The Perillo Group is a veterinary recruiting firm that recruits nationally for animal hospitals and veterinary practice groups, from our base in the Philadelphia area. The veterinarian shortage is not news to anyone who runs a practice: there are more open DVM seats than doctors to fill them, and the doctors who are open to a move are not reading job boards. We run direct hire searches built for that reality, approaching veterinarians and practice leaders directly, with the discretion a small professional community requires.
We recruit for independent animal hospitals and for multi location veterinary groups, in markets across the country.
Veterinary searches fail when they are run like ordinary postings: an ad up for months, a practice competing on the same job boards as every hospital in the state, and a doctor who was interested in March hired somewhere else by April. We run it the other way.
Every search we run is direct hire. There are no upfront fees, and every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the person does not work out in the first 90 days, we run the search again.
Veterinary medicine is a small, connected profession, and we recruit in it nationally, including the New York metro and markets across the East. A search handled clumsily in this community is remembered. We protect the reputations of the practices we represent and the doctors we approach, because we expect to talk to all of them again.
Tell us the role you need filled and we will tell you honestly what the market looks like for it, how long it should take, and what it will take to land the right doctor or leader. Call us at 215.528.4256 or send the role through our Request Talent page.

Nothing upfront. We work on a direct hire basis: you pay a fee only when your hire starts, agreed in writing before the search begins. If we do not fill the role, you do not pay for the search.
Associate veterinarians, credentialed veterinary technicians, veterinary assistants, and practice managers, for private practices and larger groups.
Our work is direct hire: permanent placements. If you need ongoing relief coverage, we can talk through whether a permanent hire would serve you better, but we do not staff temporary shifts.
Timing depends on the role and market; veterinarians are in short supply everywhere. Most clients see their first qualified candidates within days of the brief, and we will be straight with you about how competitive your market is.
Every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or is let go within the first 90 days, we run the replacement search at no additional fee.
No. Candidates never pay; the hiring practice pays our fee, and every conversation is confidential.
