Pitch N Hire's recruitment services help Christchurch, New Zealand employers fill roles faster by running sourcing, screening and shortlisting as a managed process. Whether you are hiring for local Christchurch positions or building an offshore team, PNH's recruiters and interview tooling surface vetted candidates, reduce time-to-fill and lift shortlist quality — as an on-demand extension of your talent team.
Recruitment services — often delivered as Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) — hand part or all of your hiring process to a specialist team: role intake, sourcing, screening, structured interviews and shortlisting, measured on time-to-fill and quality-of-hire. Pitch N Hire combines experienced recruiters with its own applicant-tracking and interview-assessment software to run this efficiently, whether you are filling roles in your own city or sourcing offshore talent. This is well suited to employers with spiky or high-volume hiring who need to scale recruiting capacity quickly without permanently growing an in-house talent team, and it plugs directly into PNH's ATS so your pipeline stays visible.
We define each role with you — must-have skills, seniority, compensation band and the profile of a great hire — so sourcing is targeted from the start and everyone agrees on what 'qualified' means.
PNH's recruiters run multi-channel sourcing (job boards, databases, referrals and direct outreach) to build a pipeline of relevant active and passive candidates for your roles.
Candidates are screened against the brief and run through structured interviews and skills assessments in PNH's tooling, so only genuinely qualified people reach your shortlist.
You receive a ranked shortlist with notes and scorecards, and interview your top choices. We coordinate scheduling and keep candidates warm to reduce drop-off.
We support offer management and handover to onboarding, and report on funnel metrics — time-to-fill, source performance and conversion — so the process keeps improving.
Engage PNH for part or all of the hiring funnel, for one hard role or high-volume campaigns:
Christchurch is the South Island's largest city and, since its post-earthquake rebuild, a deliberately reinvented technology centre with distinctive strengths in aerospace, spatial and geospatial technology, and agritech serving New Zealand's large primary sector. Rocket and drone ventures, precision-agriculture software and an innovation-precinct startup base give the city an engineering demand oriented toward hardware-adjacent, spatial and domain-specific software rather than pure commercial tech.
Christchurch talent is strong in aerospace and embedded systems, geospatial and spatial engineering, agritech and IoT, and backend software, with skills in C/C++, Python, Java and cloud, backed by the University of Canterbury's respected engineering programmes. The pool is high-quality but small and specialised, so senior and niche roles can be slow to fill locally — a frequent driver of offshore augmentation for general software capacity.
Christchurch developer pay generally sits below Auckland and Wellington, reflecting lower living costs — senior engineers often in the region of NZ$100k–NZ$140k, with premiums for aerospace, spatial and embedded skills. Employers scaling delivery or adding niche capacity frequently blend local Christchurch hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced and employed through PNH.
For Christchurch's aerospace, agritech and spatial teams, PNH provides an offshore extension: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, taking on general and application-software delivery so scarce local specialists stay focused on domain work. With India several hours behind NZ, PNH runs a morning overlap plus asynchronous handoffs, so capacity grows without a new entity.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Christchurch 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.
