Frequently Asked Questions

Viridian Staffing provides temporary staffing services to licensed cannabis businesses in all legal markets in the United States, be they medical, recreational, or hemp.

Viridian Staffing can provide professional recruiting services to all licensed cannabis businesses in all legal markets, internationally.

When considering the cost of hiring a fractional executive in the cannabis industry, several factors come into play. These include the level of experience and expertise of the executive, the specific role and responsibilities they will undertake, as well as the duration of their engagement.

The cost associated with hiring a fractional executive can significantly vary based on these and other factors like the industry norms, location, and the level of specialized knowledge required.

Fractional executives are typically brought on board on a part-time or interim basis to offer specialized leadership and expertise in key areas such as finance, marketing, operations, or technology.

Fractional executives and consultants offer distinct skill sets and benefits. Fractional executives are experienced C-suite leaders who work part-time with a company, providing strategic guidance and helping build internal competencies. They resemble general contractors overseeing a construction project, not just coordinating the overall process but also ensuring that the right foundation is laid for future development. In contrast, consultants are more like skilled tradespeople, such as plumbers or electricians. They deliver targeted advice and practical solutions, often ideal for short-term projects or addressing specific issues.

The choice between a fractional executive and a consultant typically hinges on the scale and length of the endeavor. Companies may seek a fractional executive to assist with overarching strategies and mentorship, while hiring a consultant may be more appropriate for tasks that require specialized expertise or operational efficiency within a specific area of the business. The decision often revolves around whether the goal is long-term guidance and skill-building or focused, short-term problem-solving within the organization.
