Mark Enlow discusses how to recognize Executive talent for the Cannabis Industry
Successful Executive Recruitment for the Cannabis Industry Is All About Process, Mark Enlow and Associates Say
Most cannabis companies are in start-up mode, Mark Enlow and Associates report from California. Not only are company cultures, roles, and standard operating procedures in a state of flux, cannabis cultures face constantly changing local, state, and federal regulations and evolving finance options. These challenges are reasons to tailor executive recruitment to each client’s unique needs, says Mark Enlow, an expert in executive recruitment for highly regulated industries. For Enlow, successful recruitment for executive positions in the cannabis industry begins with defining the job.
Define the Position Before Launching the Search, Mark Enlow Says
The cannabis industry abounds with talented growers whose experience in growing and marketing cannabis was, until recently, how should we put it, entirely informal. In even the largest off-the-books operations, managers and owners were forced to wear many hats, constantly working around bottlenecks in supply chains and sales opportunities.
Pre-legalization experience in the industry can be valuable, but modern corporate structures require clearly defined roles for their executives. Every executive search committee must outline their executives’ expectations before beginning their search. The executive recruitment consultant, of course, can be extremely valuable in this process.
Mark Enlow and Associates ask their cannabis clients to cooperate with an intake process before launching an executive talent search. They can also help cannabis companies design an appropriate and attractive compensation package for attracting established talent from other industries.
