Your Reliable Partner in Recruiting the Best Veterinarians
Who We Are
At DVM Consulting & Recruiting, we specialize in helping privately owned veterinary clinics find and retain exceptional veterinarians. We’re not just recruiters; we’re consultants, advisors, and long-term partners invested in the success of your practice. From our proprietary Five-Facet Methodology to our suite of post-hire support programs, every element of our work is designed to deliver not just a hire, but a future team member who belongs.
Our Philosophy: Consulting First, Retention Driven
Veterinary hiring isn’t just about filling a seat; it’s about making a smart, lasting investment in your clinic’s future. That’s why our approach puts consulting first and emphasizes long-term retention as the true measure of success.
We believe:
- The right veterinarian fit extends beyond resumes; it requires clinical alignment, shared values, and a career trajectory that matches.
- Clinics need more than candidates; they need strategic hiring guidance, process clarity, and a partner who listens.
- Retention doesn’t start after the hire; it begins during the first conversation with a candidate, and continues through onboarding, mentorship, and culture building.
That’s the DVM difference: thoughtful strategy, hands-on support, and results that last.
