Goodvet is a Toronto-based recruitment service focused on connecting veterinary professionals with veterinary clinics and hospitals across Canada. The firm works with fully licensed veterinarians, veterinary technicians and graduates or students from AVMA-accredited veterinary programs, with an emphasis on finding practices where professional values, clinical interests and workplace culture align. For practice owners, Goodvet acts as a recruitment partner, taking time to learn about the clinic's culture, clinical team and staffing priorities before reaching out to professionals who may fit. The goal is a lasting working relationship rather than simply filling a vacancy. For veterinarians and veterinary technicians, Goodvet offers career discussions, introductions through its employer network, coordination of interviews, consideration of available opportunities and support in negotiating job offers. Professionals can maintain contact with the firm even when they are not actively planning to change jobs. Goodvet also assists qualifying graduates of AVMA-accredited programs who are exploring the process of moving to Canada to practise. Goodvet does not charge candidates for representation. Its public website directs prospective employers and professionals to an inquiry form; no complete public job board or individually described current vacancies were confirmed during this review. Goodvet was founded by Rachelle Richard, whose recruitment and operations background informs its relationship-focused approach. The firm also maintains connections with veterinary students through a student ambassador programme and partnerships with accredited veterinary schools in Canada and internationally. This allows it to introduce clinics to graduates and professionals, including through proactive relationships formed before a formal vacancy is advertised.
