Employer of Record (EOR): how it works for Sydney teams
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a company that legally employs workers on your behalf in a country where you have no entity, taking on payroll, tax withholding, benefits, contracts and statutory compliance while the worker delivers under your day-to-day direction. Pitch N Hire's EOR strength is India: it lets a business anywhere hire and retain Indian engineering talent compliantly — with correct employment contracts, payroll and provident-fund/tax handling — without registering an Indian subsidiary. This removes the cost, delay and legal risk of setting up a foreign entity, and pairs naturally with staff augmentation when you want PNH to both source and employ your offshore team.
- Employ India-based talent with no local entity or subsidiary
- Compliant contracts, payroll, tax and statutory benefits handled end-to-end
- Removes the cost and delay of setting up a foreign entity
- Pairs with staff augmentation for sourced-and-employed offshore teams
- Reduces legal and permanent-establishment risk
- Predictable monthly cost instead of entity + finance overhead

You identify the person you want to employ in India — either someone Pitch N Hire sourced for you, or a candidate you found yourself who you want employed compliantly. -
Compliant contract
PNH issues a locally-compliant Indian employment contract with the correct terms, benefits and statutory entitlements, so the engagement is legally sound from day one. -
Onboarding & payroll setup
The employee is onboarded onto PNH's Indian payroll, with tax, provident fund and benefits configured correctly — no Indian entity or local finance function needed on your side. -
You direct the work
The employee works under your day-to-day direction, in your tools and process, while PNH remains the legal employer of record for compliance purposes. -
Ongoing compliance
PNH runs monthly payroll, tax filings, statutory contributions and HR administration, and keeps everything compliant as regulations change — you get a report, not a paperwork burden.

What the EOR handles
As your Employer of Record in India, Pitch N Hire takes on the full employment burden:
The Sydney hiring market for this role
Sydney is Australia's financial capital and its biggest technology market, anchored by the ASX, the headquarters of the major banks, and Macquarie, alongside a maturing startup scene around the Tech Central precinct at Eveleigh. Regtech, payments and enterprise cloud dominate local demand, and because the city leans heavily on skilled migration to close engineering gaps, roles in cloud, data and cybersecurity routinely stay open for months.
The Sydney workforce is weighted toward engineers who have worked inside banks, insurers and large platform companies, with particular depth in cloud architecture, payments integration and regulated-data handling. As Atlassian's home city, it also seeds a strong product and developer-tooling culture. Steep rents and reliance on skilled migration keep the senior end of the market tight, pushing teams to look beyond the harbour for extra capacity.
Cost & the offshore option in Sydney
Pay in Sydney is the steepest in the country; experienced engineers commonly sit around AUD 140k–190k before superannuation, and specialist cloud or security people command more. Placing part of the team offshore in India through PNH keeps a comparable skill level on the roster at a lower total cost, letting Sydney companies reserve budget for the client-facing roles that genuinely need to sit locally.
The real constraint for Sydney teams is the clock: AEST runs well ahead of India, so PNH structures offshore pods around a morning-in-India / afternoon-in-Sydney overlap plus disciplined asynchronous handoffs, rather than a full shared day. Engineers are vetted, onboarded and employed through PNH's India Employer of Record, giving a Sydney business round-the-clock progress and added capacity without registering an Australian entity.
