Hire in Dhaka: staffing & recruitment
To hire developers in Dhaka, companies can recruit from Bangladesh's largest tech workforce or add offshore engineers from India through staff augmentation when local roles are slow or costly to fill. Dhaka concentrates the country's software houses, outsourcing firms, fintech and startups. Pitch N Hire supports both local recruitment for Dhaka roles and compliant offshore team-building without a new entity.
The Dhaka hiring market
Dhaka is Bangladesh's capital and overwhelmingly its biggest technology employer, home to the densest cluster of software-development houses, IT-enabled services, fintech and mobile-financial-services companies in the country. Areas like Kawran Bazar and the emerging Bangabandhu Hi-Tech City ecosystem anchor the industry, while a huge base of freelancers works from the city. Demand for engineers is strong and rising, and competition among employers for experienced developers is the fiercest in Bangladesh.
Developer talent in Dhaka
Dhaka talent is broad, spanning PHP and Laravel, JavaScript, Python, mobile, and a growing base of cloud and data engineers, shaped by outsourcing delivery and a vast freelancing culture. Leading institutions such as the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology and the University of Dhaka feed a strong graduate pipeline, but because many engineers work for foreign clients, local employers compete hard for mid-level and senior people.
Dhaka commands Bangladesh's highest developer pay, with senior software engineers often in the region of BDT 1,800,000–3,600,000 gross per year, and premiums for cloud, data and specialist skills. For teams stretching budgets or filling volume roles quickly, offshore augmentation from India can supply comparable seniority at a competitive blended rate alongside local Dhaka hires.
Building an offshore team from Dhaka
For Dhaka employers and scale-ups, PNH provides an offshore extension of the team: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, sharing an almost-identical working day with Bangladesh Standard Time. This adds delivery capacity for busy programmes without competing further in Dhaka's tight local market or adding new local headcount cost.
Dhaka anchors Bangladesh's IT-export sector and one of the world's largest online-freelancing communities, a scale that has made outsourcing delivery and mobile-financial-services engineering the defining strengths of its hiring market.
How to hire developers in Dhaka: step by step
-
Decide local vs offshore for each Dhaka role
Split your roles into those that must be on-site in Dhaka and those an offshore engineer can own. Pitch N Hire can recruit the local roles and augment the rest with vetted India-based talent. -
Define the skills and seniority
Write a clear brief — stack, seniority, and the outcomes each hire must deliver — so sourcing is targeted and every shortlisted candidate is genuinely qualified for your Dhaka team. -
Source and vet candidates
PNH sources from its India talent pool for augmentation, or runs local recruitment for Dhaka roles, screening every candidate with structured interviews and skills assessments. -
Interview and select
You interview your shortlist with structured scorecards and make every hiring decision — PNH surfaces qualified people; you choose who joins. -
Onboard compliantly and scale
Offshore hires are employed through PNH's India Employer of Record and onboarded into your tools and sprints, so your Dhaka team gains capacity in weeks — then scales up or down as needed.
