Companies in Ghent, Belgium can run their whole hiring process on Pitch N Hire's applicant tracking system — job posting, a branded careers page, resume parsing, interview scheduling, scorecards and team collaboration — with a free-forever plan for one user. It works anywhere on the web, so a Ghent team can manage local and offshore hiring from one place.
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software a team uses to manage hiring end-to-end: posting jobs to boards and a branded careers page, collecting and parsing applications, moving candidates through pipeline stages, scheduling interviews, capturing structured scorecards, and collaborating on decisions. Pitch N Hire's ATS (its 'Operate' product) does all of this in the browser, with a free-forever tier for a single user and paid plans as a team grows. Because it is web-based it serves companies anywhere — a team can run its local recruitment and any offshore hiring from the same system, with reporting on time-to-fill and source performance so the process stays measurable rather than run over email and spreadsheets.
Create roles once and publish to your branded careers page and multiple job boards, so applications flow into one organised pipeline instead of scattered inboxes.
Resumes are parsed and candidates captured automatically, with duplicates merged, so your team starts from a clean, searchable candidate database.
Drag candidates through customisable stages, leave notes, and keep everyone aligned on where each person is — no more spreadsheet status-chasing.
Schedule interviews, share structured scorecards, and gather feedback in one place so hiring decisions are consistent and comparable across interviewers.
Dashboards show time-to-fill, source performance and pipeline conversion, so a team can see what's working and hire more predictably over time.
Pitch N Hire's applicant tracking system covers the full hiring workflow in one place:
Ghent is a fast-growing knowledge economy driven by one of Belgium's largest universities and a dense biotech and life-sciences cluster around its science park. Demand centres on bioinformatics, life-sciences software, data engineering and clean-tech, alongside a healthy web and product-startup scene. The city's research base and spin-out culture keep a steady flow of technically deep graduates entering the local talent market each year.
Ghent talent is research-flavoured and strong in bioinformatics, data science, Python, backend engineering and scientific software, reflecting its university and biotech roots. English is common in research-adjacent teams alongside Dutch. The pool is high-quality but concentrated in specialist domains, so senior data and platform roles outside biotech can be competitive, leading employers to supplement offshore.
Ghent developer salaries sit below Brussels and broadly in line with other Flemish hubs, with senior engineers often around EUR 55k-80k plus employer charges. Employers scaling data or product engineering, or adding skills beyond the biotech niche, frequently blend local Ghent hires with offshore India-based engineers to widen the pool and manage blended cost.
For Ghent biotech and product teams, PNH supplies offshore engineering capacity — vetted India-based developers and data engineers employed through an Employer of Record on CET-overlapping hours — to accelerate data, platform and integration work without stretching a specialist-heavy local talent pool or adding Belgian entity overhead.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Ghent 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.
