Pitch N Hire's executive search helps Seattle, United States 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 Seattle 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:
Seattle is a top-tier US tech hub built around the headquarters of two of the world's largest cloud and software companies, plus a thick layer of engineering offices, gaming studios and aerospace employers. That gravity has created one of the deepest senior-engineering markets in the country, but it also means the biggest players absorb much of the local talent, keeping compensation high and specialist hiring fiercely competitive.
Seattle talent is exceptionally strong in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, backend and large-scale services, with deep expertise in Java, C#, Python and Go and a culture shaped by hyperscale operations. The University of Washington feeds a strong pipeline, yet the dominance of a few giant employers means startups often find senior specialists hard to win and turn to offshore support.
Seattle developer pay ranks near the coastal top tier — senior engineers often in the region of $160k–$230k base plus equity, with no state income tax lifting take-home. Offshore augmentation from India delivers comparable seniority at a much lower blended cost, so leaner Seattle companies pair a local core with an offshore delivery pod.
For Seattle startups competing against hyperscale employers for talent, PNH offers an offshore extension: vetted India-based engineers employed via an Employer of Record with overlap into the Pacific-time morning, expanding cloud and platform delivery capacity without matching the local giants on headcount cost.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Seattle 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.
