View recruitment service →For El Paso veterinary employers
A Central El Paso associate role, a Lower Valley medical director search and a Horizon City hire from out of state need different briefs. Start with the hospital address, municipality, 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; Texas exempts new licensees from continuing education in the first year but requires a Texas license before practice.
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 who holds controlled-drug records and inspection readiness.
Define a medical director role →Use the actual work address, the city or town and any additional facilities. Do not present a Fabens or Clint vacancy as interchangeable with a Central El Paso 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 Texas 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.
The Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners states that Texas veterinarians complete 17 hours of continuing education a year, including 2 hours on opioids every two years, and that the hours must be earned in the year before renewal. Its DVM page lists an AVMA-accredited degree or an ECFVG or PAVE certificate, a passing NAVLE result and fingerprinting, requires the online State Board Exam for every license category and says employment offers to unlicensed candidates should be contingent on obtaining a Texas license. The Board states that technician licensure is optional, and Pima Medical Institute’s El Paso campus lists a Veterinary Technician program with AVMA CVTEA accreditation. The El Paso Veterinary Medical Association, founded in 1956 according to its site, runs a Local Opportunities page and a career center with the Veterinary Career Network, and the Texas A&M veterinary college holds an annual job and externship fair with the Texas Veterinary Medical Association. O*NET OnLine, citing Bureau of Labor Statistics 2025 wage data, lists El Paso area median annual wages for veterinarians, veterinary technicians and veterinary assistants below the Texas and national medians for each role, though its lowest-tenth veterinarian wage is above the Texas and national lowest-tenth figures. The same state rules apply to every El Paso employer, so confirm them before the El Paso search starts.

Use the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners license lookup for the relevant professional record. Texas licenses veterinarians and licensed veterinary technicians through the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, and one Texas license applies in every county. Assign a person to verify license status and the expiration date, record the verification date and resolve questions with the Board. Check any additional specialty credentials required by the employer with the issuing organization.
For a candidate moving from another state, review the Texas veterinary licensing requirements. Do not treat an out-of-state license or a preferred start date as confirmation that Texas requirements are satisfied. Texas requires the online State Board Exam for every license category, and the Board says employment offers to unlicensed candidates should be contingent on obtaining a Texas license. The Board determines eligibility and timing; BEGHR does not issue licenses.
For continuing education and license types, see the Texas continuing education requirements and the Texas DVM license requirements and the Texas LVT license requirements.

Veterinary recruitment coverage
An El Paso veterinary search works best when the hospital address comes before the city label. The City of El Paso, the smaller cities and towns of El Paso County, census designated places and the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo 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 City of El Paso neighborhoods separate from the communities around it. The City divides itself into five planning areas, Socorro, Horizon City, San Elizario, Clint, Anthony and Vinton are separate incorporated places, and Canutillo, Fabens and Tornillo are census designated places without city governments. Anthony, Texas shares its name with Anthony, New Mexico. Coverage on this site is limited to Texas; a hospital in New Mexico or Mexico falls under a different licensing authority or country.
The City of El Paso’s Central planning area holds the downtown core and the older neighborhoods around it. The City’s historic district layer lists Downtown, Sunset Heights, Chihuahuita, Magoffin and Manhattan Heights as separate districts, and its neighborhood association layer places the Kern Place and Five Points associations in the Central area. Give the street address and the neighborhood before describing a central role, and keep a Kern Place site apart from a Downtown site even when one group runs both.
The City of El Paso’s Northwest planning area covers the west side of the city, and its neighborhood association layer lists the West Side Civic Association, Coronado Hills, Upper Valley, Mesa Hills and Upper Mesa Hills there. Canutillo and the communities west of the city are separate Census places, so state whether the hospital is inside the City limits. Keep a West Side address apart from an Upper Valley or Mesa Hills address.
Canutillo, Westway and Prado Verde are census designated places, Anthony is an incorporated town and Vinton is an incorporated village, all in El Paso County. Anthony, Texas shares its name with Anthony, New Mexico, which is a separate city in Doña Ana County under a different licensing authority. Give the street address and the state for each role in this group.
Northeast and East are two of the five planning areas the City of El Paso uses, and Horizon City is a separate incorporated place in El Paso County with its own government. Homestead Meadows North and South and Butterfield are census designated places, and Fort Bliss is a separate Census place and a federal installation. Give the hospital’s street address and keep a private practice address apart from any address on post.
The City of El Paso’s Mission Valley planning area includes the El Paso Lower Valley Association, and Socorro, San Elizario and Clint are separate incorporated places in El Paso County. Fabens, Tornillo, Sparks, Morning Glory and Agua Dulce are census designated places without city governments, the association layer lists Lomaland in the Mission Valley area, and Ysleta del Sur Pueblo describes itself as a federally recognized tribe and sovereign nation. Give the hospital’s street address and keep each community separate.
This El Paso 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
The service covers permanent associate veterinarians, veterinary specialists, emergency DVMs, surgery appointments, medical directors and regional veterinary leaders. Search fit depends on the role, clinical requirements and employer brief. The practice makes the final hiring decision.
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.
Select your role, complete the hiring questions and submit your employer contact details through the pricing form to receive an estimated fee range. BEGHR confirms the role classification, final fee and payment milestones before you engage the service.
