Fur Ever Friends Vet Clinic, Pasadena, FL

I really didn’t know where to start with the process and Bobbie, my Talent Acquisition Specialist, was so helpful. I also found it so helpful to have someone who had experience with hiring filter through the candidates so I could invest my time with the “cream of the crop.” Bobbie’s availability was fantastic. She responded so quickly to emails and allowed me to text her frequently. She also spent time explaining the process to me which I greatly appreciated.

Sonoran Sky Pet Hospital, Phoenix, AZ

Blue Heron Consulting made the impossible possible. They have truly gone above and beyond every step of the way; from being flexible with the many time changes during the hiring process, addressing all my concerns and not just about the job but living arrangements and lifestyle as well, to ensuring smooth travels and a warm welcome upon arrival, Blue Heron has made this huge move and transition as seamless as possible. The team at Blue Heron continues to be there to support with any questions and regularly follows up to ensure everything is going well. Having such a supportive and understating team in my corner has helped ease all the stressors and anxieties that moving will inevitably evoke and I am so grateful to have the pleasure of working with the Blue Heron team and for them helping make my dream a reality.

Christina Erdman, DVM, Hired Small Animal Veterinarian

The BHC hiring team was very professional, engaging, and easy to work with and made the hiring process so smooth from start to finish – from making a beautiful job ad, to diligent active recruiting to guidance through the candidate interview to hire process. I definitely feel like having such a great team and resources on our side gave as a true edge and advantage in a very competitive recruitment market. Since culture and fit are of the utmost importance, I loved the way the team dived deep into who are and what we’re about – they were able to capture that and convey it to potential candidates to identify a quality candidate quickly.

Boise Cat Clinic, Boise, ID

This service provides an overwhelmed Practice Manager much needed assistance. When you are short staffed, the PM often steps in to fill a position and that makes it even more difficult to set aside the time needed to find the right candidate for a job. They have done a terrific job helping us find applicants for technicians and doctors. Without BHC’s Hiring Services we would not have found multiple new support staff team members and a DVM.

Kauai Veterinary Clinic, Lihue, HI

I have talked to other recruiters and practice managers, and this was the only interview where the recruiter asked me what I want instead of trying to sell the job.

Hired Small Animal Veterinarian

Amazing team with excellent customer service. An absolute pleasure to work with.

Lange Veterinary Hospital, Sherman, TX

We are very satisfied with BHC’s Hiring Services. Working with BHC made hiring multiple DVMs  so much more doable while simultaneously working in a hospital. It took the effort of recruiting completely off my list of responsibilities, and made it so I knew I was spending time meeting with promising candidates. Hiring DVMs is a lot of work, so having somebody doing the recruiting, making first contact, and ensuring clear communication was a huge help.

Alpine Animal Hospital, Pocatello, ID

BHC is a great service for young professionals who don’t know where to start. They are friendly and caring and will make the process of getting hired easy and stress free. BHC is a great service for those who are overwhelmed with job opportunities after vet school.

Danny Tapia, DVM, Hired Small Animal Veterinarian

We had a very positive experience, and felt very fortunate that BHC was able to find us a new Associate that was not only a perfect fit, but was also located and hired in less than 4 months! Their fee schedule was very fair and transparent, and they provided great support and lots of beneficial suggestions throughout the whole process!

Aspen Veterinary Hospital, Flagstaff, CO

BHC has done a great job handling my job ads, phone interviews, and documentation.  It saved me so much time – I don’t have to go through the piles of resumes/applicants (especially for the CSR position).  They also handle the references/background check (if applicable).  They saved me a lot of time and frustration.  Bobbie is so easy to work with; she was the one who was my point of contact.  I have always done my own recruiting, job ads, screening, references, etc., so having BHC do it for me was amazing.

The Pony Express Veterinary Clinic, Xenia, OH

BHC Hiring Services asked great questions during my interview, and I felt like they really got to know me and were not only interested in filling the position, but also making sure that I would be happy there and be a ‘good fit’.

Hired Small Animal Veterinarian

The Hiring Services team had great communication and was flexible with their process to meet our needs. Our hospital couldn’t devote the time needed to recruit for ourselves and the BHC Hiring Services team proved to be a great resource.

Companion Animal Clinic, Gilbert, IA

You are by far the best recruiters I have ever worked with!

Caring Hands Animal Hospitals of Maryland and Northern Virginia, Washington, DC Metro Area

BHC Veterinary Hiring Services found me the only clinic thus far that I genuinely felt excited about the possibility of working with! The hospital really aligns perfectly with my core beliefs and mentalities.

BHC Hiring Services found me an LVT when I didn’t think it was possible!

Small Animal Veterinary Practice, New York

BHC did the whole process well. From my initial call to inquire about the hiring process, to finding very good CVPM candidates. They were all very professional and extremely helpful. I would recommend BHC Hiring Services highly. Kind, courteous and helpful.
