Our industry is becoming increasingly reliant on digital spaces, and our workforce is more tech-savvy, with 35% of veterinarians in the U.S. being millennials (and those numbers being larger for support roles). With this in mind, veterinary practices must adapt and become adept in this digital world. People only know you’re hiring if you meet them where they are. Below, we’ve listed the top 4 veterinary job boards and the benefits of each (ranked by priority):
| Job Board | Price | Candidate Demographics | Outbound Recruiting | Ease of Communication | Extras |
|---|
| 1. Scout by hound | $100/user/month (free profile creation, unlimited job postings, searches, and hires) | ✅ Veterinary-specific, so the candidates are quality | ✅ Provides a free, searchable directory of candidates | ✅ In-app chat and recruiting on paid plan (no getting lost in email inboxes) | Matching algorithm, photo uploads, and culture descriptions (and customized job promotions for an additional fee) |
| 2. Indeed | averages ~$200/job posting + $100/month subscription (pricing is dependent on your area, therefore making it hard to calculate MoM) | ❌ General population, meaning candidates are often lower quality (but still the most widely used in the industry) | ✅ Can get contact details and invite to apply, but only on paid plans | ⚠️ All contact takes place over email | Lots of free recruiting resources for beginners |
