In this role, you’ll help engage and build relationships with:

You’ll also have opportunities to support conference recruiting efforts, industry networking events, campus outreach initiatives, and employer branding projects that help position Alliance as a growing leader in Emergency, Specialty, and Urgent Care veterinary medicine.

• Conducting warm outreach, networking, and strategic candidate engagement efforts
• Supporting relocation recruiting strategies through personalized market and lifestyle messaging
• Creating “keep warm” communication plans for externs, passive candidates, and delayed-start candidates
• Helping generate referral candidates through ongoing relationship management and outreach
• Creating memorable candidate experiences through personalized follow-up communication, handwritten notes, and post-visit engagement
• Supporting conference and industry recruiting initiatives including events such as IVECCS and campus recruiting activities
• Assisting with employer branding initiatives focused on ER, Specialty, and Urgent Care medicine
• Partnering with recruitment leadership on sourcing strategy, pipeline development, and talent engagement
• Gathering market intelligence related to compensation trends, candidate motivations, and industry movement
