Sourcing a new team member can be challenging, especially during a nationwide shortage of veterinarians. Support staff like veterinary technicians are facing similar national deficits in today’s job market. A recent analysis by the American Veterinary Medical Association counts between 6 and 18 openings for every candidate looking for employment. 

Even without the struggles of hiring in a pandemic, veterinary practices face steep odds when they have a position in their clinic to fill. That’s where the team at Veterinary Recruiting and Staffing Solutions comes in. We have the experience—both working in vet clinics and in the staffing arena—to make finding your next hire efficient and painless. Read on to learn more about how we find the best veterinary talent for your unique practice. 

Our relationship with you begins with an introductory consultation call. This call gives us a chance to learn more about you, your practice, and your hiring needs. We will talk through the position or positions you have open, ask about how your practice runs, and gather your list of must-haves for a veterinary candidate.  We will give you an honest assessment of our ability to help you with your hiring needs. We know the unique challenges of working in the veterinary industry and strive to be your partner through the hiring process and beyond. 

After we’ve determined your team’s unique needs, we’ll send you our clinic questionnaire. This form goes into more detail and branches out from our first conversation. The goal here is to gain every great detail about your practice, position, and team that we can use to market your opportunity to potential candidates. The more detail you can give, the better!
