Case Study: VetPartners achieves 56% faster time-to-fill and 70% less reference-check time with Checkster

VetPartners Slashes Time to Hire & Gains Competitive Advantage with Checkster

VetPartners is a leading veterinary hospital group in Australasia, with over 120 practices and 1,736 employees. Facing a severe talent shortage—veterinarian vacancies lasting months and candidates receiving multiple offers within days—the recruitment team needed to speed hiring and improve candidate quality, compliance and hiring manager satisfaction without sacrificing standards.

They deployed Checkster to automate reference checks and supported targeted campaigns like “Vets Abroad” and “Project Boomerang.” The result: a 70% reduction in time spent on reference checking, 56% faster time-to-fill than industry averages (39% faster in metro, 56% faster in regional), higher-quality references and improved compliance, greater hiring manager satisfaction, and national recognition with a Best Recruitment Campaign award.
