Companies in Sydney, Australia that want to employ engineering talent in India without opening a local entity can use Pitch N Hire as their Employer of Record. PNH legally employs each hire on your behalf and manages payroll, tax, benefits and statutory compliance, so a Sydney business can build a compliant offshore team quickly and focus on the work rather than the paperwork.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As your Employer of Record in India, Pitch N Hire takes on the full employment burden:
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.
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.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Sydney team's stage and workload — and mix them as you scale:
A pre-screened India talent pool means matched shortlists in days, not the months a local permanent hire can take.
You interview and choose every person; Pitch N Hire surfaces qualified candidates and handles the operational load.
Offshore hires are employed through PNH's India Employer of Record — payroll, tax and statutory compliance are taken care of.
Building part of your team offshore keeps comparable seniority on the roster at a lower total cost than local-only hiring.
Engineers work on overlapping working hours and inside your tools and sprints — collaboration, not black-box outsourcing.
Staffing, recruitment, EOR and the ATS/interview software come from one provider, so hiring stays joined-up as you scale.
Staffing and recruitment services, the applicant tracking software, and hiring resources — all in one place.
