Contract staffing provides engineers for a defined period or project rather than as permanent employees — ideal for fixed-scope builds, seasonal peaks, or covering a gap while you recruit. Pitch N Hire supplies vetted contract talent, mainly from India, and employs each contractor through its Employer of Record so contracts, payroll, tax and compliance are handled correctly and you carry no permanent-headcount liability. Contractors work under your direction inside your process, and you can extend, convert or release them as the project requires. This flexibility is useful for teams whose workload is uneven or who want to try talent before committing to a permanent or offshore-team arrangement.
Define the project, duration, skills and number of contractors you need. We agree on start date, extension options and how success will be measured.
PNH proposes vetted contract engineers with the right skills and availability from its India talent pool, usually within days, with profiles and rates.
You interview and choose; PNH puts each contractor on a compliant contract through its Employer of Record, so there is no permanent liability or entity for you to manage.
Contractors join your tools and sprints and deliver under your direction for the agreed term, with PNH handling payroll, compliance and administration.
At the end of the term you extend, convert to a longer arrangement, or release cleanly — flexible capacity that matches an uneven or project-driven workload.
Contract staffing fits situations where you need capacity for a defined window, not forever:
Nairobi is the undisputed centre of East African technology, the city that earned the region its 'Silicon Savannah' nickname through mobile-money breakthroughs and a vibrant startup culture. Fintech, agritech, logistics and e-commerce ventures thrive alongside the African engineering hubs of global firms, and a dense network of incubators sustains new company formation. This concentration keeps demand for developers high and makes experienced talent the scarcest resource in the market.
Nairobi talent is strong in mobile and web development, JavaScript, Python, Java and PHP, and increasingly data, cloud and fintech integration work, reflecting a market shaped by mobile-first products. Universities such as the University of Nairobi, Strathmore and JKUAT supply capable graduates, and a large self-taught developer community adds depth — but seasoned senior engineers are heavily courted, prompting many teams to reinforce with offshore capacity.
Nairobi commands Kenya's highest developer pay, with senior software engineers at established tech and fintech firms often around KES 2.4 million–4.8 million gross per year, and premiums for cloud, data and payments expertise. For teams stretching budgets or filling roles quickly, offshore augmentation from India can add comparable seniority at a lower blended rate alongside local Nairobi hires.
For Nairobi startups and scale-ups, PNH supplies an offshore extension of the team: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, sharing a broad daily overlap with East Africa Time, to add delivery capacity for growth-stage programmes without competing further in Nairobi's tight senior-talent market or raising local headcount cost.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Nairobi 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.
