A Capitol Hill associate role, a Douglas County medical director search and a Boulder specialist appointment need different briefs. Start with the hospital address, county, clinical resources and schedule, then agree the search with BEGHR.
Specify independent procedures, appointment capacity and doctor overlap. If recruiting a new graduate, name the mentor and protect teaching time; Colorado counts a degree earned in the last 12 months as proof of current clinical competency.
Plan an associate search →Define the discipline, required credentials, shift pattern and resources already available. Explain referral communication, overnight staffing and inpatient handover, and name the technicians who support the shift.
Scope a specialist role →List the hospitals and decision authority. Separate clinical workload from protected time for coaching, clinical standards and team development, and set out how delegation to technicians is supervised.
Define a medical director role →Use the actual work address, the county and any additional facilities. Do not present a Boulder or Castle Rock vacancy as interchangeable with a central Denver hospital. A rotating role should state which days belong to which site and whether movement between sites happens between working days or during a clinical shift.
Choose the clinical and operational interviewers, confirm the employer-approved package and identify who can authorize an offer. Use the same role-related criteria for every candidate and give one person responsibility for feedback. Confirm the candidate’s Colorado license status before a start date is set. Review the hiring brief and candidate scorecard before outreach.
This is permanent placement for employers. Your practice hires the selected candidate directly. An immediate relief shift needs a separate arrangement; this service does not promise a locum available today. Job seekers can start with BEGHR’s veterinary placement page; the pricing form here is for employer inquiries.
Use the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations license lookup for the relevant professional record. Colorado licenses veterinarians through the State Board of Veterinary Medicine within the Department of Regulatory Agencies, and veterinary technicians are registered through the same Division. Assign a person to verify license status and the expiration date, record the verification date and resolve questions with the Division. Check any additional specialty credentials required by the employer with the issuing organization.
For a candidate moving from another state, review the Colorado veterinary applications and licensing guide. Do not treat an out-of-state license or a preferred start date as confirmation that Colorado requirements are satisfied. Colorado does not require a jurisprudence exam, but an applicant must hold an active license before practicing and must show current clinical competency. The Division determines eligibility and timing; BEGHR does not issue licenses.
For continuing education and renewal rules, see the Colorado veterinary continuing education requirements and the State Board of Veterinary Medicine page.

The recruiting team sources prospects and screens them against your brief. Weekly calibration reviews candidate quality, the pipeline and any changes needed to the sourcing strategy.

The recruiter coordinates interviews, candidate communication and offer support. You select the hire. BEGHR invoices on your agreed cadence, at least monthly during billable service delivery.
This is hourly, pay-as-you-go recruiting within an agreed fee range, billed as work progresses. Completed billable work may be payable even if no placement is made. Your client agreement sets the range, billable milestones, amounts and due dates.

Veterinary recruitment coverage
A Denver veterinary search works best when the hospital address comes before the city label. Denver neighborhoods, suburbs in Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties, the City and County of Broomfield and Boulder are different workplaces under different local governments. Business Executive Group uses the employer’s role, schedule and location to scope a permanent search.
Name the street address, municipality and county, and keep Denver neighborhoods separate from suburban cities. Several places cross county lines: Aurora reaches Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, Littleton reaches Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson, and Arvada and Westminster each reach Adams and Jefferson. Highlands Ranch is a census designated place, not a city. Coverage on this site is limited to Colorado; a hospital in another state falls under a different licensing authority.
Capitol Hill and Five Points are separate statistical neighborhoods near the center of the City and County of Denver, which Denver divides into 78 areas. Denver lists the downtown core and Union Station as their own neighborhoods, so give the street address and the exact neighborhood before describing a central role. Keep a Capitol Hill assignment apart from a Five Points assignment even when one group runs both.
Highland and Sloan Lake are separate Denver statistical neighborhoods, and West Highland is a third. Edgewater and Lakewood are separate cities in Jefferson County. State whether the hospital is in Denver or in Jefferson County before naming the role, and list any second site on its own line.
Cherry Creek, Washington Park, Baker and Hampden are separate Denver statistical neighborhoods, and several have a named neighbor such as Washington Park West or Hampden South. Cherry Hills Village, Englewood and Centennial are separate Arapahoe County cities. A south Denver address and an Arapahoe County address describe different hospitals and different employers.
Central Park, the Park Hill neighborhoods, Lowry Field and Montbello are separate Denver statistical neighborhoods. Denver lists Park Hill as North, South and Northeast, so name the one that applies. Aurora and Commerce City are separate cities with their own street addresses.
Westminster, Thornton, Northglenn, Broomfield and Commerce City are separate cities north of the City and County of Denver. Westminster and Thornton each cross a county line, Northglenn touches Adams and Weld counties, and Broomfield is its own city and county. Use the hospital address and county for each role so a candidate is not left guessing which jurisdiction applies.
Lakewood, Arvada and Golden are separate cities west and northwest of Denver. Lakewood and Golden are in Jefferson County, and Arvada spans Adams and Jefferson counties. State the address and county for each role, and keep each site distinct even where one group operates in two of these cities.
Englewood, Littleton and Centennial are separate cities south of Denver. Englewood and Centennial are in Arapahoe County, and Littleton spans Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties. The hospital’s street address, not the city name alone, shows which county applies to the role.
Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker and Castle Rock are in Douglas County. Highlands Ranch is a census designated place without its own city government, Lone Tree is a city, and Parker and Castle Rock are towns. Describe each community by its actual status in the job brief.
Aurora is a single city that reaches into Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, and the Census Bureau lists more land area for Aurora than for the City and County of Denver. Treat each Aurora hospital as its own address and list any Denver or Centennial site separately.
Boulder is a separate city in Boulder County, outside Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties. Treat a Boulder hospital as its own search rather than a variation on a Denver one, and list any Broomfield or Westminster site on a separate line.
This Denver employer inquiry site is operated by Business Executive Group. BEGHR manages your client relationship and billing while the recruiting delivery team handles sourcing, screening and candidate delivery. Your signed client engagement confirms the search scope and terms.

Employer questions

This website is for practice owners and employer hiring teams seeking permanent veterinary staff. Its form requests a hiring brief and returns a placement estimate after employer opt-in. It is not an open-jobs directory or a candidate application form.

BEGHR’s published placement process starts billing after applicants are sent. Invoices follow the agreed cadence, at least monthly during billable service delivery. BEGHR handles client billing and account questions.
Milestone billing pays for agreed work as the search progresses, so completed billable milestones may still be payable without a placement. Your client agreement specifies the billing triggers, amounts, due dates and any cancellation terms.
