For companies in Edmonton, Canada, staff augmentation is the fastest way to add capacity: Pitch N Hire supplies vetted, India-based engineers who slot into your team on overlapping working hours, with no local entity to set up. You keep control of the roadmap while PNH handles sourcing, vetting, employment and compliance, so you scale delivery in weeks rather than months.
Staff augmentation lets you extend your existing team with dedicated external engineers who work under your direction, using your tools, standups and sprint process — rather than outsourcing a whole project. Pitch N Hire sources this talent primarily from India's large engineering pool, screens for the specific stack and seniority you need, and employs each engineer through its Employer of Record so payroll, tax and compliance are handled for you. Because there is no local entity, contract, or long recruitment cycle to manage, augmented engineers can typically start within weeks and scale up or down as the roadmap changes — a flexible, lower-blended-cost complement to permanent local hiring.
Tell us the roles, tech stack, seniority and team culture you need. We align on time-zone overlap, communication cadence and the outcomes you want the augmented engineers to own.
From its pre-vetted India talent pool, Pitch N Hire returns a shortlist of engineers screened for the exact skills and level — usually within days, with profiles, assessments and availability.
You interview the candidates yourself (technical and cultural fit) using structured scorecards, and pick the people you want. You stay in control of every hiring decision.
Selected engineers are employed through PNH's Employer of Record and onboarded into your tools, repositories and sprint process, so they are productive quickly with compliance already handled.
As the roadmap changes you add or release capacity with short notice — no severance risk, no entity overhead — while PNH manages ongoing payroll, retention and administration.
Pitch N Hire can augment your team across the full engineering stack and adjacent roles:
Edmonton's technology scene is shaped by the University of Alberta, whose computing-science department produced foundational reinforcement-learning work and drew a DeepMind research lab to the city. That research gravity now sits beside Amii, one of Canada's three federally funded AI institutes, and an industrial economy in energy, oilsands automation and agriculture that increasingly hires software, data and robotics engineers to modernise heavy operations.
Edmonton talent runs deep in machine learning, reinforcement learning, data engineering and industrial software, fed by the University of Alberta and NAIT's applied programmes. Beyond the AI research pool, the city has practical strength in back-end systems, SCADA and automation tied to energy and manufacturing. Specialist ML and senior platform roles can be slow to close locally, prompting teams to blend in offshore engineers for delivery capacity.
Edmonton developer pay generally sits below Toronto and Vancouver, with senior software engineers often around C$105k–C$140k, reflecting Alberta's lower living costs and no provincial sales tax. Even at these competitive levels, Edmonton employers scaling delivery or reserving scarce ML specialists for research-grade work frequently combine local hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced through PNH at a lower blended rate.
For Edmonton's AI startups, energy-tech firms and product teams, PNH assembles an offshore pod of vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, working on Mountain-time morning overlap for shared standups. They handle general application and data-pipeline delivery so local machine-learning and automation specialists stay focused on core research and operational-critical systems.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Edmonton 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.
