Why are Filipino developers so competitive for global companies?

The Philippines produces a large pool of English-fluent software engineers, data professionals, and product-focused developers with direct experience at regional and global companies. Filipino developers consistently work across time zones that overlap with US, European, and Australian business hours. High Five’s talent network covers this market with deep local sourcing that manual recruiters cannot match at scale.

Backend and full-stack engineer

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get a shortlist of Philippine developers?

High Five’s 5-step pipeline moves from role definition to a qualified shortlist in days, not weeks. Once you set up the role, AI agents begin sourcing and the first batch of reviewed candidates arrives within your first weekly delivery cycle.

Does High Five only cover tech roles?

No. High Five covers software engineering, data, product, and design roles, plus accounting, finance, marketing, operations, and legal functions. For companies hiring in the Philippines, tech and product roles are a common starting point but the platform handles full-team buildouts.

What does "pre-screened" actually mean?

Pre-screened means the candidate has been sourced by AI, scored against your specific role requirements, and reviewed by a human recruiter before reaching your inbox. You skip unqualified inbound applications and exploratory screening calls entirely.

Is there a long-term contract or lock-in?

No. High Five runs on a flat monthly subscription that you can pause or cancel at any time. There are no placement fees triggered by a hire and no minimum commitment period.

Can High Five source developers from other Southeast Asian markets too?

Yes. High Five covers Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, and Singapore. Companies that want to run parallel searches across markets, or shift focus between countries, can do so within the platform.

How is High Five different from a job board like JobStreet or LinkedIn Jobs?

Job boards require you to manage inbound volume, screen applications manually, and run your own sourcing. High Five handles the sourcing and screening with AI and human review, delivers only pre-vetted shortlists, and charges a flat subscription rather than per-post or per-hire fees. The system also learns from your feedback to improve candidate quality over time.

What kinds of companies are already using High Five?

Customers include Hupo, Cinch, Agridence, Nafas, PayMongo, and SkinSeoul. The platform is used by fast-growing startups, digital marketing agencies, software development firms, and BPO operators that want a cost-effective, systematic alternative to traditional hiring across Southeast Asia.
