Groomers:
The ideal candidate will have a groomer license and at least one year experience. They should have
better than average communication skills and proven record of grooms beyond basic expectations of
clients.
The groomers should be happy to work a schedule that is planned in advance. They should be excited
about a production based pay. They should also be extremely welling to follow Legacy Veterinary
procedures as written.
WHERE THE GROOMER CANDIDATES ARE NOW:
Where working: Candidates are typically working in other grooming facilities or vet practices
now. They also may be found in grooming schools nearing graduation.
Where living: They are currently living within a 30 minute drive of our practice. The soon-to-be
graduating groomers may be located farther away, possibly even out of state and interested in
living in our area.
Why they will like Legacy Vet: He or she is looking for specifically a high quality organized place
with support so they do not have to do all of the bathing, checking in, etc. They often times do
not like the way the other places are ran or do not feel appreciated. They are highly focused the
emotional FEELINGS of the job rather than the specs. They need to be attracted by the
emotions. The pay, schedule, etc. needs to be discussed as a side note after they are interested.
If the logistics are discussed first they are often turned off as they are highly creative people and
not overly interested or educated in business practices.
Why they will like our groomer position: Candidates will be attracted to Legacy Vet because we
have a caring family atmosphere, clean modern facility, and an undisturbed place to practice
their ART without drama or details. They prefer to not be overly focused on procedures or
systems. They systems need to be presented almost as second nature and simply part of their
environment rather than steps they have to memorize.
