HR Services in Bangladesh for Employers

Run HR in Bangladesh without building an HR department: HRBD recruits, employs, pays and manages people for local companies and for foreign companies that have no entity here. The HR practice is organised in four groups, each with its own hub: outsourced HR services for day-to-day HR operations, recruitment and talent for hiring and retention, offshore and onshore staffing for teams employed by HRBD and placed with you, and human capital management for assessment, executive search and expatriate management.

HR Services for Local and Foreign Employers

HR Bangladesh serves two kinds of employers: foreign companies hiring in Bangladesh without a local entity, and local businesses that want to outsource part or all of their HR. Both get the same compliance-first service, adapted to how they operate.

Foreign companies: HRBD acts as your HR presence in Bangladesh and, through its employer services, as the legal employer of your staff, handling hiring, payroll and labour-law compliance while you run the business from abroad.

Local businesses: HRBD takes over recruitment, payroll and employee records under HR outsourcing, so your team stops spending time on HR administration.

Both: One team manages the full employee lifecycle in Bangladesh, from first hire to ongoing compliance, under one named point of contact.

HR Services in Bangladesh: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers on scope, working without an entity, how engagements start, legal employer, confidentiality and fees.

What HR services does HRBD provide in Bangladesh?

HRBD provides four groups of HR services in Bangladesh: outsourced HR services (records, contracts, leave, policies and compliance), recruitment and talent (hiring, talent management and executive search), offshore and onshore staffing (teams employed by HRBD and placed with you), and human capital management (employee assessment, executive search and expatriate management). Payroll and Employer of Record services run alongside them.

Can a foreign company use HRBD without a registered entity in Bangladesh?

Yes. Through its employer services HRBD employs your staff under its own registered company, runs payroll and statutory filings and holds the employment contracts, while you direct the work from abroad. If you later set up an entity, the employees can be moved to it.

How does an engagement with HRBD start?

  1. You describe the roles or HR functions, headcount, timeline and whether you have a Bangladesh entity.
  2. HRBD replies with the service group that fits, the scope, exclusions and a cost breakdown.
  3. You sign an engagement letter for that scope.
  4. HRBD delivers under one named point of contact and reports at agreed points.
  5. Further services are added by a short scope addendum rather than a new negotiation.

What is the difference between HR outsourcing and staffing?

HR outsourcing means HRBD runs HR functions for employees who are on your payroll and contracts. Staffing means HRBD recruits and employs the people itself and places them with you, remotely or on-site. Many clients use both: outsourced HR for their existing team and staffing for additional headcount.

Who is the legal employer under each service?

For outsourced HR services, your company remains the employer and HRBD administers. For offshore and onshore staffing, and for any hire made through employer services, HRBD is the legal employer and carries the statutory obligations while you direct the day-to-day work. Each engagement letter states which applies.

How is confidential information handled?

Employee records, salaries, assessment results and candidate details are held under written confidentiality terms in every engagement and shared only with the people you name. Employees and candidates are told what will be shared and with whom.

What are the fees for HR services in Bangladesh?

Indicative package fees are shown on this page in Bangladesh taka. The scope, billing period and headcount each package covers, and the fee basis for recruitment, staffing and search, are confirmed in a written quote before the engagement starts. HRBD does not renegotiate fees after work has begun.

What does HRBD not provide?

HRBD does not sell or licence HR software; reports are supplied in a format you can load into your own systems. Relocation logistics, housing and schooling for foreign staff are outside the service, although the work permit and payroll side is handled through expatriate management.

HR service hubs: outsourced HR services, recruitment and talent, offshore and onshore staffing and human capital management. Foreign companies without an entity start with employer services.
