Can you turn a targeted search into a successful veterinary hire? At CVS Vets, we're looking for a hands-on Resourcing Partner who knows how to identify, engage and appoint Veterinary Surgeons and Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) for our practices. Direct sourcing is the core of this role—not an occasional activity alongside managing applications or recruitment agencies. You'll proactively build relationships with people who may not be actively looking, understand what matters to them and connect them with the right opportunities at CVS Vets.

What you'll do

• Take ownership of direct sourcing for veterinary surgeon and RVN vacancies, from initial market mapping and candidate outreach through to offer and acceptance.
• Build targeted sourcing plans using professional networks, LinkedIn, CV databases, referrals, Boolean searches and relevant veterinary communities.
• Write personalised outreach that starts meaningful conversations with passive candidates, rather than relying on job adverts or incoming applications.
• Develop and nurture talent pipelines for current vacancies and future hiring needs, maintaining consistent, relevant follow-up.
• Partner with hiring managers to understand each practice, clinical team and vacancy, agree realistic requirements and communicate the opportunity accurately.
• Qualify candidates' experience, motivations, professional registration requirements and practical preferences, helping both sides make informed decisions.
• Coordinate interviews, maintain engagement throughout the process and support offer discussions and onboarding handovers.
• Track sourcing activity, response rates, pipeline conversion and directly sourced hires, using the results to improve your approach.
• Maintain accurate recruitment records and handle candidate information responsibly.

What you'll bring

• Essential: demonstrable experience successfully filling roles in a medical or associated discipline through direct sourcing
• Practical expertise in identifying and engaging passive veterinary candidates, supported by examples of the search methods and outreach approaches you used.
• Experience managing recruitment from vacancy briefing to accepted offer, gained in an in-house or agency environment.
• An understanding of veterinary recruitment, clinical role requirements and the factors that influence candidates' decisions.
• The ability to build credible relationships with candidates and hiring managers, keep conversations moving and provide clear updates.
• An organised, persistent approach to managing multiple vacancies and maintaining longer-term candidate relationships.
• Confidence using recruitment systems and sourcing data to prioritise activity and demonstrate results.
