Contract staffing gives Zurich, 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 Zurich 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:
Zurich is Switzerland's economic engine, combining a global banking and insurance sector with a fast-growing fintech and blockchain scene around 'Crypto Valley' in nearby Zug. It also hosts the largest engineering campus of any global tech firm in Europe, so demand for backend, cloud, data and security engineers is fierce and local supply is quickly absorbed by well-funded incumbents and scale-ups.
Zurich talent is highly credentialed, drawing heavily on ETH Zurich graduates and experienced fintech and banking engineers. Strong pools exist in Java, Scala, Python, cloud platforms, distributed systems and quantitative/data engineering, with notable machine-learning depth from the research ecosystem. Competition from banks and large R&D centres keeps candidates scarce and hiring cycles long, which is why many teams blend in offshore engineers.
Zurich pays among the very highest developer salaries in Europe, with senior software engineers frequently in the region of CHF 120k–170k plus generous employer contributions. Offshore augmentation from India typically delivers comparable seniority at a materially lower blended rate, which is why cost-aware Zurich scale-ups run hybrid on-site plus offshore teams to protect budget without slowing delivery.
For Zurich founders and engineering leaders, the quickest way to add capacity is often an offshore pod: PNH sources and vets India-based engineers, overlaps several working hours with CET for daily standups and code review, and handles employment and compliance through its Employer of Record — so there is no Swiss entity, payroll or work permit to arrange.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Zurich 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.
