Contract staffing gives Lyon, France teams flexible, project-based engineering capacity without permanent headcount. Pitch N Hire supplies vetted contract engineers — primarily from India — employed and compliance-managed through its Employer of Record, so a Lyon company can staff a project for a fixed period and scale down cleanly when it ends.
Contract staffing provides engineers for a defined period or project rather than as permanent employees — ideal for fixed-scope builds, seasonal peaks, or covering a gap while you recruit. Pitch N Hire supplies vetted contract talent, mainly from India, and employs each contractor through its Employer of Record so contracts, payroll, tax and compliance are handled correctly and you carry no permanent-headcount liability. Contractors work under your direction inside your process, and you can extend, convert or release them as the project requires. This flexibility is useful for teams whose workload is uneven or who want to try talent before committing to a permanent or offshore-team arrangement.
Define the project, duration, skills and number of contractors you need. We agree on start date, extension options and how success will be measured.
PNH proposes vetted contract engineers with the right skills and availability from its India talent pool, usually within days, with profiles and rates.
You interview and choose; PNH puts each contractor on a compliant contract through its Employer of Record, so there is no permanent liability or entity for you to manage.
Contractors join your tools and sprints and deliver under your direction for the agreed term, with PNH handling payroll, compliance and administration.
At the end of the term you extend, convert to a longer arrangement, or release cleanly — flexible capacity that matches an uneven or project-driven workload.
Contract staffing fits situations where you need capacity for a defined window, not forever:
Lyon is France's second technology hub, with a diversified economy spanning enterprise and B2B software, a respected video-game development cluster, and one of Europe's densest life-sciences and biotech ecosystems around its hospitals and pharma base. Strong engineering schools and a lower cost of living than Paris have drawn scale-ups and delivery centres, creating steady demand for software, data and health-tech engineers across the metro.
Lyon talent is strong in enterprise software, web and full-stack engineering, game development (C++, Unity/Unreal) and health-tech and bioinformatics, fed by INSA Lyon, École Centrale de Lyon and a large student population. Skills in Java, JavaScript, Python and cloud are widely available at costs below Paris, though senior AI and specialist gaming roles can still stretch local supply during growth.
Lyon developer pay typically runs below Paris — senior engineers often in the region of EUR 45k–EUR 65k gross — reflecting lower living costs. Teams that need to stretch budgets further, or add niche skills quickly, combine local Lyon hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced and employed through PNH to widen the pool.
For Lyon scale-ups and health-tech teams, PNH provides an offshore extension: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record on Central European Time overlap, expanding software and data delivery capacity without competing for scarce local gaming and bioinformatics specialists or adding French headcount cost.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Lyon 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.
