Anyone who has hired a veterinarian within the past few years knows what a difficult process this can be. There are many different reasons for this: doctors are comfortable at their current jobs and are not looking for work, more doctors are retiring, burnout is causing doctors to leave the profession, and there are more jobs available than there are veterinarians. "There are presently about 7,000 openings for veterinarians across the country, and not enough veterinary professionals to fill these positions."1
I have worked with numerous veterinary hospitals to help them recruit and hire veterinarians. One of the common things I have heard from the hospital ownership is they want to find someone who has at least "one to three years of experience." While finding an experienced candidate might be ideal, it is also very difficult.
