About KeHalo
Precision Hiring. Total Team Success™. Proven ROI.
Since 1999, KeHalo has been building what most recruiting firms only promise: high-trust, high-impact teams that fuel measurable growth and outlast market shifts. We don’t gamble with your talent strategy. We engineer it.
In an industry bloated with transactional recruiters and one-size-fits-all placement models, KeHalo stands apart. We pioneered Total Team Success Recruiting™, a rigorously tested, insight-driven framework that transforms every hire into a high-yield business asset.
Why KeHalo Exists
After 20+ years in the recruiting industry, we saw the pattern too clearly:
Every mis-hire, underperformer, and cultural mismatch silently drains capital, momentum, and morale. Yet too many organizations treat mediocre recruiting as unavoidable. We don’t.
KeHalo was built to change the math.
Because when you hire right, every dollar doesn’t just come back — it comes back multiplied.
Our purpose is simple but relentless:
To make hiring your highest ROI investment — not your costliest risk.
Our clients choose us because they want more than résumés.
They want high-trust relationships, precise alignment, and talent that multiplies business value year after year.

The Logo as a Living Standard
At the heart of our logo, and leading the way, is a clean, modern halo.
A symbol of trust and clarity that defines everything we build around it.
Inside it, three minimalist figures rise, each one standing taller than the last.
They represent the compounding value of aligned hiring:
- When individuals grow
- When teams elevate
- When culture and momentum follow
The halo also reflects KeHalo’s broader role:
A safety net and a springboard, built to bolster the liberty and security of individuals, families, and small/mid-sized enterprises (SMEs).
It’s not just a design.
It’s a standard.
A visual contract and commitment.
A signal of everything we stand for.
Beneath the Movement
We’ve been building this since January 1999. Starting at that time under the banner of ‘Belcher & Associates Specialized Recruiting LLC’
Not loud. Not fast.
But with intention — quietly, steadily taking a less traveled path plus doing hard work better.
Learning, refining what great hiring should look like.
We continually challenged the recruiting status quo because we knew that hiring and team building could be better.
We helped build companies.
Transform teams.
Unlock careers.
And through it all, one truth kept showing up:
When hiring is rooted in trust and alignment, everything rises.
Like two rising tides, trust and alignment lift everyone’s boats — teams, cultures, and outcomes alike.
The Meaning Behind the Name
KeHalo Pronunciation (keh-HAY-loh)
“Ke” (Hawaiian: “the”)
Represents clarity, decisiveness, belonging—“the chosen,” “the defined,” “the one.” It embodies trust and intentionality.
“Halo” (Latin/Greek)
Symbolizes light, protection, and integrity. It reflects the environment intentionally built around every hire, client, and mission.
KeHalo = “The Halo”
A protective, empowering circle designed to elevate people, safeguard culture, and unlock potential. A steady light in hiring, leadership, and life, aligning people and opportunities so everyone rises.
The Deeper Cultural Values That Guide Us
Though our founder and his sister moved away from Hawai‘i young, the islands’ spirit—community, humility, stewardship—remains a deep inspiration. We honor these values intentionally in how we build, lead, and serve at KeHalo:
Kuleana (Shared Responsibility)
We care for what we create, together. Every hire is a promise.
ʻOhana (Family & Belonging)
Clients, candidates, teammates—we’re one chosen team. We win and grow together.
Lokahi (Harmony & Alignment)
Total Team Success™ in action: Right people, right roles, shared purpose.
Pono (Integrity & Balance)
We say what we mean, challenge assumptions, and always ask: “What’s the right thing to do?” We don’t seek easy—just excellence in doing hard work better.
Aloha (Compassionate Presence)
Aloha is showing up fully, leading with respect, listening with care. We meet people where they are and support who they’re becoming.
Why KeHalo
KeHalo builds high-performing teams because we believe team-building is sacred, trust transforms teams, and alignment changes everything.
People, and the organizations they power, deserve better than transactional recruiting. Because the right hire at the right time can transform companies and lives.
Why We Build
We build because the world doesn’t fix itself.
Trust isn’t automatic.
Good enough isn’t good enough.
We build quietly, steadily, and purposefully—creating a platform, a safety net, a springboard for long-term success.
We build because it needs to exist
and we’re not waiting for anyone else.
