I was a lifelong resident of Hawaii (where cannabis is ubiquitous yet still unfortunately treated like plutonium by lawmakers) who arrived in Rhode Island with decades of experience in startups, manufacturing and marketing - but really starting from scratch in terms of job seeking and connections. Hawaii raised and educated, my network was so strong that I had not had to actually apply for a job in well over 20 years. Here, I was actively seeking my next position using executive placement firms, and (despite having a long personal relationship with the plant) I may have never actually considered the cannabis industry a match for my skills until I connected with Danielle at THC Staffing.
 
From the moment I saw the Howl's ad on LinkedIn, through the interview and application process, I was struck by how much more responsive and professional this process was than my experience with other regional placement firms. THC Staffing puts deep focus on the individual, potential fit with the opportunity, and holds interesting space for "out of the box" candidates.
 
Most of all, THC Staffing's recruitment process centers equity in a way I have only seen aspired to by other companies and organizations. As an older professional and a woman entering a generally male-dominated space, I felt seen, validated, and supported every step of the way, and I was over the moon to recently mark a half a year on the job so far - and counting!
