Consequently, working with a specialized cannabis staffing firm can be invaluable, as it provides access to pre-screened candidates who meet these critical qualifications.

What People Are Saying about vangst

I had a great experience with Vangst. My recruiter made sure to stay in contact with me throughout the hiring process and checked in after every interview to make sure it went well. She also reached out to the company on my behalf and did her best to expedite the hiring process. She had a very positive and encouraging attitude and I felt like I had an ally throughout the entire experience. I’d highly recommend Vangst.

My business, Canna Advisors - known for our industry expertise, hires exclusively through Vangst Talent Nework. Thusfar, we have hired 8 employees through her firm and they have been a great culture fit for us. We have known Karson Humiston for several years now and know that she is a brilliant, ethical and hard-working person. Her team is very responsive to our requests, and we recommend Vangst to all of our clients, nationwide. I suspect that any negative review is more about people not wanting to follow the terms of a contract or hurt because Vangst could not find a placement for them. Not all people are worth hiring!

— Diane Czarkowski

I have worked with Vangst over time for recruiting services and I rarely write reviews, but felt this one is well deserved. The company is a pleasure to work with. I used to work in the big corporate world and I managed many contracts for recruiting myself. I can honestly say, Vangst is very timely with providing candidates and most importantly the candidates they present are all viable candidates. In addition to that, the employees and the owner have great customer service and are a pleasure to do business with.

Wonderful professional network for the cannabis industry! Community, advice, and info for those already working who want to share with peers and hopefuls. Salary guides, hiring advice, and job postings are very useful and the staff are quick to answer emails. Love Vangst!

— Lily Atwood

Worked as a gig worker for Vangst over the last few months until I found a full time job. Working with Rob Adamski was a terrific experience. Communication was on point and worked with me as far as job preference, location, and frequency. COVID has not been great for the gig worker industry as a whole, but I was able to maintain employment at multiple sites thanks to Vangst and Rob specifically. Had problems with the HCM app as others have stated but the ease vs. struggles of utilizing their gig service was 100% worth it in my opinion. Would recommend to anyone that wants to get their foot in the door with the industry or looking for consistent part time work.

— Dan Flynn
