Contingent Search
Retained Search
Strategic. Responsive. Relationship-Driven.
At Ohana we’re not just here to fill vacancies - we're here to elevate your workforce. Whether you're looking to make a fast hire or secure strategic leadership, we offer two core recruitment models designed to deliver results: Contingent Search and Retained Search.
Each model is crafted to serve a different kind of need, but both are built on one non-negotiable principle: outstanding outcomes through trusted partnerships.
Fast, Flexible, Focused.
