Job Placement · Veterinary

One open DVM seat caps every appointment you can book.

The national veterinarian shortage means the DVMs and practice leaders you need are employed, exhausted, and fielding offers weekly. We place associate veterinarians, practice managers, and veterinary specialists in 23-35 days at roughly 50% less than contingency firms.

The Real Cost of a Slow Search

What does that open role actually cost your organization?

15,000+
Projected veterinarian shortfall this decade
Demand for pet care has outrun the supply of DVMs. The strongest veterinarians are passive, and reaching them takes proactive sourcing.
$10,000+
Per month absorbed per unfilled DVM seat
An associate veterinarian near $120K runs about $10,000 a month, and that ignores the appointments turned away because the schedule is full.
2-3 weeks
Window before a strong candidate accepts another offer
Licensed DVMs receive offers constantly. A slow hiring process loses them to a competing practice or corporate group.

How It Works

From open role to placed hire in three steps

01
Discovery call

We learn your organization, the role, and what a strong candidate actually looks like in your environment. 15 minutes. No fluff.

02
Active sourcing

We go direct to passive candidates - professionals who are not on job boards but are quietly open to the right opportunity. This is where most searches fail.

03
Shortlist review

You receive 3-5 pre-screened candidates. No stacks of resumes. No wasted interviews. You meet candidates who have already been qualified against your specific criteria.

What You Get

Three things every organization wants - and most placement firms do not offer

Bonus 01No contingency fees. Ever.

Common objection: "We already work with contingency recruiters."

Milestone-based pricing replaces the standard 20-25% contingency fee. Total cost is roughly 50% less. For a $120,000 associate veterinarian placement, that difference is $12,000-$18,000 kept in your budget versus a contingency arrangement.

Bonus 0245-day replacement guarantee at no charge.

Common objection: "What if the placement doesn't work out?"

If the hire does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge. Our guarantee is longer than most contingency firms and is built into every engagement.

Bonus 03A curated shortlist. Not a resume stack.

Common objection: "We have used recruiters before and wasted time on bad candidates."

You will not sort through 20 resumes hoping one sticks. Your dedicated search specialist builds a shortlist of 3-5 candidates who have been screened against your specific criteria. You only meet people who are genuinely qualified. The first interview is a real conversation, not a screening exercise.

The Math on Waiting

Every week that role stays open is a decision you are making.

A vacant DVM seat does not just shorten the schedule. It caps appointment volume, lengthens client wait times, and burns out the doctors covering the gap. An associate veterinarian seat open for 90 days can cost a practice turned-away clients, staff turnover, and roughly $30,000 in absorbed overhead and lost production before the search ends.

The Talent Window

The best candidates are only available for a few weeks.

The best veterinarians and practice leaders are employed, fully booked, and contacted by recruiters constantly. When one opens up to a move, the decision window is two to three weeks, and the offer usually comes from whoever was already in front of them. A posting-and-waiting search misses that person every time.

No commitment. We will tell you exactly what we can do for your search and what it costs.

FAQ

Common questions

What roles do you place?

Associate veterinarians, practice managers, veterinary specialists, hospital directors, lead technicians, and other clinical and management roles across general, specialty, and emergency practice.

How is this different from a staffing agency?

We are not a staffing agency. This is direct permanent placement with milestone-based pricing. You hire the candidate directly. We are not placing temps or contractors.

How does milestone-based pricing work?

Payments are tied to defined milestones in the search process rather than a lump-sum contingency fee at the end. Total cost is roughly 50% less than a standard contingency arrangement. Exact structure is covered on your discovery call.

What does the 45-day guarantee cover?

If the placed candidate does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge.

How quickly can you start a search?

Typically within one week of your discovery call. We begin active sourcing immediately after alignment on the role profile and compensation range.
