Take a look at these amazing tips on how to break into the industry! 🍃

It's #TipTuesday (on a Friday bc...#summer 😎 ) What's the 🔑 to a successful career in the global #cannabisindustry? Being Good. REALLY good. Really, Really, Really good. At something. One thing. Not all things. But something. And how do you get REALLY good at something? You do it once. Then you do it again. And Again, And Again, And yet again. Day in/out, Month in/out, Year in/out... Becoming a true 'Specialist in X for the Cannabis industry' takes time, focus and consistent effort. On one thing. I'm entering year 6 as a dedicated global cannabis recruiter, running Emerald Lane Recruitment. That's what I've put 100% of my work focus into since I started. The BIG wins I have today, are because of the consistent, every day of focus, effort, and growth that I've had along the way. So that's the secret: Do the work. There are no shortcuts, or 'formulas', or Linkedin hiku templates to follow to 'hack' the system. Just do the work. Deliver fantastic outcomes,  build a solid reputation, and be an honest & kind human as you do it. Then the BIG wins will come. That's the 🔑 to success in the cannabis industry. So, get good. Get really really good. And then the (cannabis) world truly is your oyster. Go get it, ✌  S. PS: Are you Good? Really Really Good? Then let's talk. Your cannabis career can go wherever you want it to go, as long as you are willing to show up and do the work (and I'm here to help you).

🌿👥💼 Recruiting in the cannabis industry? A path less trodden, but a goldmine of opportunities. Here's a bold claim: Cannabis is not a niche. It's a burgeoning industry, ripe for the picking. But wait! It's not all sunshine and rainbows. The challenges? They're real and they're unique. Legal nuances. Regulatory hoops. A talent pool that's more like a puddle. But, here's the twist: These challenges? They're not barriers. They're filters. They separate the committed from the curious. The pioneers from the followers. What's the secret to successful recruiting in this space? Embrace ambiguity. Welcome the unknown. Seek those who are not just skilled, but adaptable. Remember: in a nascent industry, experience is not a prerequisite; curiosity is. So, if you're navigating the cannabis recruiting maze, don't look for the exit. Instead, build your own path. And remember, every challenge is a chance to innovate. 🎯🚀🌿 #recruiting #staffing #cannabiscommunity

Dealing with 'No Call, No Show' situations can be a real headache, especially in the fast-paced cannabis industry. But here's the deal: it's not just about the problem; it's about finding solutions. As a hiring partner in the cannabis space, we've learned that communication is key. Reach out to the candidate to understand their reasons and offer support if necessary. Sometimes, life throws curveballs, and a little understanding can go a long way. Additionally, having a backup plan and a pool of potential candidates can save the day. Don't let one absence disrupt your operations. Stay prepared, stay adaptable. #CannabisIndustry #HiringTips #NoCallNoShow #HRStrategy

Too often, cannabis businesses hire for talent, not character. Forget strategy. Your talent gets you on the stage, but your character keeps you on it. Is your team dependable? People need to be able to count on you. Hiring needs more character focus.
