Job seekers join the Cannabis community at a great time because- legalization is on the rise. Both for medical and recreational purposes, the world is seeing the value of the plant! And it’s about time because since the beginning of time, Cannabis has contributed to greatness in the world.

Recently, I interviewed Vangst about the boom in the industry, the benefits of hiring from the experienced in Cannabis pool, and the benefits of hiring from the not experienced in Cannabis pool. I had to get insight from a Cannabis recruiting firm about the need for Cannabis education and also insight on why Cannabis companies shouldn’t just focus on Cannabis experience for hiring.

Check out the interview below.

Tell me about Vangst- mission, purpose, and goals.

“First and foremost, we’re a cannabis talent company. That means we’re the company the cannabis industry relies on to post jobs, find work, and advance careers. We work with companies who are hiring professionals, and employees who are looking for work. We do that for a wide range of cannabis needs, from temporary gig workers who harvest the plant to full-time chemists in the lab.

Our network and services are designed to powerfully and confidently match the right people with the right jobs, and they’re designed to do it for every job and every type of employee
