Numbers reflect placements through Q1 2026. Methodology available on request.
Veterinary and behavioral-health staffing is our specialty. Adjacent healthcare placements — hospitals, long-term care, allied health, dental — are where we extend that same credentialing rigor when it adds value.
Generic healthcare staffing treats your specialty as a line item. We don’t. Here’s what specialty depth actually looks like.
Veterinary placements include state veterinary board verification, DEA controlled-substance background checks, and specialty board confirmation (ACVIM, ACVS, ACVO, ABVP) when relevant. Mental health placements include multi-state license tracking, NLC and PSYPACT awareness, and payer-panel credentialing support.
Because we specialise in placing vet and behavioral-health professionals, our talent pool is pre-screened and ready. Most roles get a tailored shortlist within one business day. Average time-to-fill is 21 days for critical roles — versus 60+ days for generic agencies on vet roles and 90-180 days on psychiatric NP openings.
Veterinary: state veterinary board licensing, OSHA, and DEA controls reviewed during screening. Behavioral health: HIPAA, multi-state telehealth licensing, and clinical credential verification (LCSW, LMSW, LCPC, BCBA) handled as part of standard process.
Veterinary: DVMs, vet techs (LVT/RVT/CVT), CSRs, practice managers, board-certified specialists across internal medicine, surgery, dermatology, oncology, ophthalmology — plus equine, food-animal, and exotics. Mental health: psychiatrists, psychiatric NPs, LCSWs, LMSWs, psychologists (PhD/PsyD), ABA therapists, behavioral health techs, mobile crisis clinicians, and addiction counselors.
Permanent, contract, locum/relief, fractional, or per-diem placements — same specialist team handles every model. Contingent fees quoted up front. Staged retainer available on critical or hard-to-fill roles. No 12-month exclusive contracts.
We continue credentialing and onboarding support past placement — including payer-panel enrollment for behavioral-health hires and continuing-education tracking for vet placements. Retention check-ins through the first year help spot fit issues early.
