Contract staffing gives Lagos, Nigeria teams flexible, project-based engineering capacity without permanent headcount. Pitch N Hire supplies vetted contract engineers — primarily from India — employed and compliance-managed through its Employer of Record, so a Lagos company can staff a project for a fixed period and scale down cleanly when it ends.
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:
Lagos is the commercial and technology capital of Nigeria and the beating heart of African tech, home to the fintech ecosystem that produced payments companies such as Flutterwave and Paystack and a dense cluster of startups, venture funds and engineering hubs like Yaba. Demand for backend, mobile and payments engineers is fierce, and because many developers work remotely for overseas firms, local employers compete hard on pay, growth and speed of hiring.
Lagos talent runs deep in fintech and payments engineering, backend (Node.js, Python, Go), mobile and product, with a large self-taught and bootcamp-trained cohort alongside university graduates. Many senior engineers already work remote-first for international employers, which raises the bar and the price for local hires — so Lagos companies value fast, structured recruitment and, at times, offshore capacity to keep delivery on track.
Lagos commands Nigeria's highest developer pay, and senior remote engineers are frequently paid in US dollars to match international remote offers, while mid-level local salaries often fall in the region of ₦6m–₦18m a year depending on skill and employer. To manage blended cost or add niche skills quickly, some Lagos teams pair local hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced through PNH.
For Lagos founders scaling delivery, PNH can supply an offshore pod alongside local recruitment: vetted India-based engineers employed through its Employer of Record, working with strong daily overlap to WAT — India runs about four and a half hours ahead, so mornings in Lagos meet afternoons in India — expanding capacity without adding to premium local salary budgets.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Lagos 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.
