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:
Zagreb is Croatia's capital and its clear technology centre, home to most of the country's software companies, R&D operations and best-known tech names. The city combines a strong enterprise-software and communications sector with a maturing startup scene, and its universities give it a steady flow of well-trained engineers. Because Croatia's overall talent pool is limited and export-oriented, Zagreb employers compete keenly for experienced developers, keeping the senior market tight.
Zagreb's talent is the most developed in Croatia, spanning JavaScript, Java, .NET, cloud, data and communications software, anchored by the University of Zagreb's Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, a leading regional source of engineers. Graduate quality is high and English is widely spoken, but demand from home-grown scale-ups and foreign clients keeps senior people scarce — a common reason to add offshore delivery capacity.
Zagreb pays Croatia's highest developer salaries, and since euro adoption they are quoted in euros — senior engineers commonly in the region of EUR 40,000–75,000 gross per year, with premiums for cloud and specialist skills. For teams managing budgets or filling roles quickly, offshore augmentation from India can add comparable seniority at a lower blended rate alongside local Zagreb hires.
For Zagreb's scale-ups and software companies, PNH provides an offshore extension of the team: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, overlapping much of the working day with CET, to add delivery capacity for busy programmes without competing further in Zagreb's tight local market or carrying new local headcount cost.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Zagreb 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.
