Companies in Bergen, Norway that want to employ engineering talent in India without opening a local entity can use Pitch N Hire as their Employer of Record. PNH legally employs each hire on your behalf and manages payroll, tax, benefits and statutory compliance, so a Bergen business can build a compliant offshore team quickly and focus on the work rather than the paperwork.
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a company that legally employs workers on your behalf in a country where you have no entity, taking on payroll, tax withholding, benefits, contracts and statutory compliance while the worker delivers under your day-to-day direction. Pitch N Hire's EOR strength is India: it lets a business anywhere hire and retain Indian engineering talent compliantly — with correct employment contracts, payroll and provident-fund/tax handling — without registering an Indian subsidiary. This removes the cost, delay and legal risk of setting up a foreign entity, and pairs naturally with staff augmentation when you want PNH to both source and employ your offshore team.
You identify the person you want to employ in India — either someone Pitch N Hire sourced for you, or a candidate you found yourself who you want employed compliantly.
PNH issues a locally-compliant Indian employment contract with the correct terms, benefits and statutory entitlements, so the engagement is legally sound from day one.
The employee is onboarded onto PNH's Indian payroll, with tax, provident fund and benefits configured correctly — no Indian entity or local finance function needed on your side.
The employee works under your day-to-day direction, in your tools and process, while PNH remains the legal employer of record for compliance purposes.
PNH runs monthly payroll, tax filings, statutory contributions and HR administration, and keeps everything compliant as regulations change — you get a report, not a paperwork burden.
As your Employer of Record in India, Pitch N Hire takes on the full employment burden:
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.
