High Five is a subscription platform, not an agency. Instead of paying 15 to 25% of a hire’s salary as a placement fee, you pay one flat monthly rate. AI agents run the sourcing and screening continuously, and internal recruiters do a final quality check before any candidate reaches you.
Autonomous AI agents scan LinkedIn, GitHub, and niche communities simultaneously, covering sourcing channels that manual recruiters cannot match at scale. Candidates are scored against your role requirements automatically. Human expert reviewers then apply judgment before the shortlist reaches you. The result is a 5-step pipeline that moves from role definition to a qualified shortlist in days, not weeks.
High Five is built specifically for founders and operators who need to hire without building a recruiting function from scratch. Define your role in minutes, and the system builds the search strategy automatically. There are no complex dashboards or enterprise workflows to navigate.
No dedicated HR team required
Integrates into your existing interview process without changing how you work
System improves candidate quality over time based on your feedback
One active search slot per subscription keeps scope clear and costs predictable
After role setup, High Five runs in the background as always-on hiring infrastructure. You receive pre-screened, shortlisted candidates on a weekly basis. You only meet candidates who are already vetted and high-intent, so your team skips the initial screening calls entirely.
Weekly rhythm:
AI agents source and screen continuously
Human reviewers verify quality before delivery
You receive a shortlist, review profiles, and schedule interviews
Feedback you provide trains the system for the next round
