Hire in Alexandria: staffing & recruitment
For companies hiring in Alexandria, Pitch N Hire runs recruitment for local roles and provides ATS and interview software to hire efficiently, with optional offshore engineers from India via staff augmentation. Alexandria is Egypt's second city, with strong universities and a growing tech scene at lower cost than Cairo. PNH helps local employers screen and hire well without a local entity.
The Alexandria hiring market
Alexandria is Egypt's second-largest city and a Mediterranean port and industrial centre with a steadily growing technology sector. It is anchored by large universities β including Alexandria University and specialist science-and-technology institutions β that feed a strong graduate pipeline, and by lower living and salary costs than the capital. A number of software, outsourcing and startup firms have grown here as an affordable alternative to Cairo, though the local ecosystem remains smaller and less dense than Greater Cairo's.
Developer talent in Alexandria
Alexandria's talent leans toward fresh and mid-level engineers coming out of its universities, with solid strengths in web and mobile development, embedded and electronics engineering, and a rising software-services base. Graduates are affordable and well trained, but the pool of deeply senior specialists is thinner than in Cairo, and some experienced engineers relocate to the capital or abroad. That makes graduate hiring easy but senior and niche roles slower to fill locally.
Alexandria developer salaries generally run below Cairo, reflecting lower living costs β senior software engineers often in the region of EGP 35,000β70,000 per month, with graduates and mid-level roles well below that. The affordability is a draw for employers, but scarce senior specialists can still be hard to secure, so local teams sometimes extend capacity with offshore India-based engineers to cover harder roles.
Building an offshore team from Alexandria
For Alexandria employers who can hire graduates locally but struggle to fill senior or specialist positions, Pitch N Hire supplies an offshore extension: vetted India-based engineers for the specific stack, on close EET overlap, employed through PNH's India-based Employer of Record. This lets an Alexandria team pair affordable local hiring with offshore seniority for delivery-heavy work, without opening an entity abroad.
Alexandria is home to Alexandria University, one of Egypt's oldest and largest, plus specialist science-and-technology institutions β a university base that gives the city a strong, affordable graduate-engineering pipeline outside the capital.
