HR Recruitment Services in Bangladesh

Hire employees in Bangladesh with the sourcing, screening, contract and onboarding handled by one Dhaka-based provider. HRBD recruits permanent, contract and remote staff for local companies and for foreign companies that have no entity here, and can employ the hire itself through its employer services where you need a legal employer. Three specialist services sit under this one: staffing solutions for temporary, contract and project engagement models, talent management for keeping and developing the people you hire, and executive search for leadership roles.

Qualified Candidates

Hiring Without a Local Entity

Foreign companies can recruit and start employees in Bangladesh before registering a company. HRBD sources and screens the candidates, then employs them under its own registered entity through employer services, running payroll and statutory filings so you direct the work and HRBD carries the employer obligations.

Selecting Candidates

Growing a Local Team

Bangladesh companies adding roles use HRBD as an outsourced recruitment function: a written role brief, sourcing across job boards, LinkedIn and HRBD's own database, structured screening and a shortlist you interview. Retention and development of the hires continues through talent management.

Onboarding New Hires

Volume and Project Hiring

For seasonal peaks, projects or a new site, HRBD recruits in batches and can place the people on its own payroll as temporary, contract or project staff. The engagement models, and who is the legal employer under each, are set out on the staffing solutions page.

Maintaining Relationships

Leadership Hires

Country heads, C-suite and specialist function heads are recruited through confidential search rather than advertising: a written market map, direct approaches and assessment before offer. This is HRBD's executive search service, run one role at a time.

Why Choose HRBD for HR Recruitment?

HRBD is a Dhaka-based HR, payroll and Employer of Record company. Most recruiters stop at the shortlist; HRBD can also write the contract under the Bangladesh Labour Act, register the employee, run payroll and hold the file, so a hire becomes a compliant employee without a second provider. Where you already have an entity, HRBD hands over a signed contract and a complete file and onboarding runs through HR onboarding.

What every recruitment engagement covers:

Sourcing across job boards, professional networks, referrals and HRBD's candidate database.
Screening by structured interview, skills test and reference check, with notes on every shortlisted candidate.
Verification of identity, education and employment history before an offer is made.
Contract and onboarding under the Bangladesh Labour Act, by HRBD or by your entity.
Feedback to every interviewed candidate, so your employer name is protected in the market.

What HRBD Commits to in Every Hire

Two commitments apply to every recruitment engagement, whatever the role or the volume, and both are written into the engagement letter before sourcing starts.

Commitment to Excellence

Every hire HRBD makes in Bangladesh is put on a written contract that follows the Bangladesh Labour Act, with identity and background verified before the offer and the statutory registrations completed at joining. Where HRBD is the employer this is done by HRBD; where you are, HRBD prepares the contract and file for your signature. Screening uses the same method as employee assessment.

Integrity and Transparency

Candidates are told who will see their details before they are put forward, salary expectations and current-employer information are shared only with the people you name, and your hiring plans are not disclosed to the market. For confidential senior roles the search runs through executive search, where the client name is withheld until you agree to reveal it.

HR Recruitment: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers on scope, hiring without an entity, process, sourcing, checks, timelines and fees in Bangladesh.

What do HRBD's HR recruitment services include?

HRBD's recruitment service in Bangladesh covers the written role brief, sourcing across job boards, professional networks, referrals and its own candidate database, structured screening with interviews and skills tests, identity and background verification, the employment contract under the Bangladesh Labour Act, and onboarding. Where you have no local entity HRBD can also be the legal employer.

Can a foreign company hire employees in Bangladesh without a local entity?

Yes. HRBD recruits the employees and employs them under its own registered company through its employer services, running payroll and statutory filings, while you direct the day-to-day work. You can move the employees to your own entity later if you set one up.

How does the recruitment process work?

  1. You send HRBD the role, headcount, budget range and whether you have a Bangladesh entity.
  2. HRBD returns a written brief, the sourcing plan and the fee basis for sign-off.
  3. HRBD sources candidates and screens them with structured interviews and skills tests.
  4. You receive a shortlist with screening notes and interview the final candidates.
  5. HRBD verifies identity, education and employment history and supports the offer.
  6. The contract is signed under the Bangladesh Labour Act by HRBD or by your entity, and onboarding begins.

How is HR recruitment different from staffing solutions or executive search?

HR recruitment is the core service: finding and hiring people for your roles. Staffing solutions is the engagement-model layer, covering temporary, contract, contract-to-hire and project staff with HRBD as employer. Executive search is the confidential, one-role-at-a-time method for leadership positions. All three are run by HRBD in Bangladesh and can be combined.

Where does HRBD find candidates in Bangladesh?

Sourcing combines online job boards, LinkedIn and professional networks, employee referrals, direct approaches for senior roles, and HRBD's own database of previously screened candidates. The mix is set in the sourcing plan for each role.

What checks are done before an offer?

Structured interviews, role-specific skills tests where relevant, reference checks, and verification of identity, education and previous employment. The results are recorded in the screening notes that accompany the shortlist.

How long does it take to fill a role?

It depends on the role, seniority and market. Roles with a ready pool move faster than specialist or leadership roles that need a search. HRBD gives an expected timeline in writing for each role once the brief is agreed rather than promising a fixed number of days.

How are fees set, and what is not included?

The fee basis, payment stages and replacement terms are agreed in the engagement letter before sourcing starts. Work visas for foreign nationals, relocation logistics and HR software are not part of the recruitment service; foreign staff are handled through expatriate management.
