Raise your hand
HighFives is a network of go-to-market engineers companies trust with real systems. If that’s you, raise your hand below and we’ll email you a personal link to build your profile.
A real person reads every application and replies either way. No résumé gymnastics, no fees — candidates never pay.
Apply
Any email works, personal is fine. It takes about five minutes, and it is always free.
Get your link
We send you a personal link so you can build your profile at your own pace.
A human reviews it
A named person on our team reads your profile and replies either way.
Interview with us
A real conversation about systems you have run, not a timed quiz.
Published and credentialed
Your profile goes live only after we attest your track, and you get a permanent, publicly verifiable credential.
Candidates never pay, at any step. Not to apply, not to get certified, not to get hired.
Questions from candidates
Does HighFives cost me anything?
No. Never. Not for assessment, not for certification, not for placement, not for listing. The education is free, the community is free, the credential is free. A certifying body that charges candidates has a conflict of interest, so we built the whole model on the other side: companies pay when they hire.
What is the process, end to end?
Apply with any email; it takes about five minutes. You get a personal link to build your profile at your own pace. A named person on our team reviews it and we reply either way. Then we interview you: a real conversation about systems you have run, not a quiz. If we attest your track, your profile goes live and you get a permanent public credential.
I am between roles and only have a personal email. Can I still join?
Yes. Any email address works, personal included, whether you are joining as talent or browsing as a company. You never need a work email to use HighFives.
What are the tracks, and which one am I?
Three roles, deliberately never tiers: Workflow Builder (what should I build?), Systems Integrator (how should I build it?), and Revenue Architect (should we build it at all?). A great Workflow Builder is not a junior Revenue Architect, the same way a great sous chef is not a failed restaurateur. Our scope questions route you; you do not have to guess.
What do I actually get when I am verified?
A permanent credential with a public ID, like HF-SI-2026-K7Q2, at a public URL you can put on LinkedIn, in a signature, on a resume. It is machine-verifiable: any person, recruiting system, or AI agent can confirm it in one free API call, forever. It can expire or be revoked, but its facts can never be quietly edited.
Who sees my information?
Nothing about you renders publicly until a human has reviewed your profile and published it. Your email address is never shown to companies. Until you are published, your profile is only reachable by the private link in your hands.
How will assessments work?
When assessments open: 75 to 90 minutes of real work, async, on your schedule. AI tools are explicitly allowed, because using agents well is the skill we are verifying. AI helps pre-score against rubrics, but a human makes every pass or fail decision, and every candidate gets substantive feedback either way.
