Companies in Stockholm, Sweden 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 Stockholm 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:
Stockholm is one of Europe's most prolific startup capitals, having birthed global names in music streaming, payments and buy-now-pay-later fintech alongside a dense venture ecosystem. Demand for product, backend, data and platform engineers runs consistently high, and with a small local population, high living costs and strong competition from well-funded scale-ups, senior hiring is fast-moving, expensive and often constrained by limited supply.
Stockholm talent is product-minded and design-conscious, with deep pools in JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Python, cloud (AWS/GCP) and payments-grade backend engineering, plus a strong music-tech and consumer-app heritage. KTH Royal Institute of Technology feeds a steady senior pipeline, and near-universal English removes any language barrier — but intense scale-up competition means specialist roles can be slow and costly to fill locally.
Stockholm commands Sweden's highest developer pay, with senior software engineers frequently in the region of SEK 720k–SEK 1,000k plus employer costs and, in scale-ups, equity. Offshore augmentation from India typically delivers comparable seniority at a materially lower blended rate, which is why cost-conscious Stockholm founders run hybrid local-plus-offshore teams to extend runway.
For Stockholm founders and engineering leaders, the fastest route to added capacity is often an offshore pod: PNH sources and vets India-based engineers, arranges several hours of daily overlap with Central European Time for standups, and handles employment and compliance through its Employer of Record — so there is no Swedish entity to set up and no added local headcount cost.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Stockholm 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.
