Contract staffing gives Ghent, Belgium teams flexible, project-based engineering capacity without permanent headcount. Pitch N Hire supplies vetted contract engineers — primarily from India — employed and compliance-managed through its Employer of Record, so a Ghent company can staff a project for a fixed period and scale down cleanly when it ends.
Contract staffing provides engineers for a defined period or project rather than as permanent employees — ideal for fixed-scope builds, seasonal peaks, or covering a gap while you recruit. Pitch N Hire supplies vetted contract talent, mainly from India, and employs each contractor through its Employer of Record so contracts, payroll, tax and compliance are handled correctly and you carry no permanent-headcount liability. Contractors work under your direction inside your process, and you can extend, convert or release them as the project requires. This flexibility is useful for teams whose workload is uneven or who want to try talent before committing to a permanent or offshore-team arrangement.
Define the project, duration, skills and number of contractors you need. We agree on start date, extension options and how success will be measured.
PNH proposes vetted contract engineers with the right skills and availability from its India talent pool, usually within days, with profiles and rates.
You interview and choose; PNH puts each contractor on a compliant contract through its Employer of Record, so there is no permanent liability or entity for you to manage.
Contractors join your tools and sprints and deliver under your direction for the agreed term, with PNH handling payroll, compliance and administration.
At the end of the term you extend, convert to a longer arrangement, or release cleanly — flexible capacity that matches an uneven or project-driven workload.
Contract staffing fits situations where you need capacity for a defined window, not forever:
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.
