Finding a new veterinary job is rarely a simple task. From scrolling through new role openings day after day to sending out endless applications, there’s a lot of time-consuming work involved in securing your dream veterinary position.
Luckily, you don’t have to do it alone.
A veterinary recruitment agency can take on those job-hunting tasks so that you don’t have to worry. From brushing up your CV to discovering international opportunities, a recruitment agency can help you through the entire process.
Here are some of the benefits of working with a veterinary recruitment agency to find a job:
Access to Exclusive Opportunities & Global Reach
Veterinary recruitment agencies work with a whole network of veterinary clinics and hospitals. This gives them access to jobs before they’re advertised on job boards, as well as positions that are entirely exclusive. The jobs on offer can be both domestic and international, helping you tap into a whole market of roles that might be a little less competitive.
Recruitment agencies can also narrow down your search by matching your niche expertise and requirements to exclusive opportunities. For example, if you’re looking for an entry-level small animal veterinary role in New York, a vet job agency can use their network to find matches to your criteria.
Expert Job Matching & Career Guidance
A vet recruitment agency will take the time to learn about your skills, experience, and qualifications. In other words, they’ll get to know exactly what you’re looking for in a veterinary job! This makes it a whole lot easier to match your CV to a relevant vacancy and ensure you’re applying for positions that align with your expertise.
Maybe you want more flexible working options where you can work around childcare, hobbies or just have a better work/life balance? In which case an agency can support you finding a locum vet job, with flexible hours to suit your timetable.
They can also chat with you about different career paths and possibilities, looking at where your skills would be of best use in the field.
Time-Saving Efficiency and Reduced Stress
On your own, the job-hunting process can be complex. When working with a specialist, though, it becomes a lot less time-consuming.
This is because an agency takes care of all the laborious tasks so that you don’t have to, using their expertise for quick, seamless applications. From tailoring your resume to suit different positions to filling out application forms, much of the hard work is simplified.
Not only does this give your applications a professional polish, but it also saves you countless hours of sifting through jobs, ensuring you can find your dream role with less stress.
Salary Negotiation Help
As well as application, veterinary recruiters are master salary negotiators. They can help you navigate the world of vet salaries and benefits packages, giving you all the insights you need to secure great pay. This includes key considerations if you’re thinking of working abroad, like the average wages and cost of living in different countries.
From salary negotiations to learning more about visa sponsorship programmes, recruiters can help you every step of the way finding a new veterinary position.
