We are here for
what comes next.
Cova is a talent representation firm for veterinarians who want to practice on their own terms.
What We Do
Representation that goes the distance.
Represent Understand what matters to you
We learn your priorities, your values, and your boundaries — then carry that forward into every conversation we have on your behalf.
Advocate Negotiate the terms you deserve
Compensation, contracts, scheduling, non-competes. We negotiate the terms you should not have to negotiate alone.
Protect Stay in your corner after placement
Three months of structured check-ins after every placement. If something is not right, we intervene early.
How It Works
How representation works.
Step One
We listen
A real conversation about what is working, what is not, and what you want from your next chapter. No forms. No pressure.
Step Two
We match
Using a structured 17-dimension assessment, we identify practices that align with your clinical skills, your values, and your life.
Step Three
We advocate
From offer negotiation to your first 90 days, we are in your corner. Your success is how we measure ours.

Answers before you ask.
-
A talent representative works for you — not the employer. We learn your priorities, negotiate your terms, and advocate for your boundaries. It's representation, not recruiting.
-

Beyond base salary: scheduling structure, non-compete scope, production bonus triggers, and what happens if the role changes after you start. We review all of it before you commit.
-
Veterinary team turnover averages 23% annually. Replacing a single veterinarian costs 0.5x to 1.5x their annual salary when you factor in recruiting, onboarding, and lost revenue during the gap.
-
Staffing agencies fill roles. We represent people. Cova's candidates are pre-vetted across 17 dimensions of fit — which means fewer introductions, better matches, and placements that last.
