Requirements

5+ years of progressive recruitment experience, with a strong preference for veterinary medicine, healthcare, or a specialised frontline service industry
Demonstrated experience leading a recruitment function or team — this is a builder role and you’ve built before
Multi-unit or multi-location recruitment experience; comfort working with frontline teams who deliver a specialised, high-quality service
Strong cross-functional collaboration skills — you’ve worked alongside operations, finance, and clinical leaders and know how to earn trust quickly
Deep proficiency with ATS platforms, ideally Greenhouse, and a genuine enthusiasm for leveraging technology to work smarter
Experience with or curiosity about AI tools (Claude, Juicebox, Workable, Metaview or similar) as recruitment enablers
Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you can run a leadership presentation and write a compelling cold outreach message with equal ease
A candidate-first mindset: you believe that how we treat candidates is a reflection of who we are as a company
Ability to operate on Eastern Standard Time and connect with candidates and stakeholders across Canadian time zones
Comfort working in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment where things move quickly and the playbook is still being written

Spend time in clinics and actively build relationships that support our DVM pipeline in particular
Design and deliver an unreasonably good candidate experience — from first outreach through to offer acceptance and onboarding handoff — that reflects the Juno brand and differentiates us in the market
Serve as a true thought leader on talent: bring innovative ideas on sourcing, employer branding, candidate engagement, and how Juno can be a standout employer of choice in Canadian veterinary medicine
Own and optimise Juno’s ATS (Greenhouse) — ensuring pipeline hygiene, reporting, and data integrity that enables smart hiring decisions
Leverage AI tools, including Claude, to build more efficient sourcing funnels, improve outreach, and reduce time-to-hire without sacrificing quality
Partner closely with the Head of People, clinic operations leads, and medical leadership to align hiring plans with business needs and opening timelines

Draft and maintain employment agreements, offer letters, and related documentation in collaboration with the People team
Contribute to Juno’s recruitment newsletter, LinkedIn and any other employer brand touchpoints that keep Juno visible and compelling in the market
