GOT QUESTIONS?
Here is What You Need to Know
Whether you are a veterinarian exploring your options or a clinic looking for the right hire, chances are your question is already answered below. If not, our team is happy to help!
What is the process for working with VetMatch as a clinic?
It starts with a discovery call about your clinic’s needs, culture, and hiring goals. From there, we source and screen candidates who are genuinely aligned with your team, and support you through interviews, the offer, and the first days on the job.
How quickly can you help my clinic hire?
Timelines vary by role, and a highly specialized position will always take more care than a general practice opening. That said, our proactive sourcing and established network mean we are rarely starting from zero. We are often already in conversation with candidates who fit your kind of role, which tends to move faster than posting a job and waiting for applicants to come to you.
Do you screen candidates before presenting them?
Yes, every time. We only bring you candidates who are qualified and genuinely aligned with your clinic’s culture and needs, not just anyone with the right credentials on paper. That screening happens before you ever see a name, so your time is spent on strong-fit interviews instead of sorting through resumes.
What happens after we hire someone?
We do not disappear the moment the offer is signed. Our team follows up during the first ninety days to check in with both you and your new hire, catch small issues before they become reasons someone leaves, and help make sure the placement actually sticks.
Do you help vet clinics hiring anywhere in the US?
Yes. We work with vet clinics hiring across the country, connecting them with reliable, qualified talent through a proven, people-first process.
