Veterinary Recruiting | Graduates Talk

Recruiting top talent starts with listening.

Recruiting new team members? So are a lot of our clients. To better understand the veterinarian shortage and how we can produce better recruitment videos, we interviewed veterinarian graduates to find out what they are looking for. We hope that you find their responses as interesting and helpful as we do!

Team Culture

Mentorship

Salary & Benefits

Work-Life Balance

High Standards of Care

Shared Passions

Advice to Hiring Managers

As you watch the videos above, listen for the nuances in the responses. While some common values are shared by most candidates, each person has a unique perspective. For example, most of the interviewees mentioned “mentorship” as a value. For some this means strong supervision, while others just want somebody to go to if they need help.

Your practice is unique. So, why aren’t you attracting more candidates?

Including buzz words like “mentorship” and “work-life balance” in your job postings only goes so far in helping your practice stand out. Candidates told us they want more specifics about what those things look like in action. One way to capture these details (without boring candidates) is through a recruitment video. Here are some examples of videos we’ve produced:

RalstonVet

Ocean State Veterinary Specialists

All Pets Animal Hospital

Let’s Make a Recruitment Video (or we’ll help you do it yourself)

Recruitment videos can be used on job posting sites, the careers page on your website, in emails to candidates and anywhere else you use video.
