The Veterinary Recruiter

Search for veterinary practices

The best veterinarians aren't looking. We know where they are.

We place veterinarians, credentialed technicians and practice managers — and we do it for a flat fee that is published, agreed before the search begins, and does not move.

The average veterinary vacancy runs about forty days, and relief cover runs $750 to $1,100 a shift. Bridging one costs most practices more than filling it does. Our whole fee is about eight relief shifts — and because it's flat, it doesn't climb because you made a better offer.

We can charge less than a percentage firm because we're charging for the work of running a search, not for a share of someone's salary. The work doesn't get harder when the salary goes up. Every placement is backed for a full twelve months.
