Companies in Penang, Malaysia 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 Penang 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:
Penang is Malaysia's electrical-and-electronics powerhouse, anchored by the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone and decades of semiconductor, assembly, test and precision-manufacturing investment from global chipmakers and equipment vendors. The island has grown from back-end assembly into design, wafer-fab support and embedded R&D, creating sustained demand for embedded, firmware, test-automation and increasingly software engineers across a dense industrial supply chain.
Penang's talent is distinctively strong in embedded systems, firmware, hardware and semiconductor test engineering, plus a rising software and automation community feeding the manufacturing sector. A large technical-polytechnic and university pipeline supplies steady mid-level talent, but experienced embedded, DevOps and full-stack specialists are competitive to secure, prompting employers to supplement with offshore engineers for delivery scale.
Penang developer pay generally sits below Kuala Lumpur for pure-software roles — senior engineers often in the region of MYR 100,000–160,000 per year — though specialised semiconductor and embedded skills can command premiums. Teams scaling software or automation work frequently blend local Penang hires with offshore India-based engineers to widen the pool and manage blended cost.
For Penang manufacturers and product teams, PNH adds an offshore software extension: vetted India-based engineers employed through its India Employer of Record, working on full UTC+8 overlap with the island's teams, to accelerate application, cloud and automation delivery without pulling scarce embedded specialists off core hardware work.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Penang 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.
