Contract staffing gives Istanbul, Turkey 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 Istanbul 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:
Istanbul is Turkey's economic engine and by far its largest technology market, concentrating the country's venture funding, startups and multinational engineering offices across two continents. It is the heart of a globally notable mobile-gaming cluster — Peak and Dream Games among its billion-dollar exits — alongside strong fintech, payments, e-commerce and logistics-tech scenes that keep demand high for mobile, backend and data engineers.
Istanbul's talent pool is the deepest in Turkey and skews toward mobile game development, Unity/C#, backend and data engineering, with strong pockets in payments and marketplace platforms. Graduates flow from top universities such as Boğaziçi, ITU and Koç, but competition from well-funded studios and foreign remote employers makes senior mobile and backend specialists genuinely hard to secure locally.
Istanbul commands Turkey's highest developer pay, and because of high inflation many senior roles are quoted in USD; senior engineers often land roughly 90,000–170,000 TRY per month locally, with dollar-denominated packages common at funded studios. Teams stretching budgets or needing niche skills quickly often blend local Istanbul hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced through PNH.
For Istanbul founders and engineering leaders, an offshore pod adds capacity fast: PNH sources and vets India-based engineers, overlaps most of the working day with TRT given only a 2.5-hour gap, and handles employment and compliance through its Employer of Record — so a studio or scale-up can grow delivery without competing for scarce senior local talent.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Istanbul 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.
