If you’re hiring in Hawaii, one of the smartest things you can do isn’t just post another job listing. Get in front of job seekers — in person. Career expos and hiring events are where the best connections happen. Why? Because Hawai`i’s job market is built on relationships, not just résumés. When candidates walk up to your booth, they’re not just looking for a job. They’re looking for a company that feels right. Here’s what works: ✅ Skip the hard sell. Start a real conversation. ✅ Share what makes your company uniquely local. ✅ Listen for cultural alignment, not just technical fit. When candidates meet you face-to-face, you go from being another online listing to being a real opportunity. Employers who show up at expos often tell me: “We found great candidates we never saw online.” “People opened up once we talked story.” “It helped them see who we really are.” In Hawaii’s tight-knit community, hiring success comes from connection. Be present. Be authentic. Build relationships. That’s how you attract — and keep — the talent that fits your company’s values.
