Amazing experience

I had such an amazing experience. As soon as I uploaded my CV, I got contacted by David. Saying he went above and beyond for me is an understatement. David is the type of person who would rather speak to you directly, over the phone, to get to know you and understand what exactly you need and expect from your place of work. The next day after our telephone conversation he got me 3 interviews lined up (a few days later, 3 turned into 5) and made sure to get me the best deals out of every offer. We worked together and he is such an amazing advisor, sticking up for me and my needs. I fully trust him and if, in the future, I would need to seek for another job, I will whole heartedly turn to them again. I did land the job I needed. Also huge thanks to Olivia as well! I am so so grateful for everything you have done for me and wishing you the absolute best!

New Grad Experience

Both Abby and Adam were fantastic, quick to respond and also really took into account what exactly I was looking for. As soon as I’d mentioned to Abby I was interested in the charity/not-for-profit sector she quickly compiled a list of practices that might interest me. In doing that Abby introduced me to a company that I would quite literally describe as my dream job, and after some interviews (wonderfully set up by both Abby and Adam through the process) landed that job. As a new grad trying to find your first job can be really stressful but I felt at ease working with Vet Seekers as they took care of all the hard bits and all I had to do was talk about what I loved. Really grateful to them for this new opportunity!

Great experience overall! I contacted George in around March and very quickly I had interviews scheduled followed by trial shifts and employment ready for when I finish my studies in a very supportive practice. George was very attentive and quick to update with the ongoing process even receiving phone calls within minutes of leaving the practice! Can’t recommend enough.

Megan has been a tremendous help

Megan has been a tremendous help from the start, from silly questions to setting up interviews and organising all of the documents. Megan made sure everything was easy, stress free and the communication at all times was second to none. This was my first time using an agency to apply for jobs but once I had explained my must haves from a job Megan was able to, within 24 hours, find me a job that ticked all of the boxes and more! I highly recommend!

Professional and Friendly Recruitment Agency

Whilst investigating locum jobs I sent an email to Vet Seekers, within the hour I was speaking to one of their consultants, George. George was helpful, dillegent and responsive throughout the process of securing me a locum position, this was within a few days of my initial conversation with him. I would have no hesitation to approach Vet Seekers/George in the future for further locuming roles.

George - personalised service, best recruitment experience I’ve had as a locum!

George at Vet Seekers is by far THE BEST recruitment agent I have experienced. His communication is spot on, using my preferred methods and times and really tailored the experience to understand what I needed and found me great roles and gave me all the support I needed. I found a lot of recruiters really don’t give you the same experience and id be waiting months for a job to be offered, I really felt George understood what I needed and went above and beyond to deliver. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for locum work. Always a pleasant experience.

10/10

10/10 for this recruitment agency. David and Lucy are friendly, intuitive and highly experienced. I launched myself into a locum career after spending 4 years at my home practice. It was a daunting step and they helped me every step of the way. They listened carefully to my wishes and worries and always put my interests first. Whether you are a vet, nurse or veterinary practice, I’d highly recommend reaching out to the team! The recruitment agency is truly one of a kind.
