Contract staffing gives Bergen, Norway 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 Bergen 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:
Bergen is Norway's maritime capital and a major hub for shipping, aquaculture, ocean technology and offshore energy, with a growing software scene built around these industries. Home to a large university and research institutes focused on marine and climate science, the city sustains steady demand for engineers building industrial, IoT, subsea and data-driven systems for the ocean and energy sectors.
Bergen talent is distinctively strong in maritime and industrial software, IoT, embedded systems and data engineering tied to shipping, aquaculture and energy, with common skills in Java, .NET, C++, Python and cloud. The pool is high-quality but smaller than Oslo's, so senior and niche roles in ocean-tech and subsea engineering can be competitive, leading teams to extend offshore.
Bergen developer pay is high by European standards though generally a step below Oslo — senior engineers often in the region of NOK 780k–1,100k per year, with premiums for specialised maritime and subsea software skills. To scale delivery affordably, Bergen firms frequently combine local hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced through PNH.
For Bergen's maritime, aquaculture and energy software teams, PNH provides offshore engineering pods: vetted India-based developers employed through an Employer of Record on close CET overlap, expanding delivery capacity for industrial and data-heavy programmes without stretching a comparatively small west-coast talent pool or adding local payroll cost.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Bergen 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.
