USA Veterinary Recruitment — Your Questions Answered
Straight answers to the questions practice owners, medical directors and hiring managers ask us most.
How much does it cost to hire a veterinarian through your agency?
Nothing upfront. Reviewing candidate resumes, interviewing DVMs and arranging practice visits are all free. A single placement fee is only payable once your chosen veterinarian accepts your offer — so hiring is risk-free until you succeed, and every placement is backed by a full refund guarantee period.
Do I pay to interview veterinarians?
No. You can review resumes, interview as many shortlisted associate veterinarians or medical directors as you like, and host working interviews or site visits at no cost. You only pay when you hire.
What happens if a veterinarian I hire doesn't work out?
Every placement includes an industry-leading rebate period with a 100% refund during the initial guarantee window. We will also prioritise sourcing a replacement DVM so your schedule stays covered.
How quickly can you fill a veterinarian vacancy in the USA?
We recruit nationwide and headhunt from an established network, so we typically present a qualified shortlist within days. Many associate and emergency veterinarian roles reach offer stage within a few weeks.
How do you source veterinarians?
We combine direct headhunting, referrals and our specialist DVM network to reach both active jobseekers and passive candidates — experienced veterinarians who are happy in post and never respond to job boards.
Can you help multi-site and corporate veterinary groups?
Yes. We support independent hospitals, multi-site groups and corporate practices, from single associate hires to regional Medical Director and multi-location recruitment campaigns.
Do you recruit relief vets into permanent roles?
Yes. We specialise in converting relief and locum-style working patterns into attractive permanent positions, helping practices secure long-term stability while offering vets the flexibility they value.
Can you recruit confidentially?
Absolutely. Replacement hires and sensitive searches are handled discreetly, and no details are shared without your consent.
Do you only place permanent veterinarians?
Yes. We are permanent-recruitment specialists. We do not supply locums or temporary staff, which means our entire process is built around retention and long-term fit.
How does your guarantee work for veterinary employers?
You pay no fee until your veterinarian accepts an offer. After they start, an industry-leading rebate period applies, including a 100% refund in the initial window if the placement leaves — complete protection on every hire.
