Veterinary Staffing Solutions That Prioritize Care, Compliance, and Cost Control

At Nava Healthcare Recruitment, we support animal hospitals, veterinary clinics, and specialty care providers with credentialed professionals who bring clinical competence and compassionate care to every shift. We build sustainable staffing solutions that reduce turnover, protect compliance, and strengthen your team for the long haul.

We work with a wide range of veterinary organizations including  busy urban clinics, 24/7 emergency hospitals and specialty surgical centers. We understand the real  pressures you face in-clinic, including staffing gaps, burnout, rising costs, and the need for licensed professionals who know how to work with both animals and their owners.

Why Veterinary Staffing Demands a Long-Term Strategy

Veterinary care teams face challenges that standard staffing solutions often overlook. Seasonal volume spikes, sudden emergencies, and rising caseloads can leave critical gaps in coverage. High turnover among DVMs, licensed technicians, and support staff adds pressure to already stretched teams. Many clinics also struggle to find credentialed professionals who not only meet licensure requirements but also understand the rhythm, culture, and emotional intensity of animal care. All of this is compounded by the long-term financial burden of relying on agency contracts as a default solution.

At Nava, we address these challenges with a long-term, compliance-first approach. Our recruitment process emphasizes:

• Credentialing based on state veterinary board requirements
• Matching candidates to practice culture and communication style
• Clear pathways to long-term staffing stability, including:
  • Reclaimix – a transition program that helps you convert agency staff already working in your facility into in-house employees, reducing dependency on costly agency contracts
  • NurseSphere – a full-service international recruitment solution, handling everything from interviews to immigration and relocation, with candidates contractually committed to three years of employment.

Roles We Staff in Veterinary and Animal Care Facilities

At Nava, we staff for the full range of roles required to run a responsive, licensed, and compassionate veterinary care environment. On the clinical side, we place licensed veterinarians (DVMs) for general practice, emergency, specialty, and relief roles. Our veterinary technicians (LVT, RVT, CVT) are credentialed according to each state’s licensing board and are selected for surgical support, anesthesia, ICU experience, and more. We also recruit veterinary assistants with strong skills in triage, animal handling, and client-facing care, as well as ER-trained staff for high-pressure, after-hours, and trauma cases.

On the administrative side, we provide experienced practice managers who oversee workflows, EMR systems, and staffing models. We also place front desk coordinators trained in platforms like eVetPractice and Cornerstone, billing and insurance specialists who understand pet insurance workflows, and kennel technicians and animal care attendants who support hands-on care and operational safety.

We also recruit for specialty roles such as rehabilitation technicians, mobile surgical teams, palliative care support, and grief counselors trained for end-of-life client communication.

Our Process: Built for Compliance, Culture, and Continuity

Every candidate we present is thoroughly vetted to ensure they meet both clinical and cultural standards. We check licensing databases to verify credentials, assist with certification requirements, and conduct reference checks when needed.

But we don’t stop there. We assess communication skills, emotional intelligence, and the ability to build rapport in high-stress or client-facing settings. We also consider language fit, including bilingual capability, to support smoother integration with your team and your clients.
