End-to-end hiring timeline for senior engineering talent.

The goal

PayMongo wanted to expand its engineering capabilities by hiring senior tech talent from Indonesia, but without an established business entity, they needed a compliant and efficient way to onboard and support local engineers. Their goal was to build a strong technical presence in the market while ensuring all hiring and HR processes were handled properly from day one.

The solution

High Five supported PayMongo by quickly sourcing and presenting top engineering talent from Indonesia, consistently filling roles within a 3-4 week timeline. We handled local employment, contracts, onboarding, payroll, benefits, and ongoing HR support under our Indonesian entity. We also arranged private insurance coverage for their team members.This allowed PayMongo to scale their engineering team smoothly and professionally, without the immediate need to set up their own legal entity in the country.

The result

  • 18 senior software engineering roles successfully onboarded.
  • Strong pipeline of qualified Indonesian candidates consistently presented.
  • High-performing engineers who integrated well and continue to contribute to core product work.
  • A seamless, low-effort hiring process with all HR and compliance handled end-to-end.
