Veterinary Staffing Has Unique Challenges
From emergency cover to multi-practice groups, veterinary recruitment is complex.
Same-Day Emergency Cover
Vet calls in sick at 7am for 8am start. Practice needs immediate cover to maintain patient care.
Without urgent alerts: 20+ phone calls, shift often goes unfilled
State/Country Licensing
Track DVM licenses, RCVS registration (UK), AVA membership (AU), state board licenses (USA), DEA numbers.
Manual tracking: Expired licenses = compliance violations
Specialty Matching
Emergency clinic needs ER-trained vet. Referral hospital needs surgeon. Small animal vs exotic vs equine.
Generic job postings: 80% unsuitable applicants
Multi-Practice Groups
Corporate vet groups with 5-50+ practices need centralized staffing across locations.
Scattered systems: No visibility across practice network
Location Critical
Vets won't commute 60+ minutes for a 4-hour shift. Need local, qualified candidates fast.
Mass emails: "Too far" responses waste everyone's time
Small Candidate Pools
Unlike nursing (thousands), veterinary has smaller pools. Can't afford to lose vets to poor experience.
Slow booking: Vets go to competitors

Veterinary Recruitment FAQs
Is Hirepad for veterinary recruitment agencies or in-house teams?
Both! Veterinary recruitment agencies use Hirepad to place locum vets across client practices. Corporate vet groups with 5-50+ practices use Hirepad for internal staffing across their network. Same platform, different use cases.
Can I manage both locum and permanent veterinary placements?
Yes! Use shift mode for locum/relief work (flexible scheduling, day rates). Use regular job postings for permanent veterinarian or nurse roles with full ATS pipeline. Same platform for both recruitment types.
What veterinary credentials does Hirepad track?
All major credentials: DVM/BVSc licenses (state/country), RCVS registration (UK), AVA membership (AU), DEA numbers (USA), malpractice insurance, RVT/CVT/LVT certifications for nurses. Progressive reminders before expiry.
Can I differentiate between small animal, exotic, and equine vets?
Absolutely. Create separate job classifications for Small Animal, Exotic, Equine, Emergency, Surgery, etc. Each classification has custom credential requirements and only notifies qualified vets.
How does same-day emergency cover work?
Click 'Boost' on the shift. Set geo-targeting radius (e.g., 25km for city practice). System sends instant email to vets who've opted in for urgent notifications. Get responses in hours instead of days.
Does Hirepad work for multi-practice veterinary groups?
Yes! Corporate groups with 50+ practices use Hirepad for centralized staffing. One dashboard shows all locations. Track which vets work at which practices. Coordinate internal float pools across your network.
Can veterinary practices log in and request staff?
Yes, if you enable the Client Portal. Individual practices can submit shift requests, approve/decline specific vets, and manage their own staffing needs through a branded portal.
Is the platform white-labeled?
Yes! Full white-labeling with your brand colors, logo, and custom domain (e.g., jobs.yourvethospital.com). Choose from 3 pre-built themes or get custom design. Vets see YOUR brand, not Hirepad.
