Kahuna

Kahuna is a leading skills and competency management platform for technical and frontline workforces in healthcare, energy, manufacturing, and field services. Founded in 2018 and based in Houston, Texas, Kahuna was built by a team with deep experience in people data modeling, HR systems integration, and workforce operations. After seeing many HR and training tools fall short for both HR and Operations teams, we set out to create a solution that delivers accurate, real-time skills data so organizations can clearly see where gaps exist and take action.
