Pitch N Hire's executive search helps Cluj-Napoca, Romania 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 Cluj-Napoca 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:
Cluj-Napoca is the heart of Transylvania's technology scene and, per capita, one of Romania's most tech-dense cities. It has grown a distinctive product- and startup-oriented culture alongside outsourcing work, anchored by a large technical university and a mature developer community. Because the city's tech workforce is comparatively concentrated, demand for experienced engineers frequently outpaces local supply, keeping the market competitive and salaries rising.
Cluj-Napoca talent skews toward product engineering and modern stacks — JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, .NET, mobile, cloud and increasingly AI and data work — fed by strong graduate pipelines from its universities. The community is well-networked and quality is high, but the pool is smaller than Bucharest's, so senior and specialist roles can be slow to fill, which is where offshore augmentation adds scale.
Cluj-Napoca developer pay is among Romania's highest, often close to Bucharest levels — senior engineers frequently in the region of RON 170,000–300,000 gross per year — reflecting intense local competition for a concentrated talent pool. Employers stretching budgets or adding niche skills quickly blend local Cluj hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced through PNH.
For Cluj-Napoca product companies and scale-ups, PNH assembles an offshore India-based engineering pod, vets for the specific stack, and overlaps substantial working hours with EET for daily collaboration. Employment and compliance run through PNH's Employer of Record, so a Cluj team can grow delivery capacity without stretching a comparatively concentrated local talent pool.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Cluj-Napoca 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.
