Executive Search: how it works for Quebec City teams
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.

Research-led search suits senior and business-critical roles where a mis-hire is costly:
The Quebec City hiring market for this role
Quebec City's technology economy rests on three pillars: a well-known game-development and interactive-media cluster seeded by a major Ubisoft studio and independent studios; a dense concentration of insurance and financial-services head offices that run large in-house IT; and a growing applied-AI and optics-photonics research base tied to Université Laval. This mix sustains steady demand for software, data and game engineers in a predominantly French-speaking market.
Quebec City talent is strong in game and real-time-graphics engineering, insurance and financial software, and applied AI, with C++, C#, .NET, Java and data skills common, supported by Université Laval. The workforce is largely bilingual-leaning-French with high retention and lower turnover than Montreal, but the specialised games and senior enterprise pools are finite — leading many teams to extend delivery capacity offshore.
Cost & the offshore option in Quebec City
Quebec City developer salaries generally run below Montreal and well under Toronto, with senior software engineers often around C$90k–C$125k, reflecting low living costs and a stable market. Employers scaling game, insurance or platform delivery beyond the local pool frequently pair local Quebec City hires with offshore India-based engineers through PNH to add capacity at a lower blended cost.
For Quebec City's game studios, insurers and product teams, PNH assembles an offshore pod of vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, aligned to Eastern-time morning overlap for daily coordination. They handle general application, tooling and back-end delivery so scarce game-engine and senior enterprise specialists concentrate on the core, domain-heavy work.
