How To Write The Perfect Veterinary Job Ad

Given the generally recognized shortage of Veterinarians, Veterinary Technicians, and Vet Nurses globally, the task of reaching potential new team members in a way that compels them to apply has never been more critical. While focusing on adding skills and talent to your practice is essential, today, you must also “pitch” yourself and your practice to potential candidates and tell a captivating Story. An effective job ad, or Job Campaign as we prefer to describe it, is not just a job description and a list of equipment. Today it must be a carefully crafted Story aimed at attracting and engaging with the best candidates for your job. We developed our ideal Job Campaign structure based on a deep analysis of 1,000’s of Job Campaigns and what makes potential candidates click on an Apply Now button and what does not. We focused not purely on what content to include but also on the flow or the order of how that content, your job ad copy, should be structured. And so here is our step-by-step guide to creating the perfect Job Campaign…

Salary Transparency in Job Ads – The Case For & Against

Let’s face it: despite promises of flexible scheduling and commitment to work-life balance, pay (and benefits) is still a significant factor in whether a candidate applies for or accepts a job in the veterinary field. However, for veterinary employers, hospitals, and clinics, making salaries public can be complicated. You come across a promising veterinary job ad while browsing online. The description is appealing, the team members seem friendly, and you possess most of the qualifications for the role. But when you look for the expected salary, you find ambiguous phrases like “depending on experience” or “competitive.” Why don’t veterinary employers simply list the salary upfront?

For veterinary recruitment & career success, align your Values, Skills, and Environment

For veterinarians, veterinary nurses and veterinary technicians, and for veterinary hospitals, clinics and businesses, ensuring that your values, skills, and environment align is essential for job satisfaction and long-term practice success. Aligning these factors is crucial for attracting, engaging, and retaining the best veterinary professionals, ultimately leading to a more productive and efficient practice. And for veterinary professionals, alignment of your values, skills and environment virtually guarantees a happy, successful veterinary career.
