🐾 A Day in the Life of a Veterinary Recruitment Consultant at Vet Seekers 🐾
Ever wondered what it’s really like to work at Vet Seekers? Here’s a glimpse into a typical day as a Recruitment Consultant in our fast-paced, rewarding, and fun environment!
☕ Starting the Day
✅ Your day starts before it even begins—you’ve already written a to-do list the evening before, so you’re ready to hit the ground running.
✅ You may have spoken and qualified a lovely veterinary professional last night ready for you to start working on sourcing suitable positions.
✅ Whether you arrive early or have a morning appointment, we understand that life happens. If you drive, there’s free parking; if you take the train or bus, it’s just a 5-minute walk to our office in Conyngham Hall—a modern space inside a stunning Grade II-listed building by the River Nidd.
✅ You grab a coffee, chat with the team, and—without fail—get asked the most important question of the day: What did you have for tea last night? (It’s a tradition here!)
📞 Getting Started
✅ Depending on the day, you might have a team huddle or a one-to-one meeting to discuss priorities, ask for advice, or bounce around ideas.
✅ You check your emails and review your to-do list, ensuring you focus on the most important tasks first. Overnight, veterinary candidates have responded to your outreach, and veterinary practices have contacted you with hiring needs—there’s always momentum here!
🔍 Finding the Perfect Match
✅ No drowning in admin! Our fantastic in-house support team handles job adverts and admin tasks, so you can focus on what you do best—recruitment!
✅ You speak with a veterinary professional, learning about their career goals, motivations, and what they’re looking for in their next role.
✅ They’re keen on an opportunity, so you secure their permission to proceed, obtain the necessary compliance details, and feel that buzz—you know you’re about to help someone take the next step in their career!
✅ Quick coffee break in our modern kitchen—maybe even grab an apple for a mid-morning boost. 🍏
📢 Making It Happen
✅ Time to call the veterinary practice and pitch your candidate. You follow our internal process, ensuring everything is lined up for success.
✅ Meanwhile, you continue sourcing additional options for your candidate, ensuring they have the best possible selection of opportunities.
✅ Before you know it—it’s lunchtime! Whether you go for a run around the beautiful grounds, a quick round of golf, a pub lunch, or just a walk by the river, the choice is yours.
🎉 Afternoon Wins & Big Moments
✅ You return from lunch recharged, and then—YES!—a client calls to arrange an interview for your candidate!
✅ You confirm the interview, send over the necessary paperwork, and prep your candidate to ensure they make a great impression.
✅ More calls, more emails, more veterinary professionals to help—the cycle continues, and every conversation brings another opportunity to change someone’s career.
✅ Quick break? Perhaps a walk outside to refresh before diving back in.
⏳ Wrapping Up the Day
✅ You follow up with clients and candidates, ensuring everything is progressing smoothly.
✅ Time to write tomorrow’s to-do list—you’re always one step ahead!
✅ You prep for an candidate calls that evening (this is the norm, but certainly not ever night)
✅ Oh, what’s this? A team meal out is planned? Fantastic! 🎉
If it’s Friday, we finish early and celebrate the week’s successes over a drink at the local pub. 🍻
