A Vet recently placed in a Permanent role:
"I had recently had some time off work after having children and was now looking for a new job. Using a recruitment agency hadn’t crossed my mind and I had certainly never considered that would be necessary with regards to finding veterinary jobs. However, I did have very specific work requirements (short commute time, flexible working hours, strong interest in internal medicine) and finding a practice that met all my criteria was not going to be easy. Then, during my own search for jobs, I stumbled across Rig Vet Recruitment. Despite my initial scepticism, and much to my surprise, the service they offered turned out to be fantastic. Not only were they well connected and able to provide up to date information regarding several suitable jobs, they also seemed to take care of everything else! They arranged interviews, mediated feedback between both parties and ultimately also helped out with regards to the discussion of terms and conditions. They basically took the stress out of the whole procedure by keeping in regular contact and always ensuring that I was happy with every stage of the recruitment process. In summary, they provided an exceptionally friendly and complete service and I would certainly recommend them to any other vets who are currently looking for work."
Vet Practice using RIG to recruit a new member of staff:
"I have not used a recruitment agency before, but my recent experience with RIG Vets has been nothing but positive.
I found them completely supportive, honest, approachable, and understanding, and I would whole - heartedly recommend them to anyone looking to find a new vet for their practice.
RIG Vets has the communication skills, industry knowledge, and determination to act as an excellent mediation service between prospective employee and employer saving you valuable time. I believe they do have the ability to deliver.
I will not hesitate to use their services again."

“I have recently used RIG Vet Recruitment for the first time. The quality of candidates was exactly what we were looking for and the efficient way in which the interviewing schedule was handled enabled us to make appoint somebody within the space of two weeks.
I would certainly use RIG again if a suitable vacancy arose.”
Candidate using RIG to find a commerial role
“RIG\'s hard work and support was very much appreciated in assisting me into finding a new career. Their was knowledgeable and it felt like all the hard work was done for me (which it was)!!
They were prompt and conscientious, always returning my calls and also when acting as a go between with me and my new employers.
They were encouraging and supportive when i was uncertain and helped the transition into my role a smooth operation.
Given the fact i had little experience in my new sector or job experience, i believe that my success was greatly down to RIG that i was able to secure the position (and the salary i wanted!)”
A happy Vet placed recently in a permanent position...
"Working with RIG Vets was an easy and enjoyable experience from start to finish. The whole team and, in particular, Lee McAndrews, were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Lee maintained very regular contact with me to keep me informed of the latest vacancies and other developments. With his help and guidance I found a job with the right practice and have not looked back since. Lee handled all the negotiations and made my transition into the new job a smooth and easy one and he has continued to provide support ever since.
Having initially been reluctant to use a recruitment agency, I cannot recommend RIG Vets highly enough for their friendly and professional service and I would have no hesitation in using them again."
