Hiring New Employees

Pre-Hire Assessment

For roles you are filling now, HRBD runs skills tests, structured interviews and reference checks on shortlisted candidates so the hiring decision rests on evidence. This links into HRBD's HR recruitment service when you want sourcing and assessment together.

Promoting Employees

Promotion Readiness

When a promotion or a move into management is being considered, HRBD assesses the employee against the competencies of the target role, not the current one, and reports where they are ready and where they need support before the change.

Identifying Employees

Training Needs Analysis

HRBD maps each employee's current skills against what their role requires and returns a gap report by person and by team, so your training budget in Bangladesh goes to the gaps that affect output rather than to generic courses.

Performance Reviews

HRBD designs the review framework, trains your line managers to score consistently, and can sit in as an independent assessor for senior or sensitive reviews, so the cycle produces comparable results across departments.

Employment Screening for HRBD

Why Choose HRBD for Employee Assessment?

HRBD is a Dhaka-based HR, payroll and Employer of Record company. Our assessors work from criteria agreed with you in writing before any assessment starts, score against Bangladesh role benchmarks rather than imported templates, and hand back a report your managers can use in a pay review, a promotion panel or a training plan.

Because HRBD also runs payroll and HR administration for many of the companies it assesses, the results connect to real decisions: a promotion recommendation can flow into a revised contract, a training gap into a development plan. For leadership roles the same team supports executive search, and for foreign staff in Bangladesh assessment sits within expatriate management.

Employee Assessment: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers on methods, process, who assesses, how results may be used and confidentiality in Bangladesh.

What is an employee assessment?

An employee assessment is a structured evaluation of a person's skills, competencies and performance against the requirements of their role. HRBD runs these in Bangladesh for decisions such as promotion, pay review, training and succession, using criteria agreed with the employer beforehand and reporting the results in writing.

What assessment methods does HRBD use?

HRBD combines structured interviews, work samples, role-specific skills tests, manager and peer input, and performance data where you have it. The mix depends on the role and the decision the assessment supports; HRBD proposes the method in writing before the assessment starts. Psychometric instruments are used only where a licensed tool is appropriate and agreed.

How does the employee assessment process work?

  1. You brief HRBD on the roles, the people and the decision the assessment will support.
  2. HRBD drafts the competencies, weightings and rating scale and you sign them off.
  3. Employees are told what is being assessed, by whom, and who will see the results.
  4. HRBD runs the interviews, tests or work samples and collects manager input.
  5. Scores are moderated across assessors and a written report is issued per person and per team.
  6. HRBD walks your managers through the results and the recommended next steps.

Who conducts the assessment?

HRBD assessors who have no reporting line inside your company. For routine performance cycles HRBD can instead train your own line managers to score consistently and moderate their results, which keeps the cost down for large teams.

Can the results be used for promotion or disciplinary decisions?

The report is designed to inform promotion, pay and development decisions and is written so it can be shown to the employee. It is not a disciplinary finding on its own: any adverse action must follow the Bangladesh Labour Act and your HR policy, including the employee's right to respond. HRBD states this in every report.

Is employee assessment different from pre-hire screening?

Yes. Pre-hire screening assesses external candidates before an offer; employee assessment evaluates people already employed. HRBD provides both, and where you want sourcing and assessment together the work runs through HRBD's HR recruitment service.

How long does an assessment take?

It depends on headcount, the number of methods and how quickly interviews can be scheduled. A single role review moves faster than a department-wide cycle. HRBD gives an expected schedule once the brief and criteria are agreed rather than promising a fixed number of days.

How is employee data kept confidential?

Interview notes, test results and reports are held by HRBD under written confidentiality terms and shared only with the people you name. Employees are told before the assessment what will be shared and with whom, and individual results are never disclosed to peers.
