Hire Animal Health Industry Professionals

For close to 30 years, Stacy Pursell, CPC/CERS, founder of The VET Recruiter, and her team have helped companies throughout the Animal Health industry recruit exceptional talent across virtually every business function and market segment. While The VET Recruiter is well known for Veterinary recruiting, the firm’s expertise extends far beyond clinical positions to support pharmaceutical companies, diagnostics organizations, animal nutrition manufacturers, biotechnology firms, pet technology companies, medical device manufacturers, distributors, research organizations, and many other Animal Health employers.
In fact, we started our search practice on the Animal Health industry side back in the 1990s and expanded to the Veterinary profession shortly after. Our first client was a Fortune 500 pet food company that needed to hire an executive to lead its pet food business. That is where it all began, close to 30 years ago. Stacy Pursell started her executive search career filling executive roles for Fortune 500 companies in the consumer-packaged goods and food and beverage industries.

Every search at The VET Recruiter is customized to the client’s culture, leadership team, products, and long-term business objectives. Whether you’re building an executive leadership team, expanding your commercial organization, strengthening research and development, or recruiting technical specialists, The VET Recruiter provides Animal Health and Veterinary industry expertise and a professional network to identify outstanding talent. We have an expansive network of relationships and contacts throughout the Animal Health industry and Veterinary profession.
