How We Help With Cannabis, Hemp & Psychedelic Recruitment?

As is standard with recruiters in other industries – there are NO UPFRONT COSTS and no exclusivity requirement to you as the client, the way it should be!  You do not pay anything until one of our candidates is made an offer and passes their background check. Other recruiting firms in the cannabis industry charge upfront fees or require an exclusive contract, but HempStaff sticks to traditional recruiting models with no upfront fee or exclusivity.

Charging an upfront fee or requiring an exclusive contract in the recruiting field is usually a red flag that the firm does not have confidence they can find you the right employee quickly, so they lock you in by charging you in advance and not letting you shop around for the best candidate. We invite you to use as many cannabis recruitment firms as you wish as we are confident HempStaff will deliver you the best candidates!

HempStaff currently has over 60,000 candidates in our cannabis recruitment databases, some with previous experience and some without, all looking for jobs in the cannabis industry. As Hemp & Cannabis Recruiters, we have the resources on staff that are needed to efficiently narrow down the search through these hundreds of  job applications that you will receive, thus speeding up the process so that you can get that new team member on board that much quicker and reducing turnover in the process by finding the proper candidate the first time.

Our account mananger will spend time with you to get that exact job description, requirements and necessary experience preferred for the job opening you currently have. Once we find candidates that match your requirements, we will contact them and do a pre-screen phone interview with them prior to presenting them to you for your review. We will act as a liaison, setting up and confirming interview dates and times-alleviating you from hours of pre-screening and scheduling work. Once you’ve made your final selection, we will also conduct a nationwide background check through one of our professional partners, to ensure there are no surprises when you go to apply for their work cards.


So how does it work?
Cannabis recruiters work the same as other industry recruiters. We try to keep the process as simple as possible. With one phone call, you can advise us of your needs, we’ll create an agreement, complete with all the position details and then you just sit back and wait for us to send you top notch resumes from candidates’ whose qualifications most closely match the requirements you set forth. Note: We are cannabis recruiters (recreational marijuana, medical marijuana, hemp and psychedelics) for employees working in state or federal licensed hemp and cannabis establishments in the United States, Canada or Puerto Rico.

We only charge a one-time finders fee, based on the annual salary, if you hire one of our candidates (you will not be charged ANYTHING until they pass their background check). If you find that perfect candidate on your own, or if you don’t feel our candidates are what you were searching for and choose not to hire any of them, there is no cost to you! It’s as simple as that! HempStaff offers a wide variety of services for your Hemp Farm, Marijuana Dispensary, Processing Center, Cultivation Center, Testing Laboratory or any other establishment.

Our specialty as marijuana recruiters, are finding those high level management positions such as Cultivation Directors, Dispensary Managers, Master Extractors, C-Level openings and other positions that require several years of legal experience and possibly relocation. Additionally, we have successfully filled entry and mid-level positions or even an entire team at once for a recently licensed cannabis company getting ready to launch their business. With a HempStaff partnership, your staffing needs, no matter what type of hemp or marijuana license you have obtained or are applying for, can be efficiently fulfilled.

Additionally, our Cannabis Training will ensure that all of your dispensary team members are properly trained and ready to work from day one. We are a one stop shop to help you efficiently find qualified candidates for your full-time or part-time openings in the cannabis industry!
