain immediate access to scheduling an interview.
“We looked at our own application data and saw how many people dropped off between applying and actually getting a first conversation scheduled,” said Andrew Patterson, CEO of Autism Behavior Services, Inc. “That gap didn’t need to exist so, we built something to close it. If someone takes the time to apply to us during business hours, we should be able to have someone ready to talk. It’s not complicated. It just took us deciding to prioritize it.”
According to the company, the platform has already led to a notable increase in completed first-round interviews during its initial rollout period. ABSI says the technology reduces average time-to-interview from several days to less than 15 minutes, helping the organization compete more effectively for talent in a highly competitive labor market.
“Most hiring processes in our field weren’t designed for how people actually look for work today,” Patterson added. “Candidates expect responsiveness. We saw an opportunity to simply remove the wait time between ‘applying’ and ‘talking to someone.’ It’s not a dramatic shift in philosophy, just a practical fix to a very common frustration.”
