CannaWorkforce Solutions quoted in the Buffalo News
Humboldt Parkway staffing agency StaffBuffalo started CannaWorkforce Solutions to match cannabis employers with those seeking to work in the cannabis industry.
“The entire process has been a roller coaster for everyone, but it’s a relief that things are finally moving forward for everyone involved,” said Sheri Courteau, Talent Acquisition Specialist at CannaWorkforce Solutions.
“Organizing a workforce during uncertain times has proven to be a real challenge. Business owners have been unsure of when and how to start hiring due to the lack of clarity regarding future dates and timelines,” she said. “Companies have been in a frustrating wait-and-see approach for quite some time.”
“There is a general sense of overwhelm at the moment,” Courteau said. “Now that the ban is lifted, people are starting to scramble, while it seems that everyone is rushing towards the finish line.”
“As the industry continues to open up, business owners may be sifting through hundreds of candidates and résumés for a posted position,” Courteau said.
