Employer of Record (EOR): how it works for Santiago teams
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.
- Employ India-based talent with no local entity or subsidiary
- Compliant contracts, payroll, tax and statutory benefits handled end-to-end
- Removes the cost and delay of setting up a foreign entity
- Pairs with staff augmentation for sourced-and-employed offshore teams
- Reduces legal and permanent-establishment risk
- Predictable monthly cost instead of entity + finance overhead

What the EOR handles
As your Employer of Record in India, Pitch N Hire takes on the full employment burden:
The Santiago hiring market for this role
Santiago concentrates the overwhelming majority of Chile's technology activity, hosting the head offices of major banks, retailers and mining groups alongside a dense startup scene shaped by the Startup Chile accelerator and a mature venture and fintech community. The city drives national demand for backend, cloud, data and payments engineers, and its role as a nearshore delivery base for US clients keeps competition for experienced developers persistently high.
Santiago's talent pool is the most senior and product-experienced in Chile, with strong exposure to fintech, e-commerce and enterprise systems and solid depth in JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Python, cloud (AWS) and data engineering. Many mid-to-senior developers have worked on export or nearshore projects, so English levels and delivery maturity are comparatively high — which also makes them competitive to hire and retain.
Cost & the offshore option in Santiago
Santiago commands Chile's highest developer pay, with senior software engineers frequently in the region of CLP 3.5M–6M per month plus employer costs, and premiums for cloud, data and fintech skills. Because experienced local talent is competitive and export-priced, some Santiago teams supplement local recruitment with offshore India-based engineers to widen the pool for specialist roles.
For Santiago scale-ups facing a tight senior market, PNH first recruits and screens local candidates and can run full RPO. Where a niche skill is scarce or delivery must expand fast, it offers an optional offshore pod of vetted India-based engineers, employed through its Employer of Record and overlapping several afternoon hours with Chilean time.
