Open Doors: The Inclusive Hiring and Recruitment Toolkit

Rethink who you hire—and how.

With workforce shortages, veterinary recruitment is competitive. Yet in veterinary medicine, many job ads send the wrong signals—often without realising it. Language that seems neutral can unintentionally exclude. Requirements that seem standard can create barriers. And processes that feel familiar may be quietly filtering out the very talent you say you want to attract.

Open Doors is Vetquity’s sector-specific toolkit to change that.
It’s designed for practice owners, recruiters, HR teams, and hiring managers who want to walk their talk—and build a veterinary workforce where more people belong.

Whether you’re crafting a job ad, forming a hiring panel, or onboarding a new team member, this toolkit helps you spot hidden biases, remove unintentional barriers, and attract the people your current process might be missing.

What’s inside:

• Inclusive job ad and interview templates

• Clear checklists for bias-aware hiring

• Guidance on accessibility, disclosure safety, and flexible work design

• A team-ready self-audit to track your progress and spark reflection

Not just compliant. Culture-shifting.
Practical, honest, and designed to give your workplace a competitive edge in a changing veterinary workforce landscape.
