Pitch N Hire's executive search helps Vancouver, Canada companies hire senior engineering and leadership roles — heads of engineering, architects, and functional leaders — through a discreet, research-led process. PNH maps the market, approaches passive candidates and runs structured assessment, so a Vancouver business fills business-critical leadership roles with rigour rather than relying on inbound applications.
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:
Vancouver is Canada's Pacific technology gateway, distinguished by one of the world's densest clusters of video-game studios and visual-effects houses, plus a growing base of cloud, SaaS and clean-tech firms. Its Pacific time zone and proximity to Seattle and Silicon Valley have drawn numerous US engineering satellite offices, sustaining demand for graphics, gameplay, cloud and product engineers across the metro region.
Vancouver talent is notably strong in game development, real-time graphics, C++, Unity/Unreal, VFX pipelines and cloud engineering, backed by the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser's computing programmes. High living costs and heavy competition from US firms keep senior compensation elevated and specialist roles competitive, which pushes local teams to extend capacity offshore.
Vancouver developer pay ranks near the top in Canada, pushed up by US-firm competition and housing costs — senior engineers often in the region of C$115k–C$155k. To stretch budgets or add general software capacity affordably, Vancouver companies frequently combine local hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced and employed through PNH.
For Vancouver studios and SaaS teams, PNH provides offshore engineering capacity that complements scarce local specialists: vetted India-based developers employed through an Employer of Record, with hours arranged to overlap the Pacific-time morning, so delivery scales without expanding costly local headcount.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Vancouver 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.
