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:
Ljubljana is Slovenia's capital and the heart of its technology economy, home to most of the country's software firms, product companies, startups and international delivery work. The city has produced globally recognised products in mobile gaming and cryptocurrency, giving it a strong product-engineering reputation despite its modest scale. Anchored by the University of Ljubljana and a tight-knit developer community, the market is high-quality but small, keeping competition for experienced engineers intense.
Ljubljana talent is strong in product engineering and modern stacks — JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Python, mobile, cloud and increasingly data and AI work — supported by the University of Ljubljana and a well-connected community. English proficiency is high and quality is excellent, but the overall pool is small, so senior and specialist roles can be genuinely hard to fill locally, which is where offshore augmentation adds scale.
Ljubljana carries Slovenia's highest developer pay, with senior software engineers frequently in the region of EUR 45,000–72,000 gross per year and premiums for niche product, cloud and data skills. For teams balancing budgets or scaling delivery at speed, offshore augmentation from India can add comparable seniority at a lower blended rate alongside local Ljubljana hires.
For Ljubljana product companies and scale-ups, PNH builds an offshore India-based engineering pod, vets for the specific stack, and overlaps a wide portion of the working day with CET for daily collaboration. Employment and compliance run through PNH's Employer of Record, so a Ljubljana team can grow delivery capacity without exhausting a small local talent pool or setting up a new entity.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Ljubljana 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.
