You'll spend time building relationships with potential candidates, managing job postings, and using recruitment software to track applicants.

Job description

Location: Remote. Candidate must reside in Western Region
Compensation: $80,000 base salary, commensurate with experience. Performance-based bonuses are available.
Reports to: Director of Human Resources
Employment type: Full-time, exempt.
Position Summary
We are hiring a Full-Cycle Recruiter to own hiring from first contact to signed offer across our clinics. You will source, screen, and guide candidates through the process for veterinarian (DVM), relief DVM, and Practice Manager roles in a supply-constrained market. This is a hands-on sourcing and closing role, not a coordinator position. You will spend most of your time finding passive candidates, building relationships, and moving qualified people through the pipeline. Success is measured by quality hires placed and time to fill, not activity volume.
Key Responsibilities
• Manage full-cycle recruiting across DVM, relief DVM, and Practice Manager searches, including intake, sourcing strategy, screening, interview coordination, offer, and close.
• Source passive candidates through Boolean search, professional networks, referrals, and targeted outreach. A large share of qualified veterinary candidates are passive, so proactive sourcing is central to the role.
• Build and maintain candidate relationships with a strong, honest picture of the clinic, the role, and the market. Represent AVP professionally to every candidate, whether or not they move forward.
• Own the candidate pipeline in our applicant tracking system (Workable), keeping records, stages, and notes accurate so hiring managers and leadership have a reliable pipeline view.
• Partner with stakeholders, including hiring managers, clinic leadership, and the HR team, to align on role requirements, feedback, and timelines.
• Screen and qualify applicants through structured phone and video screens, assessing both qualifications and fit against the role profile.
• Coordinate and extend offers in partnership with clinic leadership and the Regional Operations Manager, who serves as the approval gatekeeper for offers.
• Track and report on time to fill, pipeline health, and source effectiveness, and use that data to refine strategy.
Preferred
• Experience with an applicant tracking system, Workable in particular.
• Familiarity with using AI tools such as Claude & ChatGPT.

• Clear, direct written and verbal communication.
• Required travel as needed to clinics for onboarding and candidate interviews, in addition to various career fairs and events .
