Companies in Athens, Greece 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 Athens 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:
Athens is Greece's economic capital and its largest technology market, home to most of the country's venture-funded startups, a fast-maturing fintech scene, and engineering offices opened by multinationals including Pfizer's digital hub, Cisco and TeamViewer. The city's ecosystem has expanded rapidly as investment returned and diaspora engineers came home, but competition for senior software, data and cloud talent remains intense across a still-recovering market.
Athens talent is strongest in web and backend engineering, Java, Python, JavaScript, mobile and increasingly cloud and data, fed by the National Technical University of Athens and other strong STEM faculties. Graduate output is high, but years of emigration to Western Europe thinned the senior tier, so experienced architects and specialists are competitive to secure and slower to hire locally.
Athens developer pay is well below Western-European levels while quality is high — senior software engineers often in the region of €35k–€60k gross, with premiums for cloud, data and fintech skills. To scale delivery affordably or add niche capacity fast, Athens teams frequently blend local hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced and employed through PNH.
For Athens founders and engineering leaders, an offshore pod is a fast route to added capacity: PNH sources and vets India-based engineers, overlaps working hours with EET for daily collaboration, and handles employment and compliance through its Employer of Record, so an Athens team scales delivery without setting up new payroll or absorbing local senior-hire scarcity.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Athens 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.
