Kara is Co-Founder and Chief Talent Officer of Viridian Staffing. Founded in 2013 as the first professional, full-service staffing, recruiting & HR consulting firm in the Cannabis industry. Bryan is the Founder of cannabis industry talent acquisition firms Hunter + Esquire and The GIGG®. So a lot has changed in the last year and a half or more. We talk about how the COVID pandemic has changed all of our lives, and this is true in the cannabis world as well, though we were considered an essential business during those lockdowns as well. Workers kept working in the cannabis industry, albeit a little differently.

It’s Croptober, which means from harvesting to punching in numbers to the METRC system, it is a busy season in the cannabis industry. Jobs - whether seasonal, temporary or career oriented are beginning to sprout at record pace. The displacement and or outright complete loss of traditional industry jobs has a lot of people looking toward cannabis as an option for the first time - so competition is becoming fierce.    Jarod Duggins talked to Kara Bradford, co-founder of Viridian Staffing. Viridian is one of the longest standing staffing agencies in cannabis and can help you narrow the field so-to-speak. Finding the right opportunity starts with looking in the right place.   TRICHOMES.com talks with staffing agencies and cannabis companies to explore employment and career opportunities in the burgeoning cannabis industry.
