Rad Recruitment Launches “AIRS – AI Recruitment Systems” to Help Cannabis Operators Hire Faster, Smarter, and at Lower Cost

LOS ANGELES – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Rad Recruitment Launches “AIRS – AI Recruitment Systems” to Help Cannabis Operators Hire Faster, Smarter, and at Lower Cost

Embedded, AI-powered talent system greatly reduces time-to-hire and talent spend while strengthening employer branding and compliance across tightly regulated markets.

September 9, 2025 — Rad Recruitment, a division of High End Search today announced the launch of AIRS – AI Recruitment Systems, the embedded, AI-powered talent acquisition solution designed specifically for the realities of the cannabis, hemp and psychedelic sectors today where margins are seeing ever increasing pressure.

AIRS turns hiring from a costly, transactional exercise into a repeatable, data-driven solution that compounds its own value with each search and hire.

“AI is not going to necessarily replace people from a recruitment perspective – it’s here to enhance them,” said Brian Caine founder and Chief Radical of Rad Recruitment. “AIRS gives cannabis operators a 24/7/365 talent engine that handles the sourcing and outreach, screening and scheduling, and reporting – so that cannabis leadership can focus on the human decisions that build great teams and keep operations humming smoothly.”

Built for Cannabis Reality

The cannabis industry’s complexities – shifting state-by-state rules, diverse operating models, testing and tax demands, capital constraints, and ever-thinning margins, requires hiring that is faster, more predictable, and more defensible. AIRS addresses these needs directly with standardized processes and structured interviews to provide repeatable templates for the business owner to use.

On the back end, scorecards and end-to-end documentation that align with the industry’s regulated operating style match how operators already think about their businesses.

Measurable Business Outcomes

AIRS delivers tangible improvements from day one: a continuous talent pipeline, 24/7 employment branding, multi-channel outreach and communication, interview scheduling control, and real-time analytics. Clients have realized significant reductions in time-to-hire and up to 60% savings in talent spend by replacing one-off agency fees with an embedded system that compounds efficiency over time.

“Cannabis operators don’t just need resumes or candidates – they need a repeatable hiring system they can own,” added Brian Caine “With AIRS, you get speed, governance, and real cost control in a new model that improves with every hire.”

• Predictable spend: A one-time implementation and low monthly retainer—especially impactful for recurring roles like budtenders, brand ambassadors, cultivation techs, production, compliance analysts, and retail managers.
• Controlled excellence: Consistent screening, structured interviews, bias-reducing scorecards, and defensible hiring decisions across locations and departments.
• Compounding benefits: Each search sharpens market maps, prompts, outreach sequences, and interview guidance, making the system smarter over time.
• Executive level access: Real-time dashboards reveal bottlenecks by region, facility, department, or store so leaders can adjust headcount strategy in real time.
• Employer brand lift: 24/7/365 solution that is constantly promoting your employer brand to the market, making you the employer of choice.
• Future-proof foundation: As your tech stack gains native AI, AIRS absorbs new capabilities without breaking process, maintaining audit trails and responsible AI practices.
