theVetShop.com launches

In a profession that has been relatively slow in its uptake of internet technology, theVetShop.com offers a range of services and functionality to veterinary employers and jobseekers, such as the ability to place job advertisements online; a job-search facility that can search on criteria such as location, animal types and experience level; a Jobs-By-Email service that can match job adverts to your requirements and send them to your email address as they get placed; and the ability to create online CVs, which employers can browse through for suitable staff.

By focusing its recruitment strategy on the internet, the company intends to take advantage of several important current trends, such as:

the increasing number of veterinary practices and clinics with internet access;
the considerable shift in the recruitment process towards using the internet as a primary medium due to its faster, cheaper and more readily available nature;
an increased level of computer-literate and internet-savvy veterinary professionals.

theVetShop finally brings the recruitment aspect of the veterinary profession up to speed with that of other professions, if it hasn''t leap-frogged a few others in the process.
