Companies in Trondheim, 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 Trondheim 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:
Trondheim is Norway's technology-and-research capital, anchored by NTNU — the country's largest science and engineering university — and the SINTEF research institute. This concentration of deep-tech, AI, robotics, cybernetics and sensor research feeds a startup and spin-off ecosystem far larger than the city's size would suggest, driving demand for research-grade software, machine-learning and embedded engineers.
Trondheim talent is unusually research-strong in AI/ML, robotics, cybernetics, computer vision and embedded systems, fed directly by NTNU's large computer-science and engineering programmes. Common skills span Python, C++, Rust and cloud, with deep academic-to-industry pipelines. The pool is high-calibre but numerically small, so scaling teams quickly often means extending capacity offshore for volume work.
Trondheim developer pay sits below Oslo but is competitive nationally — senior engineers often in the region of NOK 760k–1,050k per year, with premiums for AI/ML, robotics and research-grade skills. To scale engineering capacity affordably around a small, specialised pool, Trondheim firms frequently combine local hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced through PNH.
PNH supports Trondheim's deep-tech and AI-heavy employers with offshore engineering pods: vetted India-based developers and machine-learning engineers employed through an Employer of Record on CET-overlapping hours, so research-driven teams can expand delivery and productisation without exhausting a comparatively small, highly specialised local talent pool.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Trondheim 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.
