WHETHER YOU'RE RECRUITING OR JOB HUNTING
Here Is How the Process Works!
1. Initial “Get to Know You" Discovery Call
Our in-depth session covers not only career goals but also lifestyle preferences, hobbies, values, and long-term goals. We also explore your ideal work culture, patient care philosophy, geographic preferences, compensation expectations, and long-term vision.
2. Veterinary Industry Career Consultation
We provide a personalized market overview, covering industry trends, salary benchmarks, and potential career paths within both clinical and non-clinical roles. We also collaboratively discuss your current skills and make suggestions for any areas of growth if needed.
3. Curated “Perfect Match” Opportunities
We create a tailored short list of curated opportunities, highlighting information on practice culture, team dynamics, and leadership styles. If available, we also provide feedback from current employees, giving a 360-degree view of potential workplaces.
4. Interview & “Fit” Preparation
We provide insight into the type of interview questions you may be asked, focusing on technical and behavioral questions. We prepare you not only for the interview but also for cultural alignment, ensuring you are a perfect fit for the practice.
5. Coordinated Interview Process
We schedule interviews, provide continuous updates, and help handle all logistics, including travel, if required, for in-person interviews.
6. “Day-in-the-Life” Experience
For top matches, we arrange a “shadow day” or virtual tour where you can experience the clinic’s workflow, get a sense of the work culture, and meet the team.
7. Ongoing Support & Transparent Communication
We keep you updated about the timeline and any feedback from the practice, eliminating anxiety and providing constant support.
8. Salary Negotiation & Personalized Contract Review
We provide salary data and compensation trends specific to the position and location. We will advocate for you every step of the way, negotiating the offer, understanding the legal terms, and salary & benefits (e.g., flexible hours, CE allowances, and student loan repayment).
9. Onboarding Concierge Service
Once you accept the offer, we don’t disappear. We assist with onboarding logistics, such as relocation (if needed), credentialing, and introductions to key team members. We also check in periodically during the first 90 days to address any concerns.
10. Career Development Check-Ins
Even after the placement, we maintain contact with you, checking in periodically to offer support, discuss career development, and present future opportunities if desired.
