Contract staffing gives Lausanne, Switzerland teams flexible, project-based engineering capacity without permanent headcount. Pitch N Hire supplies vetted contract engineers — primarily from India — employed and compliance-managed through its Employer of Record, so a Lausanne company can staff a project for a fixed period and scale down cleanly when it ends.
Contract staffing provides engineers for a defined period or project rather than as permanent employees — ideal for fixed-scope builds, seasonal peaks, or covering a gap while you recruit. Pitch N Hire supplies vetted contract talent, mainly from India, and employs each contractor through its Employer of Record so contracts, payroll, tax and compliance are handled correctly and you carry no permanent-headcount liability. Contractors work under your direction inside your process, and you can extend, convert or release them as the project requires. This flexibility is useful for teams whose workload is uneven or who want to try talent before committing to a permanent or offshore-team arrangement.
Define the project, duration, skills and number of contractors you need. We agree on start date, extension options and how success will be measured.
PNH proposes vetted contract engineers with the right skills and availability from its India talent pool, usually within days, with profiles and rates.
You interview and choose; PNH puts each contractor on a compliant contract through its Employer of Record, so there is no permanent liability or entity for you to manage.
Contractors join your tools and sprints and deliver under your direction for the agreed term, with PNH handling payroll, compliance and administration.
At the end of the term you extend, convert to a longer arrangement, or release cleanly — flexible capacity that matches an uneven or project-driven workload.
Contract staffing fits situations where you need capacity for a defined window, not forever:
Lausanne, on the shores of Lake Geneva, has become one of Switzerland's strongest deep-tech ecosystems, driven by EPFL and the Innovation Park's dense cluster of AI, robotics, medtech and biotech spin-offs. Startups here compete with large employers for a narrow pool of research-grade engineers, and demand runs high for machine learning, computer vision, embedded systems and life-sciences software.
Lausanne talent is research-heavy and academically strong, fed directly by EPFL's engineering and computer-science programmes. Notable depth exists in machine learning, computer vision, robotics, embedded and firmware development, and bioinformatics. The workforce is highly international and often works in English, but because so much talent is early-career and spin-off-bound, established teams frequently supplement local hires with offshore capacity.
Lausanne developer pay tracks Swiss norms, with senior engineers frequently in the region of CHF 110k–150k plus employer contributions. Offshore augmentation from India typically delivers comparable seniority at a much lower blended rate, letting research-driven Lausanne startups extend runway by pairing a specialist local core with a scalable offshore engineering team.
For Lausanne deep-tech founders, an offshore pod adds engineering hours without diluting a lean local research team: PNH sources and vets India-based engineers, overlaps working hours with CET for collaboration in English, and handles employment and compliance through its Employer of Record — no Swiss entity or payroll required.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Lausanne 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.
