What concrete results has it brought you, in figures if possible?

A 20% increase in foot traffic to the store because we increased our presence on social media. Revenue climbed by 30%, which is significant.

If you hadn’t hired in Madagascar, what would you have done?

Nothing, because the company cannot afford to pay additional Quebec salaries. We tried hiring Quebecers in the past and the equivalent salary was $75K.

So, what would have been different specifically, in figures if possible?

We would have lost the 30% increase in revenue, and that would have slowed our growth. Our growth depends on the low-cost outsourcing of social media.

How do you compare a Malagasy employee to a Canadian employee?

An employee who needs clear instructions. Executes tasks with enthusiasm and is extremely hardworking. What struck me was the involvement and rigor in task execution, as well as the skill level. They have great respect for the exact hours on the schedule; the employee works every minute of their 40 hours. No need to supervise them.

What is the best way to manage a Malagasy employee on a daily basis?

Create a task list with a follow-up system. Make sure the employee has plenty of work scheduled in advance. It’s surprising how much work they can get done in a day. A well-established system works on its own.

In the beginning, there are hours to invest for integration, but once the system or work method is in place, the time spent managing a Malagasy employee is minimal.

Would you recommend FrancoStaffing to another company?

Yes, because the service is fast and professional. The candidates proposed are all of high quality. It’s clear that a rigorous pre-selection of candidates has been done beforehand.

Without her, we would have hired Quebec interns.

So, what exactly would have been different, in numbers if possible?

There wouldn't have been any difference in results, but we would have had to do two or three intern recruitments over the year.

How do you compare the Malagasy employee to a Canadian employee?

Even with a reduced salary, the Malagasy employee works 40 hours a week without any issue and is highly motivated.
