Ignite Cannabis Co.

The Challenge

How would you like a job that pays $100,000/year, sends you traveling to the best party spots and gives you access to amazing events? Does this sound a little too good? Well, this is what Ignite.co, a cannabis brand, offered to their next 10 Brand Ambassadors.

With such an amazing hiring package, Ignite expected a large volume of submissions. They would need a platform to receive applications over time, the means to schedule interviews and make the final hires.

Our Solution

Castifi was built to address issues specific to large crowds. But with Ignite’s Brand Ambassador search, we had to get back to work to create the right tool. We designed a public-facing application form and a “pre-boarding gallery” to manage submissions quickly and easily.

Over a period of 6 months, more than 2,700 people submitted for the job. It soon became obvious that there was an opportunity to hire more than just 10 brand ambassadors. We added custom code to the “pre-boarding gallery” so that in addition to moving applicants through rounds of selections, Ignite’s in-house staff could also segment users into various positions other than Brand Ambassadors.

Ignite is now using the same tool that we work with on the day to day to send availability requests, hire, and track their freelancers’ pool. And because Ignite is always looking ahead, they are now converting their database into a fully-fledged Model Agency.
