Pitch N Hire's executive search helps Florianopolis, 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 Florianopolis 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:
Florianopolis, the island capital of Santa Catarina, has grown into one of Brazil's most notable technology hubs, driven by an exceptional quality of life that attracts and retains developers. It has a mature SaaS and startup ecosystem, a strong software-services sector and a reputation as a magnet for remote-first tech talent from across Brazil. Demand centres on product, web and cloud engineers, and the city's lifestyle pull helps employers attract candidates who might otherwise cluster in Sao Paulo.
Florianopolis talent is strong in SaaS product engineering, web and full-stack development, cloud and DevOps, with a notable concentration of software-services and remote-first professionals. Common stacks include JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, Python, .NET and cloud platforms. The pool is high-quality and sticky thanks to lifestyle draw, though smaller than the major metros, so niche senior roles can be competitive and reward a focused, well-run hiring process.
Florianopolis developer salaries are competitive for Brazil while generally below Sao Paulo, with senior software engineers often around R$140k–R$240k per year. The lifestyle premium helps retention, so employers compete more on culture and flexibility than on headline pay; structured recruitment reaches the best candidates quickly, and offshore India augmentation can add capacity when local supply is tight.
Floripa's strong, retention-friendly local pool makes Brazilian recruitment the natural first step, but PNH can add vetted India-based engineers via staff augmentation and its India-first Employer of Record for extra scale or specialist skills. The India-Floripa time gap of about 8.5 hours limits synchronous overlap, so offshore pods here fit specialist or asynchronous workstreams rather than fully live teams.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Florianopolis 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.
