Hipo

Hipo is a hiring platform that gives in-house hiring teams access to exclusive, high potential, pre-vetted talent on a simple membership price. The company positions itself as the fastest way to hire quality talent, and states that a Hipo membership opens up a recruiter's pool of top performers. Its central promise is that it removes the need for an employer to attract, source, screen and recruit top talent, because that work has already been done, and it says it delivers on care, quality and efficiency. Hipo claims employers cut hiring time by 90 percent using its ready to go vetted talent, that it achieves 96 percent retention because candidates are aligned to mission, vision and values and therefore stay longer, and that it represents the top 10 percent of talent, accepted and referred by industry leaders. It has spent years examining the hiring challenges of over 1,000 companies.

The platform focuses on go-to-market roles, and the hires described by its customers bear that out, covering business development representatives, sales teams, customer success leads and customer success managers as well as roles from junior to manager level. Candidate profiles on the platform give employers direct LinkedIn access and set out what matters to each candidate, which customers say makes for stronger and more informed hiring decisions. Alongside the employer side, the platform runs a candidate waitlist, and job seekers describe choosing it because it selects roles based on skills and presents company information, including video, in one place.

Hipo lists top go-to-market jobs across North America together with remote roles. Employers who have used it include Dealer Media, TouchBistro, LevelJump, Stanley Black and Decker, FundThrough, Railz, Xello, Notch, League, Ideal.ai, Coinsquare, Sales Health Alliance, ThinkResearch, Fortay and IDENTOS. Their published feedback points to candidate quality, turnaround time, ease of use and results in a competitive hiring market, with one customer reporting a saving of 75 percent of hiring time compared with other job boards.
