Recruiter

Summary
I'm a Senior Veterinarian Recruiter with Veterinary Practice Partners (VPP), hiring both experienced and new graduate DVMs across New York, Connecticut, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. I manage the full cycle from initial outreach to start, partnering closely with partner doctors, hospital leadership, and operations teams to match skills, schedule goals, and mentorship needs. At VPP, we take a unique partnership approach. We co-own veterinary practices with doctors, managing non-clinical operations like HR, finance, and operations while allowing each hospital to maintain autonomy. This model keeps veterinary medicine in the hands of doctors-where it belongs. My work goes beyond filling roles. I'm passionate about connecting veterinarians with opportunities that align with their professional and personal goals, whether in general practice, urgent care, or exotic medicine. I use data, structured processes, and consistent followup to keep candidates informed and moving. Recent wins include expanding new graduate pipelines, filling positions in challenging markets, and improving offer acceptance through transparent guidance. Candidates appreciate my responsiveness, honesty, and organization, while hospital leaders value my attention to detail and communication. If you're a veterinarian exploring your next chapter -or a hospital leader planning to grow your team-let's connect and compare what you're looking for with the many opportunities across the VPP network. Let's chat and see where your next opportunity might lead.
