The first time Michael Ray hosted a cannabis industry job fair, roughly five employers and 150 job seekers showed up. It was the summer of 2014, and the executive director of Bloom Farms – a medical cannabis company based in San Francisco – organized the event, in part, to recruit a “talented, passionate team” for his own purposes.
It immediately became clear that this would not be a one-time thing.
“It was a huge success. Each one of the employers hired multiple people and… what happened next was ten people emailed me and asked when we were going to do this again,” Ray told Civilized.
On Saturday, Ray will welcome 22 employers and more than 1,000 job seekers to the New West Summit’s San Francisco Bay Area Cannabis Career & Job Fair.
