Normally applicants who are not selected are not given details on why they were not selected. Current employees who are suggesting a friend or relative for hire will not be given the details on a selection decision.

Unlike some companies, Hale Makua may consider former employees for rehire. To be considered for rehire, the former employee should have resigned with notice and have had a satisfactory attendance and performance record. Previous employment at Hale Makua does not guarantee re-employment.

Please allow at least three (3) weeks before calling the Employment Coordinator to follow up on your application.
