Confirm the actual work location
Recruiting coverage is defined by the employer vacancy. State the hospital address and working arrangements so candidates can evaluate the position accurately.
- Describe onsite shifts and any work at other hospitals.
- Clarify travel, on-call and relocation expectations.
- Verify the credentials applicable to the actual role and work location.
Prepare the role brief
Write down the information a candidate needs to evaluate the position before the search begins.

- Identify who provides mentorship and how clinical escalation works.
- Set realistic production expectations and explain compensation terms.
Plan the work location in Philadelphia.
Keep Philadelphia neighborhoods separate from the townships and boroughs of the surrounding Pennsylvania counties. Several place names, such as Springfield, Doylestown and Newtown, refer to more than one municipality, so the brief should name the county and municipality. Coverage on this site is limited to Pennsylvania; a hospital in New Jersey or Delaware falls under a different state licensing board.
Give the hiring team one brief for each facility, with clinical work, support staffing, weekend duties and location commitments stated together. For regional positions, list the hospitals, planned visits and how schedule changes are communicated. This site describes employer hiring coverage without claiming a Philadelphia recruiting office.

The Department of State also explains how to verify a professional license. Assign a person to verify status, record the date and resolve questions with the State Board of Veterinary Medicine. Check any additional specialty credentials required by the employer with the issuing organization.
