To hire software testing (QA) engineers in Manila, Philippines, Pitch N Hire supplies vetted manual and automation testers — primarily from India — through staff augmentation, or recruits QA talent for your local Manila 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:
Metro Manila is the economic and outsourcing heart of the Philippines, hosting the country's largest concentration of BPO and IT-BPM operations, shared-services centres, banks and a growing fintech scene across Makati, BGC, Ortigas and Quezon City. Volume hiring for customer experience, technical support and finance roles is constant, while software, cloud and data engineering demand has risen as digital-services firms and startups expand.
Manila talent is defined by exceptional English fluency and a very large, service-oriented workforce experienced in customer support, finance-and-accounting and IT-enabled services. Software talent centres on web and mobile development, .NET, Java, PHP, Python and QA, backed by universities like UP, De La Salle and Ateneo. High attrition in BPO and competition for senior engineers make structured screening and fast pipelines valuable for local employers.
Manila offers competitive costs versus Western markets: senior software engineers commonly sit around ₱1.2M–₱2.4M per year, with BPO and support roles considerably lower. Employers still compete on pay for scarce senior and specialised engineering skills. Where local supply is tight, blending in offshore India-based engineers through staff augmentation can extend capacity at a comparable or lower blended cost.
For Manila employers who cannot fill every senior or niche engineering seat locally, Pitch N Hire can add an offshore India-based pod through staff augmentation — vetted engineers who overlap the full Manila workday given only a 2.5-hour time gap. PNH handles sourcing, vetting and, via its India Employer of Record, employment and compliance, so a Manila team scales capacity without a new local entity.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Manila 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.
