what our customers say

We can tell you about the amazing things we can do for your business, but we think our customers can tell you better. After all, what they think is what really matters.

I just wanted to pass across some feedback with regards to Lauren and the service she provides to us here at IVC. As I’m sure you know she has one hell of a tough job working in Referrals which lets face it, isn’t for everyone. From my first call with her to now (and hopefully beyond) she has been absolutely formidable and is a testament to what recruitment should be.

To date she has provided some outstanding candidates and the pipeline for future hires is also looking very promising. However, too often people focus on the results within this industry and not on all the work going on in the background. Lauren has provided some great insights into the market, suggested some fantastic out of the box ideas to better her own and our knowledge and nothing has ever been too much trouble. Candidates wise, you can tell she genuinely cares about those she is working with and will go above and beyond to provide them with the best service.

She blows your competition out of the water and is a real asset to your team.

Having worked with Recruit4vets for the past year, I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any Veterinary business requiring support from an agency for specialist roles.

I have worked with Vets Now for the past 3 years. In my first 2 years with the business we stopped using agencies entirely as we had been let down so many times by consultants over promising and under delivering. Additionally, we have an extensive team of 8 Talent Partners who focus specifically on clinical recruitment so we never felt the need to look outside of our business for support.

When we met the team at Recruit4vets we were naturally cynical due to our previous exposure to veterinary recruitment agencies however we bought in to them and decided to give them the opportunity to work one of our priority vacancies.

Their approach to their work is admirable. It is apparent with every interaction how much they care about their role, their clients and their candidates. They are a company we trust to represent our brand and have confidence that we will be presented with candidates that are fully informed about our business and our roles.

We hired one of Recruit4vets candidates earlier this year as a Referral Surgeon in our Glasgow hospital. The whole process from taking the job spec to the candidate relocating from Croatia and starting work was such a seamless process. We carried out various stages in the recruitment process together including organising visits to the hospital and meet the team days etc. Recruit4vets worked as an extension of our team throughout the whole journey.

It has been a real pleasure working with Recruit4vets over the years. They are consummate professionals, and always have the clients’ interests at heart. They are detail driven; however apply this with a common sense approach. I trust them implicitly and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them and the support they provide.
