Offshore Remote Staffing in Bangladesh
Build a dedicated remote team in Bangladesh — without opening a company.
PayrollBD helps foreign companies hire, pay and manage dedicated offshore staff in Bangladesh. We recruit skilled professionals who work exclusively for you, and we handle payroll, HR and local compliance — so you get a remote team on the ground without setting up a legal entity.
What is offshore remote staffing?
Offshore remote staffing is a model where a company hires dedicated employees in another country — here, Bangladesh — who work exclusively for it, while a local partner handles recruitment, payroll, HR and compliance. The staff act as an integrated part of your team, using your systems and taking your direction, but based in Bangladesh.
Why hire offshore staff in Bangladesh?
Bangladesh is the world’s second-largest supplier of online labour, accounting for around 16% of the global online workforce, according to the Oxford Internet Institute — behind only India. That means a deep pool of English-speaking professionals in software, design, digital marketing, finance and back-office work, at costs well below Western markets.
For a foreign company, the hard part isn’t finding talent — it’s employing it compliantly: contracts, payroll, income tax at source (TDS) and local rules.
Roles you can hire offshore in Bangladesh
Six role families make up most offshore teams built here, and each draws on a different part of the local talent pool. The list below names them with the jobs that sit inside each, so you can see whether the role you need is one we recruit for.
- Software & IT — web/app developers, QA & testing, IT support
- Design & creative — UI/UX, graphic design, animation
- Digital marketing — SEO, content, social media, PPC
- Finance & admin — bookkeeping, accounting, data entry
- Customer support — email, chat and voice support
- Back office — research, virtual assistance, operations
What you keep, and what we run
Your team, your systems and your day-to-day direction stay with you, and the staff work exclusively for your company. PayrollBD carries the employment side — recruitment, contracts, payroll, income tax at source (TDS) and local compliance — so none of it depends on you holding a Bangladesh entity.
- You — interview and choose, set the hours and tools, direct the work
- PayrollBD — sources, screens, issues contracts and keeps the records
- PayrollBD — runs payroll, TDS and local compliance

How offshore staffing works — 5 steps
The engagement runs in five steps, and the split of work is fixed at each one: we recruit, onboard and run the back office, while you interview, choose and direct the work. Nothing moves to the next step until the one before it is agreed.
- Tell us the roles — skills, seniority and number of people.
- We recruit — source, screen and shortlist; you interview and choose.
- We onboard — contracts and documentation, handled compliantly.
- You direct the work — your team, your systems, your management.
- We run the back office — payroll, HR, tax and compliance, every cycle.
Offshore staffing vs opening your own entity
No entity and want staff employed fully compliantly? Our Employer of Record (EOR) and PEO services are the routes that fit — we’ll advise which.
| Offshore staffing (PayrollBD) | Opening your own entity | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to start | Fast — no incorporation | Slow — registration first |
| Legal entity needed | No | Yes |
| Recruitment | Done by us | You build HR |
| Payroll & tax compliance | Handled for you | Your responsibility |
| Best for | A remote team, quickly | Large, permanent operations |

How much does offshore staffing cost in Bangladesh?
