Pitch N Hire's executive search helps Krakow, Poland companies hire senior engineering and leadership roles — heads of engineering, architects, and functional leaders — through a discreet, research-led process. PNH maps the market, approaches passive candidates and runs structured assessment, so a Krakow business fills business-critical leadership roles with rigour rather than relying on inbound applications.
Executive search is a targeted, research-led method for hiring senior and hard-to-fill leadership roles, where the best candidates are usually employed and not actively applying. Instead of posting a job and waiting, Pitch N Hire maps the relevant talent market, discreetly approaches qualified passive candidates, and runs structured, evidence-based assessment against the role's real requirements. This is used for engineering leadership, architecture, and specialist senior roles where a wrong hire is expensive and confidentiality matters. PNH's search process pairs experienced recruiters with structured interview tooling to keep the assessment consistent and defensible, whether the role is based locally or leads an offshore team.
We work with you to define the mandate — responsibilities, the outcomes the leader must deliver, and the competencies and experience that predict success in your context.
PNH researches and maps the relevant talent market, building a longlist of qualified people in comparable roles at comparable organisations — including those not actively looking.
Candidates are approached confidentially and professionally, protecting your employer brand and the candidates' current positions while gauging genuine interest and fit.
Interested candidates go through structured, evidence-based interviews and scorecards against the success profile, so the shortlist is comparable and defensible, not gut-feel.
You interview a small, high-quality shortlist; we support referencing, offer negotiation and a careful close, given how much a senior hire matters.
Research-led search suits senior and business-critical roles where a mis-hire is costly:
Krakow is Poland's number-one destination for IT outsourcing and business services, hosting the largest cluster of global capability and shared-services centres in the country. Hundreds of multinationals run engineering, IT and BPO operations here, drawn by a huge student population and a strong reputation for delivery. That density has made Krakow the busiest hiring market outside Warsaw, with intense competition for experienced engineers across enterprise and cloud roles.
Krakow talent is deep in enterprise software, cloud and DevOps, .NET, Java and IT services, shaped by years of running delivery for global firms and multilingual support teams. The Jagiellonian University and AGH University of Science and Technology feed a vast graduate pipeline. Costs sit below Warsaw, but the sheer concentration of capability centres means senior specialists are heavily contested and often slow to secure locally.
Krakow developer pay runs below Warsaw while remaining strong for Poland — senior engineers often in the region of PLN 190k–290k gross a year, with premiums for cloud and specialist skills. Companies scaling delivery or adding niche capabilities frequently blend local Krakow hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced and employed through PNH to widen the pool.
For Krakow's capability-centre and product teams, PNH provides an offshore extension: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record on Central-European working-hour overlap, expanding enterprise and cloud delivery capacity without competing head-on for a heavily contested local market or adding more on-site headcount cost.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Krakow 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.
