Companies in Bilbao, Spain 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 Bilbao 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:
Bilbao anchors the Basque Country's economy, which reinvented itself from steel, shipbuilding and heavy manufacturing into an advanced-engineering, industrial-technology and services base after decades of urban regeneration. The region's dense network of engineering firms, cooperatives and machine-tool makers now drives demand for industrial IoT, automation, embedded and enterprise software, while a rising fintech and digital-services scene adds appetite for backend, cloud and data engineers across a comparatively small but highly skilled pool.
Bilbao talent leans toward engineering-grade software — embedded systems, industrial automation, C/C++, Java and .NET — reflecting the Basque manufacturing and machine-tool heritage, alongside a strengthening fintech-driven demand for backend and cloud skills. The University of the Basque Country and Mondragon's cooperative engineering schools feed a disciplined, retention-strong workforce, though its modest size means senior cloud, data and specialist developers are quickly absorbed, prompting teams to reach for offshore capacity.
Bilbao developer pay tends to run a little below Madrid and Barcelona but above Andalusian cities, reflecting Basque industrial wages — senior engineers often around €40k–€60k plus employer social-security costs. Because the local pool is skilled but small, Bilbao firms scaling delivery or needing cloud and data specialists often blend local hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced and employed through PNH.
For Bilbao's industrial-software and fintech employers, PNH supplies an offshore extension: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, overlapping the full Central European morning for daily coordination, so delivery-heavy and specialist work scales beyond a compact regional pool without adding Basque headcount cost or standing up a Spanish entity.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Bilbao 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.
