Companies in Jakarta, Indonesia 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 Jakarta 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:
Jakarta is the beating heart of Southeast Asia's digital economy — the base for the region's biggest super-apps, payment platforms and e-commerce giants, from the Gojek–Tokopedia (GoTo) group to a dense layer of fintech, logistics and SaaS startups. This concentration of venture-funded scale-ups drives intense, sustained demand for backend, mobile and data engineers, and makes senior product-experienced talent the hardest to secure and retain.
Jakarta talent skews toward high-scale product engineering, with strong pools in Go, Java, Kotlin/Swift mobile, Python, data engineering and cloud, shaped by years of building super-app and fintech platforms at national scale. Because the top scale-ups compete aggressively for the same senior engineers, offer-to-close cycles can be slow — which is where structured screening and, occasionally, offshore capacity help teams keep delivery on track.
Jakarta pays Indonesia's highest tech salaries — senior software engineers commonly land in the region of IDR 25–55 million per month, with premiums for data, platform and staff-level roles at the leading unicorns. Companies balancing budget against scale sometimes pair local senior hires with more affordable regional or India-based offshore engineers to widen delivery capacity.
For Jakarta scale-ups facing fierce competition for senior engineers, PNH can supplement local hiring with an offshore pod — vetted India-based developers who share a manageable time overlap of roughly 1.5 hours with WIB and employment handled through PNH's Employer of Record. This adds delivery capacity or niche skills without competing head-to-head in Jakarta's tightest talent segments.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Jakarta 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.
