Companies in Osaka, Japan 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 Osaka 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:
Osaka anchors the Kansai economic zone as Japan's second-largest business centre, built on a long heritage of manufacturing, electronics, machinery, pharmaceuticals and merchant commerce. Its economy is more industrial and trade-oriented than Tokyo's finance-heavy base, generating steady demand for embedded, industrial-software, ERP and web engineers among established makers and a growing layer of regional startups and digital-transformation projects.
Osaka talent leans toward manufacturing and industrial software, embedded systems, ERP and enterprise web, with skills in C/C++, Java, PHP and .NET fed by strong regional universities. The pool is capable and comparatively loyal, with lower attrition than Tokyo, but it is smaller and even thinner in English-capable and modern-cloud specialists — a frequent reason Kansai firms extend delivery capacity offshore.
Osaka developer pay generally sits below Tokyo, reflecting lower Kansai living costs — senior engineers often in the region of ¥6.5M–¥10.5M per year (roughly 650万–1,050万). Manufacturers and B2B firms scaling digital work, or needing modern-stack skills quickly, frequently blend local Osaka hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced and employed through PNH.
For Osaka's makers and commerce-focused firms, PNH provides an offshore extension: vetted, English-speaking India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, working with a large daily overlap across the roughly three-and-a-half-hour India–Japan gap, to modernise platforms and add web and cloud capacity without competing for a tight Kansai specialist market.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Osaka 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.
