Veterinary recruiter fee comparison worksheet for Seattle employers

Compare recruiting fees using written proposals for the same vacancy. Record each payment trigger, included work, optional charge and cancellation condition. Work through successful-hire and no-hire scenarios separately: a milestone search, placement fee, relief booking and advertising campaign do not charge for the same outcome or unit of work.

How to use this resource

Choose a common scenario

State the role, agreed compensation basis, number of hires and expected service period. For relief, use the same dates and hours. For advertising, use the same campaign duration and spending limit.

Map when each charge becomes payable

List deposits, milestones, placement fees, subscriptions, advertising spend and pass-through charges only when they appear in the proposal. Record whether charges are refundable, credited or still due if the search stops.

Work through more than a successful hire

Calculate a completed hire, an employer cancellation and a search that ends without a hire. If repeat hiring is likely, ask what changes for the next hire and whether eligibility conditions apply.

Resolve differences before signing

Compare the same services and identify excluded employer work. Ask the provider to correct unclear terms in the written proposal. The signed agreement, rather than this worksheet, determines the actual obligations.

A worked example

Illustrative arithmetic only: a proposal with two $2,000 completed-work milestones and a $3,000 hiring milestone totals $7,000 if all three are earned. If the agreement makes the first two payable even without a hire, that no-hire scenario is $4,000. These example amounts are not BEGHR or competitor prices.

Apply the decision to the actual Seattle vacancy

Name the neighborhood or city and the street address. Seattle’s planning office notes that its Community Reporting Areas follow census tracts and may not match local ideas of neighborhood boundaries, and Bothell lies in both King and Snohomish counties. Coverage on this site is limited to Washington State; a hospital in Oregon or Idaho falls under a different state licensing authority.

Give the hiring team one brief for each facility, with clinical work, support staffing, weekend duties and location commitments stated together. For a role that covers several hospitals, list the sites, the days at each and how schedule changes are communicated. Under RCW 49.58.110, Washington requires an employer with 15 or more employees to disclose the wage scale or salary range and a general description of benefits in each job posting, including recruitment done through a third party, so agree those details before outreach. This site describes employer hiring coverage without claiming a Seattle 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.
