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:
Sofia is Bulgaria's capital and its dominant technology centre, home to the largest cluster of IT-outsourcing, shared-services, enterprise-software and fintech operations in the country. Global firms run substantial delivery and R&D centres in the city, and a home-grown product scene — including payments and SaaS companies — has matured alongside them. The result is consistent demand for engineers, QA and support talent, with employers competing hardest for experienced mid-level and senior people.
Sofia's talent pool is the widest in Bulgaria, covering Java, .NET, JavaScript, Python, cloud, data and QA, shaped by years of outsourcing and enterprise delivery. The Technical University of Sofia and Sofia University feed a steady graduate pipeline, while an active fintech and SaaS scene has built product-engineering depth. Senior and specialist roles still draw heavy competition, so employers frequently blend local hires with offshore capacity.
Sofia pays Bulgaria's highest developer salaries, with senior software engineers commonly in the region of BGN 70,000–130,000 gross per year, and premiums for cloud, data and fintech skills. For teams managing budgets or filling volume roles quickly, offshore augmentation from India can add comparable seniority at a lower blended rate alongside local Sofia hires.
For Sofia's scale-ups and delivery centres, PNH provides an offshore extension of the team: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, overlapping much of the working day with EET, to add capacity for busy programmes without pushing further into Sofia's competitive local market or carrying new local headcount cost.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Sofia 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.
