PNH maps the market, approaches passive candidates and runs structured assessment, so a Split 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:
Split is Croatia's second-largest city and the leading technology hub on the Dalmatian coast, where a young software-services and product community has grown alongside a dominant tourism economy. Its quality of life has made it a magnet for remote workers and distributed teams, and a cluster of local software and maritime-technology companies gives the city genuine engineering substance. The scene is smaller than Zagreb's but expanding, with demand rising faster than local supply.
Split's talent centres on web and product engineering — JavaScript/TypeScript, PHP, .NET and mobile — with pockets of maritime and embedded software reflecting the coastal economy, supported by the University of Split's engineering faculties. Many developers work remotely for foreign employers, which lifts expectations and thins local availability, so companies scaling teams in Split frequently reach beyond the city with offshore support.
Split developer pay generally sits a little below Zagreb's but is rising with demand, quoted in euros — senior engineers often in the region of EUR 35,000–65,000 gross per year. Employers protecting scarce coastal specialists or scaling delivery quickly frequently blend local Split hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced through PNH to keep blended costs competitive.
For Split's product and services companies, PNH builds an offshore India-based engineering pod, vetted for the required stack and overlapping working hours with CET for daily collaboration. Employment and compliance run through PNH's Employer of Record, so a Split team can scale delivery without straining a smaller coastal talent pool or losing people to remote foreign employers.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Split 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.
