Let me hear your thoughts on this! If I had the time, I would conduct such a survey just in our industry. And, break it down by titles within veterinary industry too! Would be interesting read. I wonder if AVMA has done this or AAHA? If so, please direct me to it! Maybe Brakke Consulting has done?
I provide Veterinarians with all levels of experience with excellent opportunities nationwide with both independently owned and corporate practices.
Would love everyone's input regarding a recently read a survey by ResumeTemplates about job seekers. Nothing new really but still interesting and a nice reminder. A little less than 2000 surveyed in October 2024. No idea how many/if any were in the veterinary industry. Survey results: More than half of US workers surveyed, about 56%, intend to pursue new job opportunities in 2025, and 27% have already engaged in a job search. The survey found one in three respondents would leave their current role without securing another offer. (I found this surprising). Twenty-one percent said they were not very likely to quit without another offer in hand, and 17% said they were not likely to quit at all. (My input: We see this all the time, some people just want to see what “is out there” and sometimes to use another job offer as a way to ask current employer for a raise!) Low pay was cited by 40% of workers as the top reason for leaving their current job. Top priorities for job seekers when considering a position include: Work-life balance, 99% Job security, 98% Interest in the work, 97% Higher salary, 95% Better benefits, 93% Company culture, 92% Flexible hours, 90% Opportunities for career growth, 89% Remote work options, 67%. (My input, We continually see this in talking with candidates, especially in these years since Covid.)
