What are some challenges in Vet Med you're excited to see solved?

Vet med is behind in terms of tech and HR solutions, and the growing talent shortage means the industry has to do better at taking care of the people who work in it.

We have to encourage the industry as a whole that we can do better in taking care of the people who work in Vet Med. This is the biggest challenge we face with no great short-term solution.
Courtney Hamilton, LVT

Courtney loves that hound is building squarely for veterinary medicine, where other platforms ignore the industry entirely.

What excites me most is that it's a niche solution creating a better experience for recruiters, employers, and employees alike.

What are some magic moments you've had on scout?

The best thing is the candidate movement driven by tailored notifications and insights shown on profile cards.

How cool is it that you're able to tap into a new pool of talent that might not be actively searching, but they've viewed one of your open jobs multiple times, and you receive those notifications. This is a great indicator and touchpoint to start a conversation.
Courtney Hamilton, LVT

With this visibility, Encore has been able to schedule a lot of interviews and hire. Other platforms have outdated resume banks, but Scout lets them search, qualify, and connect seamlessly.

What has been your favorite part of working with us so far?

The ease of use, the level of support, and the abundance of talent. The talent pool makes it easy to screen and qualify candidates relevant to every open position.

Hound support is next to none, we've never felt so heard. Hound really cares and truly shows us they want us to continue making successful hires and we truly value that. At hound, they're subject matter experts and listen to all our feedback. What's crazy is when we share feedback or requests and see it added to hound within weeks.
