Highr raises CHF 300K to disrupt recruitment

Highr has successfully closed its first funding round, raising CHF 300,000, with the notarial confirmation on Thursday, 14 December 2023. Contacted by Startupticker.ch, Co-founder Flavio Frei is enthusiastic: “The success of this funding round is a testament to the innovation and traction Highr has demonstrated in the HRtech sector. Our ability to raise funds in these challenging times highlights the market's confidence in our vision and the transformative potential of our technology.”

Highr is a recruiter enablement platform designed to transform the candidate experience. Its platform goes beyond conventional career pages, empowering recruiters to create a more dynamic and transparent interaction for candidates. The startup believes that Highr is not just a tool, but a comprehensive solution that enhances the hiring process and employer brand.

The platform enhances the candidate experience by offering a personalized candidate hub in which the recruiter can share authentic content about the job, the team, to answer candidates' concerns. It also uses templates to scale efficiently (hubs are white label for candidates), schedule interviews in two clicks and enables recruiters to take the pulse from the candidates thanks to live surveys. More developments are coming soon with the ability to give actionable feedback to candidates and monitor comprehensive engagement KPIs. These features collectively make the platform distinct and effective in improving recruitment processes.

Commercialization planned in Q1 2024

In another key business milestone, the HRTech startup just left the beta-testing phase with very positive feedback and commercialization is set to start in the first quarter 2024. Today the team is fully focused on product and business development as explains Flavio Frei: “We are dedicated to enhancing our platform and expanding our presence in the market. Scaling up our team is also on the horizon as we grow.” Highr was founded in February 2023. As of now, the startup currently relocating to Geneva has a core team of 3 people, supported by external experts, all committed to realizing the vision of Highr and see how it can transform recruitment practices and contribute to the Future of Work.
