Veterinary Surgeon Staffing FAQs
Can I differentiate between small animal, exotic, and equine vets?
Yes! Create separate job classifications for Small Animal, Exotic, Equine, Emergency, Surgery, etc. Each classification has custom credential requirements and only notifies qualified vets.
What veterinary licenses does Hirepad track?
All major licenses: DVM/BVSc (state/country), RCVS registration (UK), AVA membership (AU), DEA numbers (USA for controlled substances), malpractice insurance. Progressive reminders before expiry.
How does same-day emergency cover work?
Click 'Boost' on the shift. Set geo-targeting radius (e.g., 25km). System sends instant email to vets who've opted in for urgent notifications. Get responses in hours instead of days.
Can I manage both locum and permanent vet placements?
Absolutely. Use shift mode for locum/relief work. Use regular job postings for permanent veterinarian roles with full ATS pipeline (Leads → Applied → Interview → Hired). Same platform for both.
Does Hirepad work for multi-practice veterinary groups?
Yes! Corporate vet groups with 50+ practices use Hirepad for centralized staffing. One dashboard shows all locations. Track which vets work at which practices.
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.
What if a vet's license expires mid-booking?
System sends progressive reminders at 90, 60, 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry. If license expires, system automatically prevents new bookings until vet uploads renewed document.
Can vets work across multiple states/countries?
Yes. Vets can upload multiple state licenses or country registrations. System tracks each license separately and only allows them to book shifts in states/countries where they're licensed.
