One of the biggest hurdles you need to conquer when opening any business; is hiring employees.
- You can have your top questions ready to ask.
They will probably be questions you find on the internet pertaining to your business. I couldn’t imagine what I would do when trying to hire staff for my cannabis dispensary. I looked online for many hiring interviews. I read several ways to interview prospective employees and managers. None of them seemed to pertain to a cannabis dispensary hiring interview. I was at a required meeting for cannabis dispensary managers and they were talking about dispensary hiring solutions. There was a program we were all given to put on our computers. There were separate questions for management team, budtenders, and delivery drivers. When they talked about dispensary hiring solutions, it thrilled me. I was going to staff my dispensary and do it the right way. The first thing I had to do was download the dispensary hiring solutions and see what I had to do to use the program. It wasn’t the easiest computer program to learn, especially since I hated working with computers, but dispensary hiring solutions made it easier to interview and gave me a staff that wanted to work and wanted to learn how to do their jobs. I wanted people who wanted to learn more about cannabis than wanting a job that would help them get the cannabis at a cheaper price. Since I was working a medical cannabis dispensary, I couldn’t even offer discounts on their marijuana purchases unless they had a medical marijuana ID card.
