Why hire a dedicated offshore secretary in Madagascar with ScaleMyCrew?
The role of a secretary remains central to the coordination and smooth running of a company’s administrative operations. Yet for many SMEs and growing organizations, this position quickly becomes expensive and difficult to fill locally. This is where ScaleMyCrew comes in, as a specialist in setting up dedicated offshore teams in Madagascar. We support you in hiring an experienced offshore secretary who integrates seamlessly into your organization while benefiting from our local HR management.
Our model is simple and effective: you build your own dedicated team in Madagascar, supervised locally by ScaleMyCrew, while keeping full control over day-to-day operations. We handle recruitment, HR onboarding, employee support, and logistics. You take care of role-specific training, skills development, and daily priorities, as if your offshore secretary were a full member of your staff.
Hiring a dedicated secretary in Madagascar significantly reduces your fixed costs. On average, an offshore profile costs 2 to 3 times less than an employee in France or Belgium, with an equivalent level of expertise. You also avoid the burden of contracts, equipment, office space, and HR administration. At ScaleMyCrew, we take care of all these aspects, so you can stay focused on operational performance.

What tasks can you delegate to your offshore secretary?
The scope of your offshore secretary’s work depends on your needs, but the most common tasks include: answering incoming calls, scheduling meetings, drafting and formatting documents, maintaining spreadsheets, digital filing, supplier or client relations, meeting logistics, and acting as a liaison with partners or colleagues. Some secretaries can also handle part of the sales support or HR administration depending on their profile.
All tasks are carried out remotely but with the same rigor as if they were in-house. The goal: to relieve your operational load while maintaining a high level of reliability, communication, and responsiveness.
Client project inspired example : an SME optimizes its support functions with a dedicated offshore team
A Paris-based B2B services SME with around 60 employees hired an offshore secretary through ScaleMyCrew to manage schedules, organize meetings, and centralize contractual documents. Impressed by the quality of service, the company expanded its offshore team to 6 people, including an administrative assistant, a customer service agent, and an IT support technician. Each profile was trained on the company’s tools (Outlook, Trello, CRM) and fully integrated into its workflows. This structured reinforcement improved internal processes, reduced administrative delays, and significantly cut payroll costs.

From the very start, your offshore secretary is supported by our local HR team in Madagascar, who ensure well-being, consistency, and alignment with your processes. You also benefit from a dedicated European account manager who knows your account, monitors satisfaction, and helps adapt the mission as your needs evolve.
