Why use a specialist recruitment agency?



Why would you use a recruitment agency rather than going directly to the employer yourself?

As recruiters we spend 8 hours a day every day talking to clients, gathering information on who is hiring, who is firing, who is expanding, who is contracting, speaking to candidates gathering information on which practices are the best to work for, who are the dogs, which are investing, which are stagnating, which are high tech, which are antiquated.

In a nutshell we get to know which practices are the best to work for and which are to be avoided.

We also know which practices are hiring but not advertising and which may be open to employing that star candidate but are not necessarily advertising a vacancy.

That is why registering with a specialist veterinary recruitment agency can dramatically improve your chances of finding your dream job.

At Recruit4vets we have been providing recruitment solutions to veterinary practices since 2006 and over the last 8 years we have build up a detailed bank of information on virtually every veterinary practice throughout the UK, we know how often they recruit, how often they employ locums, their staff turnover and they probably have staff working at the practice who we have placed their ourselves.

As a specialist veterinary recruitment agency we have built lasting business relationships with many of the practices owners and we understand their requirements, what they look for when employing staff and have an understanding of whether you will be the right fit for their practice. We also have built trust so that we can often get you into that interview before your peers. On many occasions a CV simply isn’t good enough; it will be the recruitment consultant selling your skills to the client that gets you that all important interview.

We review CV’s and cover letters on a daily basis and we know exactly what information will likely get you to the top of the pile when clients are reviewing CV’s, we can also offer interview tips which will help you secure that perfect job.

We speak to hundreds of employers every month and we know what the market salary rates are and we can offer advice to both you and the client and help with your salary negotiations, most people feel uncomfortable negotiating salaries with a new employer, we can act as a buffer.

We also understand how the recruitment process works and will point out the pitfalls to stop any negotiations breaking down.

Our services will save you a vast amount of time, will open the door to lots more vacancies and put you at an advantage over your peers. 

What’s more it’s completely free of charge!!
