Companies in Cebu, Philippines 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 Cebu 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:
Cebu is the Philippines' leading technology and outsourcing centre outside Metro Manila, anchored by IT Park and Cebu Business Park in Cebu City where BPO firms, software studios and shared-services operations cluster. It has built a reputation as a lower-cost, lower-attrition alternative to Manila, with a steady flow of graduates feeding customer-experience, development and creative-services roles, and a maturing local startup and digital-agency ecosystem.
Cebu's workforce is known for strong English communication, a friendly service culture and lower turnover than Manila, which appeals to firms building durable delivery teams. Technical talent spans web and mobile development, JavaScript, PHP, Java and QA, supplied by universities such as the University of San Carlos, USJ-R and Cebu Institute of Technology. The smaller senior-engineering pool means specialised roles can take longer to fill locally.
Cebu typically runs below Manila on pay: senior software engineers often fall around ₱1M–₱1.9M per year, with support and BPO roles lower again, making it a cost-efficient base for delivery and services work. For scarce senior or niche engineering skills that are hard to source in the local market, offshore augmentation from India can add that seniority at a comparable blended cost.
When a Cebu team needs senior or specialised engineers its local market cannot readily supply, Pitch N Hire can attach an offshore India-based pod through staff augmentation. With only a 2.5-hour time difference the engineers work alongside the Cebu team through the day, and PNH manages vetting plus employment and compliance via its India Employer of Record — extending the team without a new Philippine entity.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Cebu 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.
