Companies in Surabaya, 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 Surabaya 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:
Surabaya is Indonesia's second city and the commercial gateway to eastern Indonesia, built on trade, shipping, manufacturing and a large industrial base rather than a startup-first culture. Its growing digital economy is increasingly tied to enterprise, logistics, e-commerce fulfilment and industrial modernisation, so demand centres on business-application, integration and back-office engineering more than on venture-funded consumer product teams.
Surabaya's talent pool is grounded in enterprise and web development, business applications, .NET, Java and integration work, supported by regional universities producing steady numbers of software graduates. It is more affordable and less contested than Jakarta, with good retention, but advanced data, cloud and platform specialists are scarcer locally — a gap employers often bridge with targeted recruitment or offshore support.
Surabaya developer salaries sit below Jakarta and broadly in line with other regional Indonesian hubs — mid-level and senior engineers commonly in the region of IDR 10–30 million per month. Companies modernising logistics or enterprise systems frequently combine cost-effective local Surabaya hires with India-based offshore engineers sourced through PNH to add specialist capacity.
For Surabaya's enterprise, logistics and manufacturing-tech employers, PNH can add an offshore engineering layer — vetted India-based developers and integration specialists on the WIB time overlap, employed via an Employer of Record — to accelerate modernisation programmes and cover cloud or data skills that are harder to source in the local market.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Surabaya 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.
