The only partner you need to execute your hiring plan

Working for growing tech companies since 2006.

We are headquartered in Seattle, WA, but advise companies around the world, whether it be foreign, or western based companies looking to expand internationally.

The startup and tech community is the lifeblood of the economy, and we have a deep passion for helping shape these companies into successful brands. Hiring is the #1 challenge for companies and getting that right hire can save the company a lot of money in the long and short term. We make that process easier by putting together a precise hiring plan.

HighPointe Partners is a Talent Advisory firm. We specialize in putting together a plan to identify, search, recruit, and place the best talent for many startups and scaling companies in the fields of Machine Learning/AI, Dev Tools & Computing Infrastructure, Data/Analytics, and Cybersecurity. We are not your typical recruiter, we do deep dive research, talent mapping, and put together a hiring plan to be executed over a specific period of time. Our almost 19 years of knowledge of hiring and identifying top talent, along with the vast amount of AI tools to augment the process makes us the GO TO partner for any and all talent identification and placement.


We work with earlier-stage companies, usually Seed to C (sometimes later) that are generally highly technical, looking to build out their GTM team. There is nothing that we can't help you with while trying to build the next great tech company. No matter your location, we recruit in all metropolitan areas around the globe. No secret sauce here, just long-standing relationships and the knack for seeking out the best passive candidates that could just be open to a new challenge.

You hire us, and you will be setting yourself up for immediate success

Areas of Practice


Go-To-Market

Our long-time specialty has been finding the top GTM talent. If you have needs in Sales, Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Product, and/or Marketing, we are the first firm you should call. Our network is vast and many of the top GTM talent around the world are always reaching out to us as the “go to” for the best roles.

We will put together an entire precise plan with talent mapping of your company, your competitors, identifying gaps that need filling in each function, where to seek out the talent, identify the desired candidates/candidate types, help craft specific job descriptions, and then get to work on filling the funnel with top notch candidates to execute on that hiring plan.


Interim Search

A fairly new endeavor at HighPointe, we have uncovered an opportunity where many of the executives we have worked with over the years have valued expertise that companies could use over a short or mid-term period, through a critical time. We can immediately get those candidates in, and all parties win.
