Recruiting Firms

With the marijuana industry still emerging from the shadows of illegality, demand for labor across all skill sets is high. Some work is seasonal, so farms want to be able to recruit staff weekly, without having to hire and fire them.

Vangst, founded in Denver in 2015, is one of the fastestgrowing cannabis-focused recruiting firms. It persuades job candidates from industries like fashion to make the leap, and offers an on-demand temp workforce in four states. Portland, Oregon’s GreenForce connects farms with people in cultivation and flower trimming.
