Companies in Toronto, Canada that want to employ engineering talent in India without opening a local entity can use Pitch N Hire as their Employer of Record. PNH legally employs each hire on your behalf and manages payroll, tax, benefits and statutory compliance, so a Toronto business can build a compliant offshore team quickly and focus on the work rather than the paperwork.
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a company that legally employs workers on your behalf in a country where you have no entity, taking on payroll, tax withholding, benefits, contracts and statutory compliance while the worker delivers under your day-to-day direction. Pitch N Hire's EOR strength is India: it lets a business anywhere hire and retain Indian engineering talent compliantly — with correct employment contracts, payroll and provident-fund/tax handling — without registering an Indian subsidiary. This removes the cost, delay and legal risk of setting up a foreign entity, and pairs naturally with staff augmentation when you want PNH to both source and employ your offshore team.
You identify the person you want to employ in India — either someone Pitch N Hire sourced for you, or a candidate you found yourself who you want employed compliantly.
PNH issues a locally-compliant Indian employment contract with the correct terms, benefits and statutory entitlements, so the engagement is legally sound from day one.
The employee is onboarded onto PNH's Indian payroll, with tax, provident fund and benefits configured correctly — no Indian entity or local finance function needed on your side.
The employee works under your day-to-day direction, in your tools and process, while PNH remains the legal employer of record for compliance purposes.
PNH runs monthly payroll, tax filings, statutory contributions and HR administration, and keeps everything compliant as regulations change — you get a report, not a paperwork burden.
As your Employer of Record in India, Pitch N Hire takes on the full employment burden:
Toronto is North America's third-largest technology hub by employment, anchored by Bay Street's banks and insurers, a dense fintech scene, and major engineering offices for global firms across the Toronto–Waterloo corridor. The Vector Institute has made it a magnet for AI research, and steady immigration keeps the workforce growing — yet demand for senior software, data and machine-learning talent regularly outpaces local supply.
Toronto's talent skews toward enterprise and financial engineering, with strong pools in Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, cloud (AWS/Azure) and a fast-expanding AI/ML community fed by the University of Toronto and Vector Institute. Because global employers compete aggressively for the same senior candidates, roles can be slow to close locally — a common reason Toronto teams blend in offshore engineers for added capacity.
Toronto commands among Canada's highest developer pay, with senior software engineers frequently in the region of C$120k–C$165k plus employer costs and equity in scale-ups. Offshore augmentation from India typically delivers comparable seniority at a materially lower blended rate, which is why cost-conscious Toronto companies run hybrid local plus offshore teams.
For Toronto founders and engineering leaders, the fastest route to extra capacity is often an offshore pod: PNH sources and vets India-based engineers, arranges morning-overlap hours with Eastern Time for daily standups, and handles employment and compliance through its Employer of Record, so there is no Canadian entity to set up.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Toronto 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.
