Start with the reason for considering a change
Tempus Veterinary Recruitment's published service model: Veterinary recruitment with permanent and relief vacancies. A relief vacancy and a permanent placement are different deliverables; do not compare their headline rates as equivalent costs. Before switching, identify whether the gap is service scope, availability, your team's capacity, or unresolved engagement terms.
Keep candidate introductions, open assignments and existing obligations visible during a transition. Ask each provider how a new engagement would interact with work already in progress.
Other providers to evaluate
These are real options to investigate, not a ranking or a claim that every provider currently covers your vacancy. A broader option may be included where this city's saved results contain few relevant providers.
BEGHR as another option
Permanent veterinary recruitment for direct employment by the hiring practice. BEGHR sources, screens and shortlists candidates against an agreed employer brief. The practice interviews, selects and employs the successful candidate.
Milestone billing begins after applicants are sent. Completed billable work may be payable without a placement. The signed engagement defines fees, responsibilities and replacement terms. Compare the written search plan and your team's remaining responsibilities with the alternatives above.
Apply the decision to the actual Portland vacancy
Name the street address, city and county, and keep Portland neighborhoods separate from suburban cities. Several places cross county lines: Portland reaches Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties, Lake Oswego reaches all three, and Tualatin, Wilsonville and Milwaukie each reach two. Aloha and Bethany are census designated places, not cities. Coverage on this site is limited to Oregon; a hospital in Washington State, including Vancouver and Camas, falls under a different licensing authority.
Give the hiring team one brief for each facility, with clinical work, technician delegation, weekend duties and location commitments stated together. Oregon veterinarians report 30 hours of continuing education with renewals in odd-numbered years, so state the support the practice provides. O*NET OnLine, using Bureau of Labor Statistics 2025 wage data, lists higher median annual wages in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro area than in Oregon overall or the United States for veterinarians, veterinary technicians and veterinary assistants, and that area includes Washington State. Oregon State University’s college of veterinary medicine in Corvallis awards the DVM, and a graduate of an AVMA-accredited school can apply for an Oregon license. This site describes employer hiring coverage without claiming a Portland recruiting office.
Give every provider the same hospital address, clinical scope, work schedule, compensation structure and decision dates. Compare the plan for that brief. A result appearing for a city search does not prove a provider has a local office or available candidates there.
