Companies in Bologna, Italy 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 Bologna 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:
Bologna sits at the centre of Emilia-Romagna's advanced-manufacturing belt, home to the 'Packaging Valley' of automated packaging-machinery makers and close to the 'Motor Valley' of high-performance vehicle firms. This creates unusual demand for mechatronics, automation and machine-control software, complemented by a growing data and IT-services scene and a major supercomputing and research presence, sustaining steady engineering hiring across the region.
Bologna talent is distinctive in mechatronics, automation, PLC and machine-control programming, embedded software and data engineering, feeding directly from the University of Bologna — the oldest university in the Western world — and its large engineering faculty. The pool is high-quality and industrially specialised, with costs below Milan and good retention, though senior cloud, data and general software roles can still stretch local availability.
Bologna developer pay typically runs below Milan and in line with the wider Emilia-Romagna region — senior engineers often in the region of €37k–€57k gross plus employer on-costs, with premiums for automation and mechatronics skills. Companies scaling software or data work often blend local Bologna hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced and employed through PNH to widen the pool.
For Bologna's machinery, automation and data-driven employers, PNH provides an offshore extension: vetted India-based engineers and data specialists employed through an Employer of Record on Central European Time overlap, expanding application, cloud and data delivery capacity so scarce local mechatronics talent can concentrate on core machine engineering.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Bologna 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.
