Always Be Hiring: Trends + Retention Lessons for Vet Practices with Stacy Pursell
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hiring in veterinary medicine is still competitive — but the rules are changing. In this episode, Tom Seeko sits down with Stacy Pursell, founder and CEO of The VET Recruiter, to unpack what veterinary employers need to understand right now about hiring, retention, culture, and leadership.
Stacy shares how she became the first recruiter in the U.S. to specialize exclusively in animal health and veterinary recruiting, what she’s seeing in today’s candidate-driven market, and why employer branding matters more than ever.
You’ll also hear practical insights on:
- Why “retention starts on day one” (and what many practices miss with onboarding)
- The role of communication, clarity, and leadership presence in reducing turnover
- Why flexibility, workplace culture, and support staff impact hiring success
- What “Always Be Hiring” really looks like — and how a talent pipeline helps you stay ahead
