The service-model comparison
| Decision | BEGHR | Tempus Veterinary Recruitment |
|---|---|---|
| Service model | Permanent veterinary recruitment for direct employment by the hiring practice. | Veterinary recruitment with permanent and relief vacancies |
| Published scope | BEGHR sources, screens and shortlists candidates against an agreed employer brief. The practice interviews, selects and employs the successful candidate. | Its US site lists associate, medical director and specialist opportunities, with permanent and relief work and multiple species/practice categories. Provider source |
| Commercial terms | 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. | Request a proposal for the same role, location and deliverables. Public service information is not a quote; confirm payment triggers, cancellation and replacement or conversion terms. |
| Key question | Which milestones are billable if our search stops without a hire, and what screening evidence will the shortlist contain? | Will the engagement cover permanent recruitment, relief coverage, or both, and will each have separate terms? |
Which approach fits the decision?
Consider Tempus Veterinary Recruitment: Consider Tempus when you want a veterinary-focused provider to discuss both an ongoing hire and interim coverage.
Consider BEGHR: if you want to evaluate an outsourced permanent search for a veterinarian, specialist or clinical leader and can assign an employer team to interview and make the final hiring decision. Review the milestone obligations alongside the sourcing scope.
Tradeoff to resolve: A relief vacancy and a permanent placement are different deliverables; do not compare their headline rates as equivalent costs.
There is no overall winner established by these public descriptions. Compare written proposals, relevant examples the providers are permitted to share and the work your own team can complete.
Apply the decision to the actual San Jose vacancy
Santa Clara County has 15 incorporated cities, and San Jose is only one of them. Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Los Gatos and the others are cities in their own right, so keep each opening tied to its municipality. Fremont and Newark are in Alameda County, and East Palo Alto and Menlo Park are in San Mateo County, so they are outside this site’s coverage. Identify any rotation between San Jose, the northern cities, the West Valley or South County, and let candidates judge their own travel against actual shift times.
Describe the clinical service, support team, work address and schedule together. For a specialist, separate established facilities from planned investment; for a medical director, explain the clinical and management split and who hires associates. A role that moves between San Jose and another city needs an explicit site list and schedule. This site describes employer hiring coverage without claiming a San Jose 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.
