1076 HIGH TECH, HIGH TOUCH: STAFFING’S FUTURE

In this episode of "ThinkFuture," Chris, sits down with Kathleen Lin Hurtubise, the badass founder and CEO of Aloha HP, a staffing agency in Hawaii that’s all about mixing “high tech” with “high touch.” She kicked things off in 2015 after scoring a big gig for the Hawaii Convention Center and now runs three vibes: hospitality, light industrial, and admin roles. When the pandemic tanked her hospitality game, Kathleen flipped the script, spinning off a food delivery service to keep Aloha HP afloat—then poured that cash back into the biz. Their secret sauce? AI that snags top talent fast, paired with a human-first approach—think meditation onboarding and check-ins to keep workers feeling connected. Kathleen’s big on building community, especially for entry-level folks, with cool initiatives like “Best Self Through Service.” Looking to 2035, she sees AI shaking up work but says empathetic humans will still rule, with flexible, “whole person” staffing becoming the norm.---Connect with Kathleen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kat-lin-hurtubise/The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: ⁠https://10xyou.us⁠Get AIDAILY every weekday. ⁠https://aidaily.us⁠My blog: ⁠https://thinkfuture.com
