To make the world’s best talent accessible to every company

Hiring takes more than posting a job. It takes understanding the role, finding the right people, earning their interest, and keeping the process moving. For companies hiring across Southeast Asia, that also means navigating unfamiliar talent markets and candidate expectations.

Our recruiters work with you to define the search, approach relevant candidates, assess their fit, and coordinate the steps through to an offer.

Our technology helps them search further, organize information, and spend more time on the conversations and judgment that make recruitment work.

You get qualified candidates, clear communication, and a team that learns from your feedback. As your priorities change, we help you focus on the next role that matters.

We believe growing companies should have access to capable recruiters who understand their business and help them build the team they need.

FAQ

What does High Five do?

High Five helps companies hire across Southeast Asia. Our recruiters work with you to understand the role, find and approach candidates, screen for fit, and coordinate the process through to an offer. Your team interviews the strongest candidates and makes the final hiring decision.

Your subscription includes role calibration, proactive sourcing, candidate outreach, initial screening, candidate recommendations, interview coordination, and offer support. You also get access to your High Five workspace to review candidates and share feedback.

Yes. You’ll work with an assigned recruiter who understands your requirements, speaks with candidates, and refines the search based on your feedback. The subscription provides fractional recruiting support, so your recruiter supports other clients too.

We recruit for technology and business roles, including engineering, data, product, design, sales, marketing, finance, and operations. Our core focus is Southeast Asia. Share your role and preferred location, and we’ll assess how we can help.

Yes. We proactively identify and approach people who match your requirements, including candidates who aren’t actively applying for jobs. Each search is built around your brief.

Tell your recruiter what’s missing. We’ll use your feedback to refine the profile, adjust our sourcing, and improve subsequent recommendations. If the requirements or budget are limiting the search, we’ll discuss those trade-offs with you.

Yes. The subscription is month-to-month, and you can cancel future renewals. If you have another hiring need, you can also move your search slot to a different role.

Yes. Contingency recruitment is available for selected roles. We agree on the placement fee and engagement terms before starting the search. If you’re unsure which model fits, we can help you compare the options.
