Max Resnik joined the Direct Recruiters team as Cannabis Practice Leader, working closely with Partner, Norm Volsky and the Digital Health recruiting team. As a cannabis recruiter, Max is taking the opportunity in this rapidly growing space to effect positive change for both large, established companies and companies that are just getting a foothold in the industry.

The DRI Cannabis team understands that for companies to thrive, talented people with specific knowledge of the state-by-state nuances will need to be in leadership positions. The cannabis industry is unique and unlike any other industry today, so Max strives to approach it with an open mind, ready to learn from the people who’ve already found success in the field. Max performs robust searches to match candidates aiming to advance their careers in this industry with leading organizations.

Prior to joining DRI, Max had the opportunity to live in cities across the country as a three-time Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist. The stories Max told are wide-ranging, from standing on front lines of wildfires and chasing tornadoes, to interviewing elected officials and covering government hearings. He previously lived and reported/anchored in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Tulsa, Oklahoma and Sacramento, California. Max has a Bachelor of Science in Journalism from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University.

Outside of his work at Direct Recruiters, Max finds his greatest joy in being a husband and father. He and his wife have a daughter and son. They also have a dog. They love going on hikes, seeing live music and exploring all that Cleveland has to offer. Max is a huge collector of vinyl and enjoys reading history and non-fiction books.
