What is independent contractor matching?
Independent contractor matching is a service that finds, vets and connects a company with self-employed professionals who work on agreed projects or hours under a service agreement, not an employment contract. In Bangladesh, it gives foreign companies access to a large pool of freelance developers, designers, marketers and finance specialists, with a written contract that covers scope, payment, intellectual property and confidentiality.
- Short projects and specialist tasks
- Flexible, part-time or ongoing work
- Testing a market before hiring staff

Contractor or Employee? The Key Differences
Getting this right protects you and the contractor. We set up each engagement so it stays a genuine contractor relationship.
| Question | Independent contractor | Employee |
|---|---|---|
| Who controls how the work is done | The contractor, within the agreed scope | The company |
| Working hours | Set by the contractor or by agreement | Fixed by the company |
| Tools and equipment | Usually the contractor's own | Provided by the company |
| Other clients | Free to work for others | Usually works for one employer |
| How payment works | Per project, milestone or invoice | Monthly salary and benefits |
| Main legal document | Service agreement | Employment contract |
If a contractor works like an employee in practice, Bangladesh labour law protections may apply. General information, not legal advice.
Every Engagement Comes With a Clear Contract
A written service agreement, reviewed with you before work starts, covers:
- Scope and deliverables
- Milestones and payment terms
- Intellectual property assignment
- Confidentiality
- Data protection
- Termination and handover

What is independent contractor matching?
It is a service that finds, vets and connects a company with self-employed professionals who work on agreed projects or hours under a service agreement, not an employment contract.
Can a foreign company hire independent contractors in Bangladesh?
Yes. A foreign company can engage self-employed professionals in Bangladesh under a service agreement, as long as the relationship is genuinely independent. This is general information, not legal advice.
What is the difference between a contractor and an employee?
A contractor controls how the work is done, sets their own hours, uses their own tools and can work for other clients. An employee works under the company’s direction, usually full-time, for a salary and benefits.
What happens if a contractor is treated like an employee?
If the relationship works like employment in practice, Bangladesh labour law protections may apply. For full-time, directed roles, consider employing the person instead. See managed teams.
How do Bangladeshi contractors get paid by foreign clients?
Usually by international bank transfer to the contractor’s bank account, or through payment platforms that work in Bangladesh. Payments are made per milestone, per month or against an invoice.
Who owns the work a contractor produces?
The agreement should assign intellectual property to your company once payment is made. We include IP assignment and confidentiality clauses in every agreement.
How do you vet contractors?
We check identity, review portfolios and past work, run a skills test or technical interview, and take references from previous clients before you meet anyone.
What if a contractor does not work out?
We agree a replacement process before work starts, so you can switch to another vetted contractor with minimal delay.
How is contractor matching priced?
Usually as a one-time matching fee or a monthly management fee, with the contractor’s rate agreed separately. We confirm everything in writing before the search begins.
