Your next hire in Sri Lanka should move the business forward, not leave you managing unfamiliar payroll, contracts and suppliers. Get the decisions clear before you commit.
Send one role or an existing-team requirement. Get a written next step covering the model, cost categories and responsibilities. No meeting required.
Planning a workforce in Sri Lanka? Start with the work, not a vendor acronym. Map the role, working location, Sinhala / Tamil language needs and LKR budget, then compare recruitment, employment, contractor, payroll and managed-delivery options. This guide helps you prepare a brief and identify the local checks needed before you commit.
Your requirement, your next step
Use the answers below now. When you want a plan for your own role or team, send the relevant requirement, one person or a whole program, without a compulsory meeting.
A salary in LKR is only the starting point. Separate employer contributions, benefits, service fees, one-off setup and currency assumptions. Keep employee pay and your supplier invoice distinct; ask how overtime, bonuses and exit costs affect the budget.
Send the role, salary budget and number of people. Get the cost categories and employment responsibilities outlined for your requirement.
Start with the skills that determine success, not a long list of preferences. In Sri Lanka, specify language, work location, working hours and what the person must deliver. Agree how candidates will be screened before judging a shortlist by speed alone.
Share the role and must-have skills. Get a sourcing approach, screening plan and commercial next step.
You do not need recruitment again. Review the worker’s location, authorization, proposed relationship and start date. Identify who signs the contract, runs payroll, arranges benefits and owns onboarding and exit obligations before anyone starts work.
Send the role, location and intended start. Get the employment route, documentation, cost categories and responsibilities outlined.
Choose around the work. A role directed day to day differs from an independent deliverable; a managed team differs from a person you supervise. Entity setup also depends on your operating footprint. Compare control, duration, accountability and ongoing cost—not the cheapest label.
Describe the work and who will manage it. Get a model recommendation and the local checks needed before committing.
Before you hire in Sri Lanka

These change often and depend on your role, salary and location, so we confirm them for you rather than publish a number that may be out of date: employer contributions and caps, the current minimum wage for your role, notice and severance, sick and parental leave cost, and the public-holiday calendar.
