For companies in London, United Kingdom, staff augmentation is the fastest way to add capacity: Pitch N Hire supplies vetted, India-based engineers who slot into your team on overlapping working hours, with no local entity to set up. You keep control of the roadmap while PNH handles sourcing, vetting, employment and compliance, so you scale delivery in weeks rather than months.
Staff augmentation lets you extend your existing team with dedicated external engineers who work under your direction, using your tools, standups and sprint process — rather than outsourcing a whole project. Pitch N Hire sources this talent primarily from India's large engineering pool, screens for the specific stack and seniority you need, and employs each engineer through its Employer of Record so payroll, tax and compliance are handled for you. Because there is no local entity, contract, or long recruitment cycle to manage, augmented engineers can typically start within weeks and scale up or down as the roadmap changes — a flexible, lower-blended-cost complement to permanent local hiring.
Tell us the roles, tech stack, seniority and team culture you need. We align on time-zone overlap, communication cadence and the outcomes you want the augmented engineers to own.
From its pre-vetted India talent pool, Pitch N Hire returns a shortlist of engineers screened for the exact skills and level — usually within days, with profiles, assessments and availability.
You interview the candidates yourself (technical and cultural fit) using structured scorecards, and pick the people you want. You stay in control of every hiring decision.
Selected engineers are employed through PNH's Employer of Record and onboarded into your tools, repositories and sprint process, so they are productive quickly with compliance already handled.
As the roadmap changes you add or release capacity with short notice — no severance risk, no entity overhead — while PNH manages ongoing payroll, retention and administration.
Pitch N Hire can augment your team across the full engineering stack and adjacent roles:
London is one of the world's leading technology and financial-technology centres, home to the densest concentration of startups, scale-ups, global banks and Big Tech engineering offices in the UK. Demand consistently outstrips supply for backend, cloud, data and security engineers, and the city's cost of living keeps salaries high, so employers compete hard on compensation, hybrid flexibility and speed of hiring.
London talent skews senior and product-experienced, with strong fintech, payments and regulated-industry exposure and deep pools in JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Python, cloud (AWS/Azure) and data engineering. Because competition is intense and notice periods run to three months, roles can take a long time to fill locally — a common reason London teams blend in offshore engineers for capacity.
London commands the UK's highest developer pay, with senior software engineers frequently in the region of £70k–£110k plus employer on-costs and London weighting. Offshore augmentation from India typically delivers comparable seniority at a materially lower blended rate, which is why cost-conscious London scale-ups run hybrid on-site plus offshore teams.
For London founders and engineering leaders, the fastest route to added capacity is often an offshore pod: PNH sources and vets India-based engineers, overlaps several working hours with GMT for daily collaboration, and handles employment and compliance through its Employer of Record so there is no UK entity to set up.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your London 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.
