High Five is an AI-powered hiring platform that sources and screens product designers on a flat monthly subscription. No placement fees, no success fees, no agency markups.
Qualified professionals placed with top-tier organizations
From first contact to signed offer, faster than anyone else
Trusted by startups and enterprise teams across industries
Top talent that stays, performs, and grows with your team
The traditional agency model charges 15 to 25% of first-year salary per hire, and recruiters work business hours while your search sits idle. High Five replaces that model entirely. AI agents run your product designer search around the clock, and human expert reviewers assess every shortlist before it reaches you.
Autonomous AI agents scan LinkedIn, GitHub, and niche design communities simultaneously, pulling from a talent network that includes professionals previously employed at leading regional companies such as Tokopedia. No single recruiter covers that surface area manually. The system then scores every profile against your role requirements automatically, so only the strongest candidates advance.
Markets covered:
Indonesia
Product and UX design, early-stage to growth
Vietnam
UI/UX, product design, digital product teams
Philippines
Product design, design systems, SaaS experience
Malaysia
Product and visual design, fintech and e-commerce
Singapore

Pre-screened, shortlisted product designers land in your inbox on a weekly cadence. Each candidate has passed AI scoring and a human expert review, so you skip the first-round screening calls entirely and meet only high-intent candidates who are ready to interview. The platform integrates into your existing interview workflow without requiring you to change anything about how you already hire.
What is included in every subscription:
Role setup and automated search strategy built in minutes
AI sourcing running 24/7 with no manual input required
Human recruiter review of every AI-selected candidate
Weekly shortlist delivery of product designers
Continuous improvement as the system learns from your feedback
Cancel or pause at any time, no lock-in
