The cannabis industry’s 2019 capital crunch leading into the 2020 COVID pandemic was a very difficult time for everyone in the cannabis community to say the least, and of course continues to present very difficult challenges. However, some positive culture shifts and creative hiring practices in the industry were born as a result. Because if one thing holds true about the cannabis community, it’s that we’re a gritty and resilient bunch!

Hear from cannabis industry recruitment leaders, Bryan Passman of Hunter + Esquire and Kimley Svendsen of Drive Talent, who will be sharing insights from their frontline experiences.

Attendees will gain insight into these key takeaways:

• Ways in which cannabis business cultures are continuing to evolve to reflect those within marquis companies in mainstream industries.

• How Hiring practices in all industries were turned upside down by the pandemic – the good and the not so good.

• It’s been a rough ride with more difficult times ahead, but panelists breakdown the ways our “essential” industry is still winning despite it all.
