      Lukasz Fireshield Services
    • Building application development teams locally is extremely challenging both in terms of costs and talent availability. Luckily, we were introduced to Sourcefit and they helped us create our own offshore team, which proved to be a great solution to both problems. Their team has supported us every step of the way.

      Alex Offshorly Ltd
    • When we outsourced our first position several years ago I never imagined that so many of our design and construction support roles could be handled by remote staff. But from CAD specialists, to estimators, production managers and accountants we have had great success.

    Madagascar outsourcing FAQ

    Direct answers to the questions we hear most.

    • How much does it cost to outsource to Madagascar with Sourcefit?

      Sourcefit’s Madagascar rates average $1,026 per month for a customer service representative, $1,206 for technical support, $1,716 for a digital marketing manager, $2,347 for a Java developer and $4,701 for a senior developer. Every rate is all-inclusive, covering salary, statutory contributions, equipment, secure office space and management. Clients typically save up to 50 percent compared with equivalent hiring in Europe or the US.


    • What time zone is Madagascar in, and how does it align with Europe?

      Madagascar operates on East Africa Time (UTC+3) year-round and does not observe daylight saving. This puts it 2 to 3 hours ahead of most Western and Central European time zones, giving real-time overlap across the EMEA business day.


    • What languages do Madagascar teams support?

      French and Malagasy are Madagascar’s official languages, and Sourcefit’s Madagascar teams are predominantly bilingual in French and English, making the country well suited to francophone Europe, Africa and broader EMEA support programs.


    • Why outsource to Madagascar instead of the Philippines, South Africa or the Dominican Republic?

      Madagascar is the right fit when French-language capability and EMEA time zone overlap matter most. The Philippines and South Africa suit teams prioritizing maximum cost savings or UK time zone overlap, and the Dominican Republic suits teams prioritizing US time zone overlap and bilingual English-Spanish support.


    • How much management time will this require from me?

      Minimal. Sourcefit handles day-to-day HR, payroll, benefits, IT infrastructure and facilities management from its Antananarivo office. You direct the work; Sourcefit manages the administration.


    • Is Sourcefit’s Madagascar delivery ISO certified?

      Yes. Sourcefit holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for Information Security Management and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 for Privacy Information Management, both certified by SHAMKRIS and applied across Sourcefit’s global delivery centers, including Madagascar. Documentation is available for client due diligence.


    • Does Sourcefit support Madagascar’s data protection law?

      Sourcefit’s ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certifications, together with GDPR-aligned data protocols, support compliance with Madagascar’s Law No. 2014-038 on the Protection of Personal Data. Sourcefit can provide data processing documentation for client due diligence.


    • What is Sourcefit’s pricing model?

      Sourcefit uses a transparent cost-plus model. Every monthly invoice shows the staff member’s salary, statutory contributions, facilities, equipment and Sourcefit’s management fee separately. There are no deposits, hidden markups or first-invoice surprises.


    • How quickly can Sourcefit fill a position in Madagascar?

      Recruitment timelines depend on the role, seniority and specialization required, and are confirmed during your consultation. Sourcefit’s Antananarivo team maintains active talent pipelines across customer service, technical support, marketing and development roles.


    • What is the minimum team size?

      There is no minimum. Clients can start with a single staff member and scale into a full department over time.


    • What awards has Sourcefit received?

      Recent recognition includes a Gold Stevie Award at the 2026 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards for AI Innovation, the Fortress Cyber Security Award 2026, a place in the Outsource Accelerator OA500 top 500 global outsourcing firms for 2025, and a Gold Stevie Award at the 2025 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards.
