For companies in Montreal, 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:
Montreal is a global centre for artificial-intelligence research, home to Mila and pioneering deep-learning academics, alongside one of the world's largest video-game development clusters and growing aerospace and enterprise-software sectors. Bilingual talent, comparatively affordable living and generous provincial R&D incentives have attracted heavy investment, creating sustained demand for ML, game and software engineers across the metro area.
Montreal's talent pool is exceptionally strong in machine learning and deep learning, game engineering (Unity/Unreal, C++), and enterprise software, fed by McGill, Université de Montréal and Mila. French-English bilingualism is common and salaries sit below the top Canadian hubs, though senior AI and specialist roles remain competitive — a reason local teams extend capacity offshore.
Montreal developer pay generally runs below Toronto and Vancouver, reflecting lower living costs — senior engineers often around C$100k–C$140k, with premiums for AI/ML skills. Employers scaling delivery or adding niche capabilities frequently blend local Montreal hires with offshore India-based engineers to manage blended cost while keeping pace.
For Montreal's AI-heavy and game-development employers, PNH supplies offshore engineering pods: vetted India-based developers and ML engineers employed via an Employer of Record, with hours overlapping the Eastern-time morning, so teams can scale software delivery without stretching a specialist-heavy local market.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Montreal 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.
