About the Role:
Finding and attracting veterinary talent has never been more challenging, or more important.

Across Denmark, our clinics are growing, evolving, and continuing to deliver high-quality care in a highly competitive talent market. To support this growth, we are looking for an Area Talent Acquisition Partner who will play a key role in helping clinics attract and hire exceptional veterinary professionals.

This is not a traditional recruitment role focused purely on managing vacancies. It is a relationship-driven role where success comes from understanding people, building trust with clinics, and creating long-term connections within the veterinary community.

Some days in this role start inside busy veterinary clinics, sitting with leaders to understand their hiring challenges and what good really looks like for their teams. Other days are spent outside the clinic walls—mapping the Danish talent market, reaching out to highly specialized professionals who are not actively looking, and slowly building trust through meaningful conversations rather than quick transactions.

Because the market is niche and competitive, success comes from relationships as much as recruitment. You’ll be constantly balancing hands-on clinic engagement with thoughtful, creative sourcing strategies, while deciding where your time creates the most impact—whether that’s at an industry event, strengthening a local network, or refining new ways to connect with talent. You will have a high level of ownership and flexibility in how you organize your work.

You won’t be doing this in isolation. You’ll work closely with the Senior Talent Acquisition Manager and be part of a wider European TA community, sharing ideas, learning from others facing similar challenges, and helping shape how recruitment is done in Denmark. At its core, it’s a role about building something meaningful—supporting clinics, enabling better patient care, and contributing to the long-term growth of veterinary healthcare in a collaborative, purpose-driven environment.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Partner closely with clinic leaders and practitioner managers across Denmark to understand workforce needs, hiring priorities, and local talent gaps
• Lead end-to-end recruitment processes for veterinary and other key clinical and clinic support roles
• Build, manage, and continuously strengthen pipelines of veterinary and specialist talent in a highly competitive market
• Proactively source and engage passive candidates, building long-term relationships within the veterinary and clinical community
• Advise and support clinics with hiring strategies, market insights, and best practices to improve speed, quality, and candidate experience
• Ensure a high-quality, consistent, and engaging candidate experience across all stages of the recruitment process
• Represent AniCura and Linnaeus at universities, career fairs, networking events, and industry engagements to strengthen talent attraction
• Support and contribute to employer branding initiatives and local recruitment campaigns in Denmark
• Collaborate closely with international Talent Acquisition colleagues to share knowledge, tools, and best practices across markets
• Work independently with strong ownership, structuring your own priorities across multiple clinics and stakeholders
• Apply a proactive, creative, and entrepreneurial mindset to solve hiring challenges in a scarce talent market
• Continuously improve sourcing strategies, tools, and approaches to attract hard-to-find veterinary talent Top of Form
• Strong knowledge of sourcing techniques, applicant tracking systems, and recruitment best practices.
• Proven ability to build relationships with hiring managers and external partners. Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
• Data-driven mindset and experience using recruitment analytics.
• Familiarity with employment laws and diversity hiring practices.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in human resources, Business, or related field. Preferred: Recruitment or P&O certifications (e.g., AIRS, SP&OM-CP)
• Minimum of 5 years experience in talent acquisition or recruitment, preferably in a multi-site or multi-country context.Bottom of Form
