To hire software testing (QA) engineers in Cebu, Philippines, Pitch N Hire supplies vetted manual and automation testers — primarily from India — through staff augmentation, or recruits QA talent for your local Cebu roles. You get testers skilled in Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, API and performance testing, integrated into your team on overlapping hours, without a local entity.
Software testing (QA) engineers verify that software works correctly, safely and at scale — spanning manual exploratory testing, test automation, API and integration testing, performance and security testing, and release quality gates. Pitch N Hire helps you add QA capacity two honest ways: staff augmentation, where vetted India-based testers join your team under your direction (skills across Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium, REST-assured, JMeter/k6 and CI test pipelines), employed via PNH's Employer of Record; or recruitment services to source and screen QA candidates for roles based in your city. Adding dedicated testers is one of the highest-leverage ways to raise release quality and free developers to build, and offshore augmentation makes it cost-effective to staff QA at the ratio a fast-shipping team really needs.
We scope the testing you need — manual, automation, API, performance or security — plus the stack, tools and CI pipeline your team uses, and the seniority and ratio of testers to developers.
PNH returns vetted manual and automation testers from its India pool, screened for the exact frameworks (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium, JMeter) and domain experience you need.
You interview and select the testers, using practical assessments so you can see real automation and test-design skill, not just résumés — you keep control of every hire.
Selected testers are employed through PNH's Employer of Record and onboarded into your repositories, test suites, CI and release process, so they add quality coverage quickly.
As the product grows you add or adjust QA capacity, building automation, raising coverage and protecting releases — while PNH handles employment and compliance.
Pitch N Hire can supply testers across the full quality-engineering spectrum:
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.
