What the recruiting engagement covers
Confirm the scope with BEGHR before authorizing work. Permanent placement supports an employer hiring directly; it is not a promise of temporary staff or an available candidate inventory.
- Identify which sourcing and screening tasks BEGHR will perform.
- Set interview ownership and a process for timely feedback.
- Confirm fees, milestones and responsibilities in the written engagement.
Prepare the role brief
Write down the information a candidate needs to evaluate the position before the search begins.
- List the hospitals and travel expectations within the role.
- Define authority across clinical quality, people and operational decisions.
- Agree reporting relationships and how hospital leaders will be supported.
Plan the work location in Columbus.
Name the municipality, county and street address. The Census Bureau 2020 place-by-county file lists Columbus in Franklin, Delaware and Fairfield counties, and Dublin, Westerville, New Albany, Pickerington and Reynoldsburg also cross county lines. Lewis Center is a mailing address in Orange Township and not a municipality. Coverage on this site is limited to Ohio; a hospital in Georgia, Indiana or another state falls under a different licensing board.
Give the hiring team one brief for each facility, with clinical work, support staffing, weekend duties and any second site stated together. BLS’s May 2025 OEWS lists 850 veterinarians and 1,050 veterinary technologists and technicians in the Columbus, OH metropolitan area, and the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine is based in Columbus. Those figures describe the market, not candidate availability, and BEGHR has no relationship with the university. This site describes employer hiring coverage without claiming a Columbus recruiting office.
Review Columbus-area recruiting coverage →Plan Ohio credential checks before the start date.
Ohio licenses veterinarians and registers veterinary technicians through the Ohio Veterinary Medical Licensing Board, and eLicense Ohio shows the status of a license or registration. Assign a person to check each doctor and technician, record the date and resolve questions with the Board. Check any specialty credential with the issuing organization, because Ohio law ties the specialist title to recognized certification.
