Pitch N Hire's executive search helps Belfast, United Kingdom companies hire senior engineering and leadership roles — heads of engineering, architects, and functional leaders — through a discreet, research-led process. PNH maps the market, approaches passive candidates and runs structured assessment, so a Belfast business fills business-critical leadership roles with rigour rather than relying on inbound applications.

Executive search is a targeted, research-led method for hiring senior and hard-to-fill leadership roles, where the best candidates are usually employed and not actively applying. Instead of posting a job and waiting, Pitch N Hire maps the relevant talent market, discreetly approaches qualified passive candidates, and runs structured, evidence-based assessment against the role's real requirements. This is used for engineering leadership, architecture, and specialist senior roles where a wrong hire is expensive and confidentiality matters. PNH's search process pairs experienced recruiters with structured interview tooling to keep the assessment consistent and defensible, whether the role is based locally or leads an offshore team.
We work with you to define the mandate — responsibilities, the outcomes the leader must deliver, and the competencies and experience that predict success in your context.
PNH researches and maps the relevant talent market, building a longlist of qualified people in comparable roles at comparable organisations — including those not actively looking.
Candidates are approached confidentially and professionally, protecting your employer brand and the candidates' current positions while gauging genuine interest and fit.
Interested candidates go through structured, evidence-based interviews and scorecards against the success profile, so the shortlist is comparable and defensible, not gut-feel.
You interview a small, high-quality shortlist; we support referencing, offer negotiation and a careful close, given how much a senior hire matters.

Research-led search suits senior and business-critical roles where a mis-hire is costly:
Belfast's hiring market is defined by cybersecurity — it is one of the world's leading destinations for security-focused investment — alongside a strong fintech and financial-services technology base and a growing software scene. Two universities feed a steady graduate pipeline, and Northern Ireland's markedly lower cost base has attracted a run of inward investment, making Belfast a value-driven alternative to Great Britain's pricier hubs.
Belfast talent is notably strong in security engineering, threat analysis and secure software, plus fintech-oriented backend and data roles and general full-stack skills (Java, .NET, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python). The universities and the security cluster together produce specialist engineers who are competitively priced. Even so, scaling senior cloud or platform capacity quickly can outstrip local supply, which is where offshore engineers help.
Belfast is among the most cost-effective UK cities for engineering, with senior developers frequently around £45k–£68k — meaningfully below Great Britain's major hubs for comparable skills. That affordability underpins its inward-investment story. Offshore augmentation from India can lower blended costs further while adding seniority, so Belfast teams and incoming firms maximise engineering value.
PNH helps Belfast employers by assembling an India-based engineering team, vetting each hire against the target stack, and keeping a broad overlap with UK working hours for daily collaboration — with employment and compliance handled through its Employer of Record. Alongside the city's low-cost local talent, this adds offshore delivery capacity without a Northern Ireland or UK entity to set up.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Belfast 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.
Pitch N Hire is an applicant tracking system your team can run from anywhere. Post roles, screen applicants, and run structured interviews across time zones in a single pipeline.
