Our top priority is helping you find the best staff for your clinic. Veterinary professionals are in short supply these days, so we step up to spend the time and effort needed to find these candidates. No matter your goals, we make the hiring process easy with just three simple steps. Your staff does not have the time it takes to place ads, search out and contact potential candidates, sit down and filter through candidates, set up and perform interviews, find the right candidate, and help cover shifts for their short staffed team, so we gladly take this off your plate! That way, your team can spend time focusing on what they do best. Here’s what to expect from us when hiring a veterinary technician.
1. Consultation Call
We need a clear understanding of your team’s goals and challenges before we get started. So, the first step in our hiring process is always an initial consultation call. During this call, we take a deeper dive into what you’re looking for and how many candidates you’ll need. If employee retention is your primary concern, our team will support you every step of the way. We’re also able to put mentoring programs into place based on your unique needs. We want you to see this opportunity as a partnership for long-term success. Your wins are ours, too!
2. Candidate Sourcing
Time for some real collaboration! After the initial consult, we’ll send you our detailed clinic questionnaire. This helps us learn more about who you are and what sets your practice apart from the rest. It’s important to fill this form out with as much information as possible. The more detail we receive, the better equipped we’ll be to find the right technician for your practice! Highlight all the great things about you, your practice, your team, and your community!
We’ll then kickstart our search for the ideal candidate with your specific answers in mind. This involves strategically designing and placing ads where they’ll make the most impact. We also create a custom plan to encourage candidates to consider joining your team. This allows you the freedom to prioritize patients without scrambling to fill positions over time.
3. Hiring Process
Our team will support you by arranging interviews with quality applicants. We work together to choose those who meet all of the relevant criteria. Because company culture is such a major factor, we’ll only select applicants that resonate with your unique values. That way, you don’t have to spend time eliminating the unqualified candidates. When we find a candidate we send over an open and honest summary for your evaluation prior to setting up an interview with you. If you decide the candidate has potential, we work with you to set up an interview. You’re the final decision maker, of course, but we’re always by your side to offer our expert guidance!
Skills to Consider
Veterinary technicians are highly skilled members of any clinical practice. They’re expected to be well-organized and compassionate while providing exceptional patient care. We typically ask applicants about their familiarity with modern procedures, skills, experience, and previous working culture and environments. All the candidates we recommend are screened based on the knowledge and techniques most relevant to your open position.
Interpersonal skills are essential for vet techs, as are personal integrity and a love for animals. You can rest assured knowing that we’ve selected only the most qualified candidates possible.
We strive to find the perfect culture fit for any veterinary position. Our experience in the industry gives us valuable insight into the skills, education, and qualifications needed for success. From technicians to veterinarians and practice managers, our team knows what makes great applicants stand out from the rest. If your clinic needs to add a veterinary technician to your team, please feel free to reach out for more information. We look forward to supporting your practice in its search for the ideal candidates today!
