Companies in Cork, Ireland 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 Cork 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:
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.
