Veterinary Clinic Staffing Expansion: Pulivarthi Group Addresses Critical DVM Shortage Across U.S. Clinics
Specialized veterinary clinic staffing agency reports 21-day average DVM fill time. This is three times faster than the industry standard as nationwide demand surges.
TEGA CAY, S.C., March 17, 2026 — Veterinary clinic staffing is at a crisis point. Pulivarthi Group today announced the expansion of its dedicated vet hiring services. The agency meets rising demand for licensed veterinarians, vet techs, and board-certified specialists. As a result, clinics receive a qualified shortlist within one business day.
Pulivarthi Group has placed more than 1,800 DVMs and veterinary technicians since 2015. These placements span 200-plus clinics across the United States and Canada. Furthermore, the company fills DVM positions in an average of 21 days. In comparison, generalist staffing agencies take 60 to 180 days for the same roles.
“The veterinary workforce shortage is one of the most pressing challenges in animal healthcare today,” said the Pulivarthi Group leadership team. “We built our veterinary clinic staffing model specifically for this space. Therefore, our clients receive pre-screened, credentialed candidates within one business day.”
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) projects that veterinary demand will outpace DVM supply through the end of the decade. Moreover, rural clinics and emergency hospitals face the steepest shortfalls. Some facilities report vacancies open for over a year.
What Sets Pulivarthi Group Veterinary Clinic Staffing Apart
Pulivarthi Group maintains a pre-screened talent pool across all practice types. This pool covers companion animal clinics, equine hospitals, and everything in between. In addition, every candidate undergoes state veterinary board verification. DEA controlled-substance background checks are standard as well. Specialty board confirmation through ACVIM and ACVS is included for specialist roles.
The agency places the following roles: DVMs and associate veterinarians, registered veterinary technicians and assistants, board-certified specialists in surgery and internal medicine, emergency and critical care veterinarians, equine and avian practitioners, and practice managers. Furthermore, placements are available as permanent, contract, locum, or per-diem hires.
Supporting Equity in Veterinary Clinic Staffing
Pulivarthi Group connects clinics with candidates from diverse backgrounds. Consequently, clinics gain access to talent that reflects the communities they serve. In addition, recruitment processes are designed to reduce bias. The goal is to surface the most qualified professionals, regardless of background.
