Operation Hire Hawaiʻi (OH-HI)

Operation Hire Hawaiʻi (OH-HI) is a targeted outreach initiative featuring an expedited state hiring process, fast-tracking qualified candidates into job opportunities throughout Hawaiʻi. This project aims to provide opportunities for individuals impacted by layoffs, resignations, loss of federal funding, and other interested job seekers. The State of Hawai’i is committed to respecting and valuing its employees. We welcome all applicants!

State agencies intend to expedite the hiring process. Applicants will be referred to hiring departments daily. Qualified applicants can anticipate hearing from hiring managers shortly thereafter. We encourage all job seekers to apply online and join our ‘ohana!
