Get started

Hire without running recruiting yourself

Today

Recruiting becomes your side job — sourcing, screening, and coordinating instead of building your company.

With High Five

Turn hiring into a system that runs in the background — so you stay focused on product, growth, and making the final call.

Save weeks of time

Today

Every open role turns into a slow grind of back-and-forth messages, calendar juggling, and pipeline rebuilding from scratch.

With High Five

Activate a continuous hiring engine that delivers qualified candidates automatically, so roles move forward quickly, without draining your calendar.

Get interview-ready candidates, not just resumes

Today

You get flooded with CVs that look good on paper but fall apart in interviews, leaving you to do the real screening yourself.

With High Five

Our autonomous recruiter screens, evaluates, and shortlists for real role fit, so you meet candidates who are ready to interview, not just apply.

Hire talent without agency fees

Today

You pay 15–25% success fees for every hire. Turning recruiting into a one-time transaction instead of a long-term system.

With High Five

Pay a simple flat monthly subscription per search. No success fees, no surprises, just continuous hiring support.

Designed for founders, not HR teams

Today

Most recruiting tools assume you have a full HR team — complex workflows, bloated dashboards, and processes built for large enterprises.

With High Five

No bloated dashboards. No HR bureaucracy. Just a hiring system built for operators.

Recruitment Is broken.
Hiring is now infrastructure.

Recruitment was built as a relationships business. But hiring is not a networking problem, it’s a systems problem.

Every company repeats the same manual steps: sourcing from scratch, screening CV piles, running the same interviews, coordinating endlessly.

It’s slow, inconsistent, and dependent on individual heroics.

Yet hiring is one of the most critical levers in building a great company. That mismatch is exactly why it needs to be rebuilt.

At High Five, we believe recruitment should operate like infrastructure.

Structured. Repeatable. Continuously improving.

Our autonomous recruiter uses AI agents to source, screen, match, and coordinate – learning from every piece of feedback to get smarter over time.

No noise. No success-fee incentives. Just a compounding system designed to deliver signal at scale.

Humans still play a decisive role – not in processing resumes, but in exercising judgment.

AI handles repetition and pattern recognition, humans make conviction calls, assess nuance, and define what “great” looks like.

Recruitment isn’t disappearing. It’s evolving into a human-AI system, and we’re building the engine behind it.

FAQ

How is this different from a recruitment agency?

We don’t charge success fees or work on one-off placements. High Five is a subscription-based hiring system that continuously sources, screens, and matches candidates for you.

What roles can you help with?

Primarily tech and product roles (software engineers, data, product, design), but we also support accounting, finance, marketing, operations, legal, and other business functions across Southeast Asia.

How does pricing work?

You pay a flat monthly fee per active search slot. No percentage of salary. No placement fees. Cancel anytime.

Do humans still review candidates?

Yes. Our AI agents handle sourcing, screening, and coordination. Humans apply judgment, assess nuance, and ensure quality before candidates reach you.

How fast can we start?

You can set up in minutes. Once a role is defined, sourcing and screening begin immediately — with qualified candidates delivered to you every week.

What if we don’t hire anyone?

You’re not locked into long-term contracts. Because we operate on a subscription model, you can pause or cancel at any time.

Which countries do you cover?

We focus on Southeast Asia — including Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, and Singapore — with deep local market knowledge.

How do you ensure candidate quality?

We don’t just pass resumes. Every candidate is screened for skills, experience, and role alignment before you see them, so interviews start with signal, not guesswork.

Do we need to use your ATS or change our hiring process?

No. High Five works alongside your existing workflow. You can keep your current interview process. We simply deliver qualified, interview-ready candidates into it.
