Meet the FlowerHire team! Aisha Alves is a Market Director here at FlowerHire and a key player in the Florida cannabis scene 🌴 Check out her 2024 collectable card and a quick Q&A below ⬇️ 🔸 What’s the most in-demand skill or role in cannabis right now? The ability to report, analyze, and strategize on complex data is becoming a hot button skill for almost every role in cannabis, no matter what part of the vertical you're in. 🔸 What’s a common mistake job seekers make when applying for cannabis roles, and how can they fix it? Being a "Jack or Jill of all trades" has traditionally been an asset, especially in the early startup days of cannabis when small teams had to learn on the fly as they grew. Nowadays, however, as companies continue to develop more organizational structure, candidates must learn how to highlight specific functions based on whatever role they are interviewing for. If a candidate markets themself as a "Jack of all trades" the hiring manager often also thinks "master of none." Don't let that be you. 🔸 What’s one of your favorite questions to ask candidates during interviews?Let's fantasize together - think blue sky, what are the things that would make you say to a role "That's my dream job"? Is it a specific title you're working towards, a brand you love, or a region of the country you've been wanting to explore? This helps people get into a growth mindset and it helps ME understand what type of opportunities they'd be willing to pursue - beyond what is the logical next step in their resume. This is cannabis, people - aim HIGH! 🔸 What’s one piece of advice you wish every job seeker in cannabis knew? Don't expect it to be like your past jobs: you simply cannot compare working in Cannabis to anything else out there. Whether you are coming from CPG Brands, alcohol/tobacco/gaming, healthcare, or even the legacy market - sure, there will be similarities or insights that you can draw from those past experiences, but know that overall - it's going to be a BIG eye opener once you are in the door. #workingincannabis #cannabisjobseeker #jobseekertips

You can’t scale a cannabis business with the wrong people in the wrong roles. But it happens all the time. 🌿 A cultivation lead who crushed it at 5,000 sq ft… and gets promoted to 50,000. 📉 A finance hire with “cannabis experience”… who’s never handled 280E across 12 states. ⛔ A compliance director who talks the talk… but can’t build the systems to back it up. These aren’t bad employees. They’re just in over their heads. And it’s costing companies millions. The truth is, cannabis companies are scaling faster than the talent pipeline. Roles are evolving. And leaders are hiring for positions they’ve never filled before. So how do you avoid the skills mismatch trap? You think bigger than “cannabis experience.” You assess for what actually drives performance at scale, in this industry, right now. And you partner with people who know the difference between a flashy title and real ability. At FlowerHire, we’ve helped companies recover from the wrong hire, and avoid the wrong hire entirely. Here’s what’s really going on behind the scenes, and how to fix it before it costs you: 👉 5 ways mismatched skills are costing cannabis companies millions, and how to recover https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gkStEKNw #hiring #cannabisjobs #cannabishr
