How can a company hire in Bangladesh?
A company with its own Bangladesh entity can hire directly, and we handle sourcing, screening and offers through local recruitment. A company without an entity can still build a full-time team: we recruit the people and employ them through our Employer of Record service, while the company directs their daily work. For engineering roles, our tech recruitment adds technical screening before you interview.

Recruitment in Bangladesh: Frequently Asked Questions
Can a foreign company hire employees in Bangladesh without a local entity?
Yes. Through Remote Team Hiring + EOR we recruit the people and become their legal employer in Bangladesh, running contracts, payroll, salary tax and statutory benefits. You direct their daily work and pay one monthly invoice.
What is the difference between local recruitment and remote team hiring with EOR?
With local recruitment your own Bangladesh company is the employer and we only run the search. With remote team hiring and EOR we also employ the people for you, so no local entity is needed.
How do you screen software engineers?
After a CV and phone screen, each candidate completes a technical test or code review matched to your stack, followed by checks on English, experience and references. You receive written notes for every shortlisted engineer.
How long does it take to fill a role?
It depends on the seniority and how specialised the skills are. We agree a timeline in the role brief and send you progress updates each week until the role is filled.
Which roles do you recruit in Bangladesh?
Software engineers, QA, DevOps, data and AI specialists, designers and product managers, plus finance, HR, operations, sales, country managers and programme staff for companies and INGOs.
Can you also run payroll for the people you hire?
Yes. Hires made through our EOR service are on our payroll automatically. If your own entity employs them, our payroll outsourcing service can run their monthly salaries, tax and benefits.
Do candidates need to speak English?
For roles that work with overseas teams or clients, we check spoken and written English during screening and note the level in each candidate profile.
How are your recruitment fees charged?
Fees are agreed in writing before the search starts and depend on the role and the hiring option you choose. We invoice in USD or BDT.
