What does each board actually sell?
VeterinaryHires sells listings.
A Standard listing is $199 and a Featured listing is $399 at launch pricing, each a single payment for a 30-day listing on a board that carries nothing but veterinary jobs.
Nothing renews and there is no plan to maintain.
iHireVeterinary rents job slots.
You take a monthly plan — $369 for one slot, $450 for three, $799 for ten — or a quarterly plan at $316, $405 or $733 per month, and you swap different jobs into your slots as openings change.
So the first decision is shape, not quality: a listing you buy outright, or a slot you keep and reuse.
What does each cost a veterinary practice?
For one opening, VeterinaryHires is the smaller bill: $199 once for a Standard 30-day listing, or $399 for Featured, against iHireVeterinary's entry plan at $369 per month for one slot.
The two prices buy different things — the slot is reusable across jobs and carries iHire's tools, while the listing is a straight 30-day post.
Multi-location groups are closer.
VeterinaryHires' group plans are $899 a month for up to 10 live jobs or $1,749 a month for up to 25 with Featured treatment, arranged by contacting us. iHireVeterinary's 10-slot plan is $799 a month, or $733 per month on the quarterly plan, and it directs buyers who want more to call for a customized solution.
What each VeterinaryHires tier includes is on the pricing page.
What about contracts and cancellation?
Neither board asks for a long-term commitment.
A single VeterinaryHires listing is a one-time payment that never renews.
The group plans are monthly and can be canceled at any time with no minimum commitment, and jobs stay visible through the rest of the paid month.
iHireVeterinary says the same in its own words: "Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time – no long-term commitment required!" Slots can be swapped between jobs as your hiring needs change, and you can advertise for as long as you like.
What tools does each give you?
This is where iHireVeterinary has more, plainly.
Every iHire job ad includes applicant prescreening with auto-disqualifying questions, interview scheduling and management, candidate messaging, an AI-powered job ad builder, applicant tracking with notes, a free career site and company profile, branded email alerts, and automatic 15-day refreshes that push the ad back to the top of search results.
The iHire360 bundle adds resume sourcing in a database iHire says holds 2.8 million resumes (self-reported) plus an ATS, and iHire says it is limited to direct-hiring organizations with 51-500 employees.
VeterinaryHires' listing flow has no screening or tracking step.
Candidates click Apply and go straight to the application link or email address you supplied; the board keeps no candidate accounts and no resume database; and there is no employer dashboard — support edits or removes a live job on request.
If you want screening and tracking inside the board, iHireVeterinary is the better-equipped pick; if your own process already handles that, a slot plan is paying for tools you would not use.
Where do your jobs appear, and who sees them?
iHireVeterinary promotes jobs "across the iHire network and our partner sites like Google, Indeed, JobGet, and more," and its candidates keep accounts with searchable resumes and email job alerts.
VeterinaryHires does not claim that distribution.
Its listings appear on the matching role and city pages on veterinaryhires.com and are indexed in Google Jobs.
The trade is focus.
VeterinaryHires lists jobs inside veterinary practices only — grooming, pet retail, zoo and research-lab jobs are not listed — and its eight role pages run from veterinarian and relief veterinarian to technician, assistant, receptionist, practice manager and kennel attendant. iHireVeterinary's own in-demand titles list also includes dog groomer, dog walker and dog trainer beside the clinical roles.
If your opening is strictly veterinary, the focused board keeps it on-topic; if you also hire groomers, dog walkers or dog trainers, iHire's in-demand list covers those titles.
What does each board publish about its own numbers?
iHireVeterinary publishes self-reported counters: its homepage showed about 19,296 jobs, 446,638 registered candidates and 3,644 employers the day we checked, alongside a network it describes as 57 industry-specific communities.
The iHire pages we checked show numbers like these, not hiring outcomes.
VeterinaryHires' terms, for their part, state that a listing is not guaranteed to result in a hire.
VeterinaryHires does not publish candidate or reach numbers; the fact sheet says so plainly.
On published numbers the gap favors iHireVeterinary, and the honest case for VeterinaryHires rests on the rest of this page: one-time pricing, a veterinary-only board, and applications that go straight to you.
Which one should you choose?
Choose iHireVeterinary if…
- You want screening and candidate management in the same place you post: every job ad includes applicant prescreening with auto-disqualifying questions, interview scheduling, candidate messaging and applicant tracking.
- You want a posting distributed beyond the board itself — iHire promotes jobs across the iHire network and partner sites like Google, Indeed and JobGet.
- You want to source proactively, not just wait for applications: the iHire360 bundle adds resume search in iHire's database and an ATS (iHire says it is limited to direct-hiring organizations with 51-500 employees).
- You hire steadily enough that a reusable slot beats paying per post — swap jobs in and out of a monthly or quarterly plan, and upgrade, downgrade or cancel it any time.
Choose VeterinaryHires if…
- You want a board that lists nothing but veterinary jobs — eight role pages from veterinarian to kennel attendant, with no grooming or pet-retail listings.
- You are hiring for one opening and want a one-time $199 Standard or $399 Featured listing (launch pricing) that runs 30 days and never renews.
- You want applications to come straight to you: candidates click Apply and land on your own application link or email, with no candidate accounts in between.
- You run a multi-location group and prefer a flat monthly plan — up to 10 always-live jobs for $899 or up to 25 with Featured treatment for $1,749, cancelable any time.
Frequently asked questions
Is iHireVeterinary more expensive than VeterinaryHires?
For a single opening, usually yes. iHireVeterinary's cheapest plan is $369 per month for one job slot, while a VeterinaryHires Standard listing is a one-time $199 (launch pricing) for 30 days with nothing recurring.
The comparison is not exact: the slot is reusable across jobs and includes prescreening and messaging tools, while the listing is a straight 30-day post.
Multi-location groups should compare iHire's 10-slot plan at $799 a month with VeterinaryHires' Growth plan at $899 a month for up to 10 live jobs.
Does VeterinaryHires have an ATS or resume search like iHireVeterinary?
No. Applications never sit on VeterinaryHires: candidates click Apply and go straight to the application link or email address the employer supplied, and the board has no candidate accounts and no resume database. iHireVeterinary includes prescreening, interview scheduling, candidate messaging and applicant tracking with every job ad, and its iHire360 bundle adds resume search in a database iHire says holds 2.8 million resumes (self-reported) and an ATS.
If you want those tools bundled with your posting, iHireVeterinary is the better fit; if you already have your own process, VeterinaryHires stays out of it.
Which board is better for a small practice hiring one veterinarian?
For one opening, price and simplicity favor VeterinaryHires: $199 for a 30-day Standard listing (launch pricing) on a veterinary-only board, indexed in Google Jobs and shown on the matching role pages, with applications going to your own inbox.
If you expect to hire repeatedly, want your ad also pushed to sites like Google, Indeed and JobGet, or want prescreening to cut applications down before they reach you, iHireVeterinary's one-slot plan at $369 a month does more — at a recurring cost.
Whichever way you lean, VeterinaryHires does not guarantee that a listing will result in a hire.
Where do my job ads appear on each board?
A VeterinaryHires listing appears on the matching role and city pages on veterinaryhires.com and is indexed in Google Jobs; Featured listings sit at the top of the feed with a badge. iHireVeterinary promotes jobs across the iHire network and partner sites like Google, Indeed and JobGet, and automatically refreshes your ad every 15 days to push it back up its own search results.
That is genuinely wider distribution on iHire's side; VeterinaryHires' distribution is narrower: the board's own veterinary role and city pages, plus Google Jobs indexing.
Can I cancel either service?
Yes, on both sides, in different ways.
A single VeterinaryHires listing is a one-time payment, so there is nothing to cancel — it never renews.
VeterinaryHires group plans are billed monthly, can be canceled at any time with no minimum commitment, and jobs stay visible through the rest of the paid month. iHireVeterinary says you can upgrade, downgrade or cancel at any time with no long-term commitment, and advertise for as long as you like.
What is iHire360, and does VeterinaryHires have anything like it?
iHire360 is iHire's bundle: job posting with wide distribution, resume search in a database iHire says holds 2.8 million resumes (self-reported), and an applicant tracking system. iHire says it is limited to direct-hiring organizations with 51-500 employees.
VeterinaryHires has no equivalent bundle: applications never sit on the board — candidates click Apply and go straight to the employer's own link or email — and there are no candidate accounts and no resume database.
Organizations within iHire's size limit that want recruiting software attached to their posting budget are iHire360's audience.
Does either board publish numbers about candidates or results?
iHireVeterinary shows live counters on its homepage — about 19,296 jobs, 446,638 registered candidates and 3,644 employers the day we checked — which are self-reported figures about its own network.
VeterinaryHires publishes no candidate or reach numbers and says so on its fact sheet.
The iHire pages we checked show counters, not hiring outcomes, and VeterinaryHires does not guarantee that a posting results in a hire.
On published numbers, iHireVeterinary simply has more of them.
