Pitch N Hire's executive search helps Belo Horizonte, Brazil companies hire senior engineering and leadership roles — heads of engineering, architects, and functional leaders — through a discreet, research-led process. PNH maps the market, approaches passive candidates and runs structured assessment, so a Belo Horizonte business fills business-critical leadership roles with rigour rather than relying on inbound applications.
Executive search is a targeted, research-led method for hiring senior and hard-to-fill leadership roles, where the best candidates are usually employed and not actively applying. Instead of posting a job and waiting, Pitch N Hire maps the relevant talent market, discreetly approaches qualified passive candidates, and runs structured, evidence-based assessment against the role's real requirements. This is used for engineering leadership, architecture, and specialist senior roles where a wrong hire is expensive and confidentiality matters. PNH's search process pairs experienced recruiters with structured interview tooling to keep the assessment consistent and defensible, whether the role is based locally or leads an offshore team.
We work with you to define the mandate — responsibilities, the outcomes the leader must deliver, and the competencies and experience that predict success in your context.
PNH researches and maps the relevant talent market, building a longlist of qualified people in comparable roles at comparable organisations — including those not actively looking.
Candidates are approached confidentially and professionally, protecting your employer brand and the candidates' current positions while gauging genuine interest and fit.
Interested candidates go through structured, evidence-based interviews and scorecards against the success profile, so the shortlist is comparable and defensible, not gut-feel.
You interview a small, high-quality shortlist; we support referencing, offer negotiation and a careful close, given how much a senior hire matters.
Research-led search suits senior and business-critical roles where a mis-hire is costly:
Belo Horizonte, capital of Minas Gerais, punches above its weight in software thanks to San Pedro Valley, a grassroots startup community that has produced notable SaaS and consumer-tech companies. The city pairs a strong engineering-education base with lower operating costs than Sao Paulo or Rio, attracting product startups and development centres. Demand concentrates on software, product and data engineers, and its collaborative ecosystem makes it a favoured base for scaling teams cost-effectively.
Belo Horizonte's talent pool is strong in software product engineering, web and mobile, backend in Java, Python, Ruby and Node.js, and a growing data and DevOps community, fed by respected local universities and a tight-knit developer scene. Quality is high and costs are lower than the coastal hubs, though the pool is smaller, so specialist senior roles can take time — a point where structured screening and, occasionally, offshore support help.
Belo Horizonte developer pay typically runs below Sao Paulo, with senior software engineers often in the region of R$130k–R$230k per year, reflecting lower living costs. The attractive cost base is a key reason startups and dev centres locate here; employers stretch budgets further with efficient recruitment and can add offshore India engineers for volume or niche skills when local supply is thin.
BH's cost-effective local pool usually makes Brazilian recruitment the first choice, but PNH can supplement it with vetted India-based engineers via staff augmentation and its India-first Employer of Record where extra capacity or specific skills are needed. The India-BH time difference of about 8.5 hours limits real-time overlap, so offshore pods here are best suited to specialist or asynchronous delivery.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Belo Horizonte 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.
