Companies in Cork, Ireland can run their whole hiring process on Pitch N Hire's applicant tracking system — job posting, a branded careers page, resume parsing, interview scheduling, scorecards and team collaboration — with a free-forever plan for one user. It works anywhere on the web, so a Cork team can manage local and offshore hiring from one place.
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software a team uses to manage hiring end-to-end: posting jobs to boards and a branded careers page, collecting and parsing applications, moving candidates through pipeline stages, scheduling interviews, capturing structured scorecards, and collaborating on decisions. Pitch N Hire's ATS (its 'Operate' product) does all of this in the browser, with a free-forever tier for a single user and paid plans as a team grows. Because it is web-based it serves companies anywhere — a team can run its local recruitment and any offshore hiring from the same system, with reporting on time-to-fill and source performance so the process stays measurable rather than run over email and spreadsheets.
Create roles once and publish to your branded careers page and multiple job boards, so applications flow into one organised pipeline instead of scattered inboxes.
Resumes are parsed and candidates captured automatically, with duplicates merged, so your team starts from a clean, searchable candidate database.
Drag candidates through customisable stages, leave notes, and keep everyone aligned on where each person is — no more spreadsheet status-chasing.
Schedule interviews, share structured scorecards, and gather feedback in one place so hiring decisions are consistent and comparable across interviewers.
Dashboards show time-to-fill, source performance and pipeline conversion, so a team can see what's working and hire more predictably over time.
Pitch N Hire's applicant tracking system covers the full hiring workflow in one place:
Cork is Ireland's second city and a distinctive industrial-tech centre, long anchored by one of Europe's densest clusters of pharmaceutical and medical-device manufacturing and increasingly home to enterprise-software, cloud and security engineering operations. This dual base of life-sciences manufacturing and IT sustains steady demand for software, data, automation and quality-systems engineers across the wider Munster region, at costs below the capital.
Cork talent leans toward enterprise and systems engineering, with strengths in cloud, security, data, .NET and Java, plus automation and validation skills feeding its pharma and med-device plants. A well-regarded local university and technological university supply a steady graduate pipeline, and retention is stronger than in Dublin, though senior specialist availability can still lead employers to supplement with offshore engineers.
Cork developer salaries generally run below Dublin levels, reflecting lower living costs, with senior engineers often around EUR 60k-85k. Teams that need to stretch budgets further, or add niche cloud and data skills quickly, combine local Cork hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced and employed through PNH to keep delivery on schedule.
For Cork's enterprise-software and life-sciences-adjacent IT teams, PNH provides an offshore extension of the team: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, working on Irish-hours overlap, to expand delivery capacity for cloud, data and application programmes without adding to local salary budgets or entity overhead.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Cork 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.
