We tackle how writing effective job requirements can transform your veterinary clinic's hiring success by focusing on potential rather than unrealistic wishlists.

The perfect veterinary team member often doesn't check every box but brings the right attitude and growth mindset to thrive in your specific environment.

What Julie South covers in this episode:

• Too many job adverts read like impossible wishlists rather than realistic requirements
• Understanding the crucial difference between absolute "must-haves" and developable "nice-to-haves"
• Use the test: "Would I hire someone perfect in every other way who lacks this requirement?"
• Lead with growth potential instead of demanding specific experience levels
• Be specific about what communication and skills actually look like in your practice
• Show jobseekers the path to developing "nice-to-have" skills at your clinic
• Avoid the experience trap - more years doesn't automatically equal better fit
• Success comes from focusing on what someone needs to thrive in your specific environment
• Writing your requirements in your own words attracts professionals who understand your actual needs
