What Bishop & Company does

Bishop & Company is a privately held, locally-owned staffing agency headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, founded in 2006 by Owner & President Judy Bishop. The company provides temporary staffing, temp-to-hire, direct hire, and executive search services to Hawaii-based employers across administrative, IT, construction, healthcare, hospitality, and other industries, while also serving Hawaii-based job seekers seeking employment across all career levels. Its product surface is built around three core engagement models—Temporary, Temp-to-Hire, and Direct Hire—complemented by specialized practices in Administrative Staffing, IT Staffing, and Executive Search.

The underlying technology is intentionally minimal. The company's central platform is the jobs.bishopco.net job board, which supports resume uploads, candidate accounts, job alerts, and social login integrations with LinkedIn, Facebook, X, and Indeed. The company explicitly does not use AI or algorithmic screening; every resume is personally reviewed by an experienced recruiter using human judgment, which the company positions as a core differentiator in Hawaii's relationship-driven hiring market. Content marketing is delivered through a blog with 302+ entries authored by Judy Bishop, and the company distributes services via direct employer engagement (phone, website forms, in-person consultations) and the self-serve job portal.

Bishop & Company makes money through professional services fees on staffing placements: temporary staffing is billed on hourly markup rates, while direct hire and executive search placements are typically structured as a percentage of annual salary as a contingency fee. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company operates exclusively in the state of Hawaii, has 51–100 employees, and has no external investors, parent company, or funding history on record.
