Executive search and staffing for Hawaii tech, finance, and federal sectors
AEP Hawaii is a 2–10-person staffing and executive search firm founded in 2020, operating across Hawaii and the West Coast. The tech stack—SQL Server, AWS, Azure, GCP, React, Node.js, Python, Java—is anomalous for a recruiting firm and suggests internal infrastructure built for candidate matching, skill assessment, or placement tracking rather than recruitment-focused SaaS. Hiring 8 open roles with heavy emphasis on senior engineers (7 of 8) signals either scaling delivery capacity or building deeper technical capabilities in-house.
AEP Hawaii partners with startups, enterprise organizations, federal contractors, and state agencies to place executive, technology, finance, and cleared professionals. The firm specializes in retained search, fractional recruiting, subscription-embedded recruiting models, cleared staffing and subcontracting, and consulting. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Honolulu, AEP markets itself around bringing local talent back to Hawaii and supporting the island economy through higher-paying job creation.
AWS, Azure, GCP, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, React, Node.js, Python, Java, TypeScript, C#, and Elasticsearch are in current use. The firm is adopting C++, Vue, Terraform, and expanding JavaScript/TypeScript coverage across its platform.
