About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Manage full-cycle recruiting across DVM, relief DVM, and Practice Manager searches, including intake, sourcing strategy, screening, interview coordination, offer, and close.
Source passive candidates through Boolean search, professional networks, referrals, and targeted outreach. A large share of qualified veterinary candidates are passive, so proactive sourcing is central to the role.
Build and maintain candidate relationships with a strong, honest picture of the clinic, the role, and the market. Represent AVP professionally to every candidate, whether or not they move forward.
Own the candidate pipeline in our applicant tracking system (Workable), keeping records, stages, and notes accurate so hiring managers and leadership have a reliable pipeline view.
Partner with stakeholders, including hiring managers, clinic leadership, and the HR team, to align on role requirements, feedback, and timelines.
Screen and qualify applicants through structured phone and video screens, assessing both qualifications and fit against the role profile.
Coordinate and extend offers in partnership with clinic leadership and the Regional Operations Manager, who serves as the approval gatekeeper for offers.
Track and report on time to fill, pipeline health, and source effectiveness, and use that data to refine strategy.
