Manager, Talent Acquisition

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Manager of Recruiting to lead and execute talent acquisition across VetnCare. This is a player/coach style role—about 60% hands-on recruiting (split between para-professional roles like RVTs, VAs, and CSRs, and DVM roles) and 40% strategic oversight of our recruiting function and team.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in both operational execution and strategic leadership. You’ll roll up your sleeves to source and hire great talent, while mentoring recruiters and partnering cross-functionally to scale hiring across our hospitals.

What you’ll do:

• Lead full-cycle recruiting for DVM and para-professional roles across our hospital network
• Oversee and support the recruitment function and team, ensuring alignment with business goals
• Build and maintain strong partnerships with DVM schools, internship coordinators, and student groups to strengthen our long-term talent pipeline
• Represent VetnCare at career fairs, networking events, and veterinary school engagements
• Partner with hospital leaders and the People Team to assess workforce needs and forecast hiring plans
• Use creative sourcing strategies, proactive outreach, and referral pipelines to attract high-quality candidates
• Optimize our recruiting processes, ensuring speed, quality, and consistency across all touchpoints
• Coach, mentor, and support a small team of recruiters focused on clinical hiring
• Implement and leverage modern recruiting tools, ATS platforms, and AI sourcing technologies
• Collaborate on employer branding efforts and local recruitment marketing campaigns
• Track key recruiting metrics, deliver insights, and iterate strategies based on performance.
• Champion inclusive hiring practices and help us build diverse, values-aligned teams
