Companies in Lisbon, Portugal can run their whole hiring process on Pitch N Hire's applicant tracking system — job posting, a branded careers page, resume parsing, interview scheduling, scorecards and team collaboration — with a free-forever plan for one user. It works anywhere on the web, so a Lisbon team can manage local and offshore hiring from one place.
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is the software a team uses to manage hiring end-to-end: posting jobs to boards and a branded careers page, collecting and parsing applications, moving candidates through pipeline stages, scheduling interviews, capturing structured scorecards, and collaborating on decisions. Pitch N Hire's ATS (its 'Operate' product) does all of this in the browser, with a free-forever tier for a single user and paid plans as a team grows. Because it is web-based it serves companies anywhere — a team can run its local recruitment and any offshore hiring from the same system, with reporting on time-to-fill and source performance so the process stays measurable rather than run over email and spreadsheets.
Create roles once and publish to your branded careers page and multiple job boards, so applications flow into one organised pipeline instead of scattered inboxes.
Resumes are parsed and candidates captured automatically, with duplicates merged, so your team starts from a clean, searchable candidate database.
Drag candidates through customisable stages, leave notes, and keep everyone aligned on where each person is — no more spreadsheet status-chasing.
Schedule interviews, share structured scorecards, and gather feedback in one place so hiring decisions are consistent and comparable across interviewers.
Dashboards show time-to-fill, source performance and pipeline conversion, so a team can see what's working and hire more predictably over time.
Pitch N Hire's applicant tracking system covers the full hiring workflow in one place:
Lisbon is Portugal's economic and startup capital and one of Europe's hottest nearshore destinations, home to a wave of international engineering offices, unicorns and scale-ups drawn by talent, lifestyle and lower costs than London or Berlin. Hosting the Web Summit each year has cemented its profile, and rapid inbound relocation has tightened the market for experienced software, product and data engineers across fintech, SaaS and travel-tech.
Lisbon talent is highly international and English-fluent, strong in JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, cloud and product engineering, fed by universities and a large influx of relocating professionals. The pool is deep for a city its size, but heavy competition from foreign employers has pushed up senior salaries and made experienced hires slower to secure — a common reason Lisbon teams add offshore capacity.
Lisbon commands Portugal's highest developer pay, though still well below London or Dublin — senior software engineers often in the region of €45k–€70k gross, with premiums for cloud, data and AI skills. Offshore augmentation from India typically delivers comparable seniority at a lower blended rate, which is why cost-conscious Lisbon scale-ups run hybrid local plus offshore teams.
For Lisbon founders and engineering leaders competing with well-funded international offices, PNH offers an offshore pod: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, overlapping several working hours with Lisbon's WET/WEST time, to add delivery capacity quickly without bidding against relocated talent or setting up a new entity.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Lisbon 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.
