Hire Software Testing (QA) Engineers: how it works for Split teams

Software testing (QA) engineers verify that software works correctly, safely and at scale — spanning manual exploratory testing, test automation, API and integration testing, performance and security testing, and release quality gates. Pitch N Hire helps you add QA capacity two honest ways: staff augmentation, where vetted India-based testers join your team under your direction (skills across Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium, REST-assured, JMeter/k6 and CI test pipelines), employed via PNH's Employer of Record; or recruitment services to source and screen QA candidates for roles based in your city. Adding dedicated testers is one of the highest-leverage ways to raise release quality and free developers to build, and offshore augmentation makes it cost-effective to staff QA at the ratio a fast-shipping team really needs.

  • Manual + automation testers (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium)
  • API, performance and security testing capability
  • Integrated into your CI pipeline and release gates
  • Add via offshore augmentation or recruit for local roles
  • Cost-effective QA-to-developer ratio
  • Frees your developers to build while quality rises

  2. 2

  3. 3

    Interview & select

    You interview and select the testers, using practical assessments so you can see real automation and test-design skill, not just résumés — you keep control of every hire.

    Selected testers are employed through PNH's Employer of Record and onboarded into your repositories, test suites, CI and release process, so they add quality coverage quickly.

The Split hiring market for this role

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.

Cost & the offshore option in Split

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.

Ways to work with Pitch N Hire in Split

You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Split team's stage and workload — and mix them as you scale:

Staff augmentation — Add individual vetted engineers to your existing team under your direction — the fastest way to close a specific skills or capacity gap.
Dedicated offshore team — Stand up a full managed pod from India for a whole workstream, with the roles, seniority and structure you specify.
Contract / project capacity — Bring on flexible talent for a fixed scope or period, then scale down cleanly when the work is done — no permanent headcount.
Recruitment / RPO — Have PNH run sourcing, screening and shortlisting for roles you want based locally in Split.
Employer of Record — Employ your India-based hires compliantly through PNH, with payroll, tax and benefits handled end-to-end.

Why Split companies choose Pitch N Hire

Vetted talent, fast

A pre-screened India talent pool means matched shortlists in days, not the months a local permanent hire can take.

You stay in control

You interview and choose every person; Pitch N Hire surfaces qualified candidates and handles the operational load.

Compliance handled

Offshore hires are employed through PNH's India Employer of Record — payroll, tax and statutory compliance are taken care of.

Lower blended cost

Building part of your team offshore keeps comparable seniority on the roster at a lower total cost than local-only hiring.

Overlapping hours

Engineers work on overlapping working hours and inside your tools and sprints — collaboration, not black-box outsourcing.

One partner, many needs

Staffing, recruitment, EOR and the ATS/interview software come from one provider, so hiring stays joined-up as you scale.

FAQ

Hire Software Testing (QA) Engineers in Split — FAQs

How do I hire QA / software testing engineers for a Split team fast? +
Pitch N Hire supplies pre-vetted manual and automation testers — mainly from India — through staff augmentation, integrated with your Split team on overlapping hours and employed via its Employer of Record, so QA capacity is added in weeks without a local entity.
What testing skills can Pitch N Hire provide for Split companies? +
PNH can provide testers skilled in automation (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium), API testing (REST-assured/Postman), performance testing (JMeter/k6) and CI test pipelines for Split teams — as augmented staff or via recruitment for local QA roles.
Can I hire just one QA engineer or a whole test team? +
Both. A Split company can augment a single specialist tester or stand up a full offshore QA team, scaling the tester-to-developer ratio to what your release cadence really needs.
Do offshore testers work in our timezone and tools? +
Yes. India-based testers overlap working hours with your Split team and work inside your CI pipeline, test suites and tracker, under your direction — so quality coverage fits your existing release process.
How much does hire software testing (qa) engineers in Split cost? +
Cost depends on the roles, seniority and engagement length. Building capacity offshore from India through Pitch N Hire is typically a materially lower blended cost than hiring the same seniority locally in Split, and PNH gives you a clear quote for your specific requirement — talk to the team for pricing.
How do I get started with hire software testing (qa) engineers for my Split team? +
Share your requirement with Pitch N Hire — the roles, skills and timeline. You'll get a matched shortlist or a tailored plan within days, interview and select the people yourself, and onboard them into your Split team, with PNH handling employment and compliance.
Are the candidates vetted before they reach my Split team? +
Yes. Every candidate Pitch N Hire puts forward for a Split company is pre-screened for skills, experience and communication, and assessed with structured interviews — so your shortlist is genuinely qualified and you keep the final hiring decision.
Can I hire a whole team or just one person in Split? +
Both. A Split company can start with a single vetted specialist and scale to a full offshore pod as the roadmap grows, or stand up a whole team from day one. Pitch N Hire flexes capacity up or down with short notice, so you commit only to what you need right now.
How does time-zone collaboration work with an offshore Split team? +
Pitch N Hire structures offshore engagements around a daily working-hour overlap with your Split team, plus clear async handoffs for the rest of the day. Engineers join your standups, tools and code review under your direction, so it feels like an extension of your team rather than a hand-off to a separate vendor.
What if an augmented Split hire isn't the right fit? +
You interview and approve every person, which keeps the fit-rate high — but if someone isn't working out, Pitch N Hire replaces them quickly from its vetted pool and manages the transition, so your Split team's delivery keeps moving.
