Remote Staffing Agency for Hiring in Bangladesh
Empowering Your Business with Top Talent from BangladeshEicra Soft Limited is a remote staffing agency that builds your offshore team in Bangladesh without a separate recruiter, employer of record and payroll provider. One agreement covers all three: we find and screen candidates, become their legal employer, give each person a laptop, and run payroll, leave and tax. You choose who joins and direct their daily work.
The first step is a 30-minute scoping call about the role, where we also advise on the salary range for it. After the call you receive a written quote, and sourcing starts once you approve it.

What does our remote staffing agency cover?
Our remote staffing services in Bangladesh cover the full employment cycle for each person, from the first shortlist to the final payslip. The lines below mark where our duty starts and where it stops, so you know what you are buying before the scoping call.
Leave and wages follow the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006. A worker has 10 days of casual leave and 14 days of sick leave a year on full wages. Annual leave builds up at 1 day for every 18 days of work after 1 year of service. Wages are due within 7 working days of the end of each wage period, and final wages within 30 working days of a role ending.

Who employs and who directs your remote staff?
Your remote staff in Bangladesh are employed by us and directed by you. A remote staffing agency recruits, employs and pays people who work for you from another country, and we are one of them. We sign the contracts under Bangladeshi law and run payroll, tax deductions and statutory filings. You choose who is hired and set their tasks.
We are the legal employer
Accountability. Eicra Soft Limited signs the employment contract, so payroll, tax deductions, leave records and statutory filings are our legal duty in Bangladesh, not yours. You do not need a company, a bank account or a tax registration of your own in the country.
Contracts under local law
Jurisdiction. Every staff member gets a written appointment letter and a photo identity card, as section 5 of the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 requires. Leave and wage payment follow the same Act, and we keep the records that show each step was done under it.
Your hires, your direction
Control. You interview the shortlisted candidates and the decision to hire is always yours. Once they start, full-time staff work only on your tasks, in your own tools and during your working hours, while we handle the employment side behind them.
How does staffing with Eicra Soft Limited work?
Every remote staffing engagement runs through the same five steps, and each one ends with a decision that belongs to you. Timing depends mostly on how specialised the role is and how quickly your team can interview. We agree the pace at the scoping call instead of promising a date.
| Step | What happens | Your decision | What you receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Scope | A 30-minute call on the role, skills and salary range | Whether to go ahead | A written quote for the role |
| 2. Shortlist | We source and pre-screen candidates against your job description | Who you want to interview | Screened candidate profiles |
| 3. Interview | We arrange video interviews between the candidates and your team | Who receives the offer | A confirmed hire and start date |
| 4. Employ | We issue the appointment letter and identity card, and set up the laptop and accounts | The first working day | A staff member ready on day one |
| 5. Manage | We run payroll, leave, tax and employment records every month | Daily tasks and priorities | Monthly payroll and leave records |
What stays with your team
Your managers set the daily tasks, review the work and decide on raises, promotions and the end of a role. Eicra BD carries those decisions out inside the employment contract and the law, and tells you before you act when a step needs notice or a formal process. The International Labour Organization describes the same split in its Private Employment Agencies Convention (No. 181): the agency is “employing workers with a view to making them available to a third party”, which “assigns their tasks and supervises the execution of these tasks”.
Do you hire without a Bangladesh company?
If your company has no legal entity in Bangladesh, Eicra Soft Limited employs your staff for you, so hiring does not have to wait for an incorporation. You keep the people, the work and the knowledge, while we hold the contracts, the payroll and the statutory records. If you already own an entity here, our PEO services in Bangladesh run its HR and payroll instead, and your entity stays the employer on every letter.
Tax is part of that. Section 86 of the Income Tax Act 2023 says the person responsible for paying employment income “shall, at the time of making such payment, deduct tax on the amount so payable”. As the employer, Eicra Soft Limited makes that deduction each month, so you need no tax registration of your own here.

Are you building your first remote team?
Smaller companies often start with one or two people and add more once the first hires work out. Every role uses the same contract terms and setup, so each new hire takes less of your time. Part-time roles are possible where the work suits them.
Illustrative example: a company opens with one customer support agent. It approves the written quote, interviews the shortlist and picks one person. Eicra Soft Limited issues the appointment letter and sets up the laptop. A second role later follows the same five steps.

Do your freelancers need proper contracts?
If people in Bangladesh already work for you as freelancers, Eicra Soft Limited can employ them on written contracts with leave and regular pay. That gives them the security of employment and gives you records that show how each person is engaged.
Section 5 of the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 states: “No employer shall employ any worker without giving such worker an appointment letter and every such employed worker shall be provided with an identity card with his photograph.” If your people are to stay independent instead, see our contractor management service.

If you only need candidates found and will employ them yourself, our remote recruitment service is the better fit.
Hiring outside Bangladesh too?
Bangladesh is where Eicra Soft Limited is the direct employer. For staff in Sri Lanka, Vietnam and some other countries we work through in-country partner employers, which costs more than in Bangladesh because a second employer is involved. We confirm which countries are available at the scoping call. Once staff sit in more than one country, our multi-country payroll services put every country on one register with one approval routine.
Why Bangladesh rather than India or Pakistan?
Bangladesh is a smaller IT export market than India or Pakistan, and we would rather say so than hide it. For a small team that can work in your favour, because your roles are not queued behind very large accounts.
Dhaka runs six hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) all year, so a Dhaka afternoon overlaps a London morning. If you need hundreds of people at once, a remote staffing agency in a larger market may suit you better.
Which roles can you staff in Bangladesh?
Roles we staff include IT and software development, digital marketing, content writing and customer support, as well as virtual assistants, bookkeepers and project managers. The three specialist areas beside this text are also covered. If a role needs a licence or a site visit in another country, we tell you at the scoping call whether it fits.
Whatever the role, working time follows the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006: under sections 100 and 102, an adult worker ordinarily works no more than 8 hours in a day and 48 hours in a week.

Which guides help before you decide?
Three guides help before a scoping call. Read the law that governs the employment, see the wider employer of record service, or compare remote staffing with recruitment only. Each one answers a question buyers raise early, so bring whatever is still open to the call with us.
Bangladesh Labour Act 2006, official text
The Act sets the rules for the staff we employ, including the appointment letter in section 5, casual leave in section 115, annual leave in section 117 and the timing of wage payment in section 123. Read it on the official Laws of Bangladesh website.
Employer of record services overview
Remote staffing is one part of our wider employer of record services in Bangladesh. That page covers the full set, including employment for expatriate staff, work permits and support for companies that later decide to open their own entity in Bangladesh.
Recruitment without ongoing employment
When you plan to employ the person yourself, our remote recruitment service finds and screens candidates without becoming the employer. Compare it with remote staffing before you choose, because the contract, the monthly duties and the total cost are different for you.
What do buyers ask about remote staffing?
How is the cost worked out?
The cost is worked out per role from three parts: the salary for that role, the statutory cost of employing someone in Bangladesh, and our service fee of US$199 per employee per month for running the employment. A full-time role usually lands between US$500 and US$1,200 a month, all in. We still quote each role in writing after the scoping call, because the total depends mainly on the salary.
For comparison, Upwork publishes a median rate of US$13 an hour for virtual assistants, which is roughly US$2,080 a month for full-time work before platform fees. The average customer service salary on its own is about US$39,100 a year in the United States and about £21,400 in the United Kingdom, before employer taxes. Global employer of record platforms charge a further US$599 to US$699 per employee per month on top of the salary.
What does remote staffing include?
Remote staffing with Eicra Soft Limited includes finding and screening candidates, employing the person you choose, setting up their laptop and accounts, and running payroll, leave, tax and records every month. You direct the daily work, while we carry the employment duties in Bangladesh.
Who is the legal employer?
Eicra Soft Limited is the legal employer. We sign the employment contract and issue the appointment letter and photo identity card that section 5 of the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 requires, so the employer duties sit with us and not with your company.
How long until someone starts?
The start date depends on the role, so we do not promise a fixed date. Common roles move faster than specialist ones, and the biggest variable is usually how quickly your team can interview. We agree the expected pace at the scoping call and tell you early if a role is hard to fill.
Can we switch from another provider?
Yes. A switch moves only the employment to Eicra Soft Limited, so daily work does not stop and pay and leave carry on without a gap, in three steps: We review the current contracts and leave balances. We agree a transfer date with you and the staff. We issue new appointment letters and take over payroll from that date.
