Companies in Helsinki, Finland that want to employ engineering talent in India without opening a local entity can use Pitch N Hire as their Employer of Record. PNH legally employs each hire on your behalf and manages payroll, tax, benefits and statutory compliance, so a Helsinki business can build a compliant offshore team quickly and focus on the work rather than the paperwork.
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:
Helsinki is the beating heart of Finland's technology economy — the base for Supercell and a dense cluster of games studios, plus a fast-growing SaaS, fintech and platform-startup scene amplified each year by Slush, one of Europe's most influential founder gatherings. Strong venture funding and a concentration of scale-ups keep demand high for product, backend and gameplay engineers, while a compact talent pool means senior roles stay competitive.
Helsinki talent skews product-minded and games-savvy, with deep pools in C++, C#/Unity, gameplay and live-ops engineering alongside modern web (JavaScript/TypeScript), Kotlin and cloud. English is spoken almost universally in tech, so cross-border collaboration is effortless. The scene is high-quality but small, and demand from well-funded studios and startups means specialist and senior hires can take time to close locally.
Helsinki commands Finland's highest developer pay, with senior software engineers frequently in the region of EUR 65k-95k plus statutory employer contributions. Offshore augmentation from India typically delivers comparable seniority at a materially lower blended rate, which is why cost-conscious Helsinki studios and startups run hybrid on-site plus offshore teams to extend runway.
For Helsinki founders and studio leads, the fastest route to added capacity is often an offshore pod: PNH sources and vets India-based engineers, aligns several working hours with EET for daily collaboration, and handles employment and compliance through its Employer of Record so there is no Finnish entity to set up.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Helsinki 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.
