Ronda eliminates the inefficiencies of traditional recruitment agencies by giving clinics and locums a direct, transparent platform to post and book shifts. With an advanced search system, intuitive filters, and a first of its kind two-way rating system, users can make confident decisions based on real feedback.

“We built Ronda because we lived the problem,” says Ibra Hernando, experienced locum, orthopaedic vet surgeon and co-founder of Ronda. “After years of frustration with the traditional recruitment method, it became clear the system was outdated. Ronda delivers transparency, trust and greater efficiency to the process.”

What Makes Ronda Different?

• Post shifts and apply with ease on desktop or mobile app
• Search smarter with advanced filters for skills, location, and availability
• Direct negotiation between clinics and locums — no middlemen, no delays
• Transparent two-way reviews from both clinics and locums
• Zero subscriptions – clinics pay only after a successful booking; locums use the platform free
• New Members offer: Practice managers get 50% off placement fees for the first 3 months

Why "Ronda"?
The name Ronda is inspired by the word “round”, reflecting the veterinary industry's rhythm: rotating shifts, constant movement, and the ongoing cycle of care. It's a fitting metaphor for the dynamic, mobile life of locums and the coordination efforts of practice managers. From clinical rounds to scheduling and shift planning, Ronda reflects the shared rhythm of the veterinary profession. At its core, Ronda symbolises connection, continuity, and community — values that lie at the heart of the platform’s mission for both locums and practices.

Built by Vet Professionals, for Vet Teams
Ronda wasn’t developed in a boardroom, it was shaped by real veterinary experiences:

• Ibra, a vet and co-founder who spent over 6 years as a full-time locum, frustrated by scattered bookings, constant emails, and the time wasted planning and searching for shifts
• Dimitra, his partner, a qualified accountant and co-founder, who brought an outside-the-industry perspective, spotting inefficiencies and helping shape a smarter, streamlined solution
• Harriet, a practice manager fed up with relentless rota gaps, last-minute scrambles and agency headaches
• Kayleigh, an RVN who never ventured into locuming due to its unclear, unsupported, uncertain and risky reputation

Together and with the feedback of many other practice managers and locums, they’ve created a platform grounded in transparency, reliability, and mutual respect.
