Companies in Barcelona, Spain that want to employ engineering talent in India without opening a local entity can use Pitch N Hire as their Employer of Record. PNH legally employs each hire on your behalf and manages payroll, tax, benefits and statutory compliance, so a Barcelona business can build a compliant offshore team quickly and focus on the work rather than the paperwork.
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a company that legally employs workers on your behalf in a country where you have no entity, taking on payroll, tax withholding, benefits, contracts and statutory compliance while the worker delivers under your day-to-day direction. Pitch N Hire's EOR strength is India: it lets a business anywhere hire and retain Indian engineering talent compliantly — with correct employment contracts, payroll and provident-fund/tax handling — without registering an Indian subsidiary. This removes the cost, delay and legal risk of setting up a foreign entity, and pairs naturally with staff augmentation when you want PNH to both source and employ your offshore team.
You identify the person you want to employ in India — either someone Pitch N Hire sourced for you, or a candidate you found yourself who you want employed compliantly.
PNH issues a locally-compliant Indian employment contract with the correct terms, benefits and statutory entitlements, so the engagement is legally sound from day one.
The employee is onboarded onto PNH's Indian payroll, with tax, provident fund and benefits configured correctly — no Indian entity or local finance function needed on your side.
The employee works under your day-to-day direction, in your tools and process, while PNH remains the legal employer of record for compliance purposes.
PNH runs monthly payroll, tax filings, statutory contributions and HR administration, and keeps everything compliant as regulations change — you get a report, not a paperwork burden.
As your Employer of Record in India, Pitch N Hire takes on the full employment burden:
Barcelona is Spain's most vibrant startup ecosystem and a magnet for international founders and remote engineers, drawn by its lifestyle, English-friendly workplaces and a dense scene of venture-backed scale-ups. As the annual home of Mobile World Congress, the city has an outsized mobile, connectivity and product-tech identity, and demand runs high for mobile, full-stack, product and data engineers across a young, international workforce.
Barcelona talent is strong in mobile (iOS/Android), full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript, product engineering and design-led development, with a distinctly international and English-comfortable workforce fed by UPC and Pompeu Fabra. The startup density and Mobile World Congress legacy give the city deep mobile and connectivity know-how, though intense competition for senior product engineers leads many teams to extend capacity offshore.
Barcelona developer pay is broadly in line with Madrid and among Spain's highest — senior engineers often in the region of €45k–€68k, with premiums for mobile and product specialists at funded startups. To stretch runway or add general software capacity, Barcelona teams frequently combine local hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced and employed through PNH.
For Barcelona startups guarding their burn rate, PNH provides an offshore extension of the team: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, working with a wide overlap into the Central European morning, so product and delivery capacity scales without competing for scarce senior local talent or adding costly headcount.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Barcelona 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.
