Practice Manager Recruitment
Successful growth depends on hiring the right team to bring your vision to life. Our recruitment support service helps you hire your next practice manager and build the most important axis in the practice - the owner-manager team.
Working alongside Dr. Dave Nicol, we support you throughout the recruitment process with practical guidance, candidate assessment, interview support, and leadership expertise designed to help you make the right hire for your practice.
The best practice managers focus on the operational and managerial responsibilities that drive real growth - leaving you free to focus on the high-value strategic work that only the practice owner can deliver.
What We Do
Strategic Recruitment Support
We work alongside veterinary practice owners throughout the recruitment process - helping you make clearer, more confident hiring decisions with experienced leadership guidance and practical support.
Smarter Hiring
Using structured assessment, leadership insight, and advanced interview techniques, we help reduce costly hiring mistakes and improve your chances of finding the right long-term fit for your practice.
Leadership & Culture Fit
Technical skill matters, but long-term success depends on leadership style, communication, accountability, and cultural alignment. We help you assess the whole picture.
Our Services
Our Recruitment Support Service combines veterinary leadership experience, strategic recruitment guidance, and practical hiring support to help you make better leadership hires for your practice.
Rather than acting as a traditional recruitment agency, we work alongside you throughout the hiring process - helping you clarify the role, attract the right candidates, assess leadership and culture fit, and avoid costly hiring mistakes.
Whether you need support writing a job advert, building a recruitment campaign, improving your interview process, or hiring a key operational leader, we can tailor the level of support to your practice’s needs.
Most recruitment support projects involve between 8 - 15 hours of collaboration depending on the complexity of the role and recruitment campaign.
If you'd like to explore whether we're the right fit for your practice, get in touch and we'd be happy to arrange a conversation.

Why Use Us?
Expertise You Can Trust
Hiring isn’t your speciality - it’s ours.
We bring years of veterinary leadership and recruitment experience to help you avoid costly hiring mistakes, attract the right people, and make confident decisions throughout the process.
Time-Saving
Stop wasting time on ineffective ads or fruitless interviews. We support the recruitment process from role design and candidate sourcing through to interviews and onboarding - helping take the pressure and admin off your plate.
Focused on Results
Our recruitment process is designed to find leaders who won’t just fill a role, but help your practice move forward.
The right hire can strengthen your culture, support your team, and take much of the daily management burden away from you.
The Process
Every service we offer begins with a deep dive into what makes your practice unique. We take the time to understand the role, the skills required to succeed in it, and the vision and culture of your practice. This allows us to help you define a detailed candidate avatar and shape a targeted recruitment campaign that connects with the right people. Throughout the process, we work alongside you - supporting candidate review, interviews, hiring decisions, and onboarding planning - including a personalised coaching session with Dr. Dave Nicol to help set your new leader up for success from day one.
Preparation
We help you create a job specification based on your input and create an ideal candidate avatar.
Assessment
We review and assess candidates against the avatar using our comprehensive recruitment processes.
Deep Analysis
Using advanced NLP interview techniques and personality testing, we help analyze candidates’ values, motivations, and work styles to assess fit.
Candidate Presentation
We help you identify candidates who match your needs and culture, with the potential to become strong leaders within your practice.
Onboarding Support
We’ll review and give feedback on your onboarding plan, helping ensure your new teammate is set up for success.
Our Expertise
We specialize in supporting the hiring of practice managers and clinical leaders, focusing on the leadership roles that can make the biggest impact on your practice. While our primary focus is leadership recruitment support, we also offer a job advert writing service to help practices improve their reach and attract stronger candidates in a competitive market.
Our Methods
Marketing Approach
Attracting the right candidates requires more than posting a job advert. We help you build a recruitment campaign around a clear understanding of your practice, your culture, and the kind of person you want to attract - helping you reach candidates who genuinely align with your vision.
NLP Techniques
Our advanced neurolinguistic programming (NLP) techniques help uncover a candidate’s deeper motivations, communication patterns, and work style beyond standard interview answers.
Personality Testing
We use a range of personality assessments, including DISC, EQ, and Belbin, to help give you a broader understanding of each candidate and how they may fit within your team and culture.
Our Recruiter Service Guarantee
We take great pride in the quality of support we provide and understand what a commitment it is to invest in recruitment support. That’s why we offer the following guarantee on our full recruitment support service. If your hire leaves within the first 3 months, we will either support you through a replacement process free of charge or refund your fee in line with our refund policy.
