How to hire strong mobile app developers in Southeast Asia

High Five’s sourcing process scans LinkedIn, GitHub, and niche tech communities around the clock, reaching candidate pools that a manual recruiter cannot cover at the same scale. The talent network includes professionals with experience at regional companies like Tokopedia and comparable global-scale tech firms. Employers receive a shortlist without running a single sourcing session themselves.

Channels covered:

  • LinkedIn profiles and activity signals
  • GitHub repositories and contribution history
  • Niche mobile development communities and forums
  • High Five’s own regional talent network

How does High Five screen mobile app developers before they reach you?

Every candidate profile is scored automatically against your role requirements, then reviewed by an internal recruiter before delivery. You only meet candidates who are pre-vetted and shortlisted. That means no wasted screening calls and no sorting through unqualified applications.

High Five runs on a flat monthly subscription. There are no success fees, no placement fees, and no lock-in. Traditional agency models charge 15 to 25% of a hire’s first-year salary. High Five replaces that entirely with one predictable monthly cost, and you can pause or cancel at any time.

What the subscription includes:

  • icon One active search slot per month
  • icon Role setup completed in minutes, with search strategy built automatically
  • icon Weekly delivery of interview-ready candidate shortlists
  • icon Continuous improvement as the system learns from your feedback

Does High Five cover specialist mobile roles, not just generalist engineers?

Yes.

  • iOS developers (Swift, Objective-C)
  • Android developers (Kotlin, Java)
