How to find a cannabis staffing & recruiting partner

Finding a partner to help you meet your cannabis staffing and recruitment needs might seem tricky but there are a few easy methods that shouldn’t be overlooked.

• First, check around your local area for any upcoming cannabis events. There are B2B-focused conferences throughout the year where staffing and recruitment firms will surely be exhibiting their services to both cannabis companies and workers looking to get hired in the industry.
• Second — and likely the easier option — check out the Ganjapreneur Cannabis Business Index, located above, which contains a list of vetted cannabis industry staffing and recruitment firms.

Additionally, any successful recruitment firm should offer testimonials from industry representatives and business owners or, barring that, at least a long list of successful employee placements. Note that it will also be worthwhile to get to know your staffing partner well — and make sure that they get to know you — so that they have a good understanding of your brand and will find employees who match well with your workplace.
