I would say that hound is extremely creative in building solutions for what employers need, and just as focused on creating a unique candidate experience. It's a game-changer.

What are some challenges in veterinary medicine you're excited to see solved?

The shortage of veterinary talent paired with tools that aren't built for vet med makes recruiting harder than it needs to be. Other platforms aren't intuitive or fun, and teams lose hours to them.

If you've been in vet med for a while, you know that there historically hasn't been much focus in the industry on supporting people. We are changing that dynamic, and think what hound is building fully supports our initiatives.

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

Getting views on jobs is leading to upstream conversations with passive candidates.

Funny enough, we recently placed a doctor who was viewing our jobs but not applying. I received my custom notifications, reached out prior to her applying, and ended up relocating her for an open position that she hadn't seen yet.

The way Scout is built makes outreach feel non-committal, so candidates aren't scared to have a conversation. That matters.

Scout ultimately allows us to have more and better conversations with candidates.

Jessica also loves the practice profiles: pay transparency, appointment volume, team size, photos. Candidates get a real picture of what they're walking into.

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

I really appreciate that hound is so receptive and responsive. It is very refreshing to be able to say, 'Hey! I really like this feature, but here's an idea that would be great to have,' and then before you know it, that feature is in the product.

Getting started is easy, the product just works, and the open line of communication has made the whole partnership feel collaborative.
