Recruitment and staffing in Bangladesh: build a remote team without an entity

What is recruitment and staffing through an EOR in Bangladesh?
Recruitment and staffing through an EOR in Bangladesh is a combined service in which a local provider finds and screens candidates for a foreign company, then employs the chosen hire through its own registered Bangladesh entity, so the client gets a vetted team member on a compliant contract without opening an office or a local payroll.
Nexus Payroll runs the search from our Gulshan office using a database of pre-screened professionals, university partnerships and targeted outreach, and hands the successful candidate straight into our Employer of Record onboarding. Companies with their own entity can use the search alone and run payroll through us or in-house.
How does the recruitment process work?
The process runs in four stages over three to five weeks: a briefing call to fix the role, salary band and interview plan; sourcing and screening to a shortlist of three to five assessed candidates; client interviews we schedule and support; and offer, reference checks and EOR onboarding, with a free replacement if the hire leaves within 90 days.

Recruitment FAQ
Which roles are foreign companies hiring in Bangladesh?
Software engineering, QA and DevOps lead, followed by finance and accounting, customer support, digital marketing, data annotation and back-office operations. Bangladesh graduates roughly 30,000 IT-related students a year, and Dhaka and Chattogram host the bulk of English-speaking professional talent. We also place senior country managers and sales leads for companies entering the local market.
What salary should we expect to pay in Bangladesh?
Professional salaries in Dhaka are typically a fraction of US or Western European equivalents, but they vary widely by seniority and English proficiency. Because published surveys age quickly, we benchmark each role against live offers from the last quarter and share the range before you approve a search, so your offer lands without over- or under-paying.
What is the notice period candidates must serve in Bangladesh?
Monthly-rated permanent workers must give 60 days' notice to resign under s.27 of the Labour Act, though many professional contracts specify 30 days and employers often waive the balance. Plan for a four-to-eight-week gap between offer acceptance and start, and let us negotiate a buy-out where the role is urgent.
