\"\"<\/a>Progi is an information technology company specializing in the automotive industry. Many of its solutions directly assist auto recyclers. Alexandre Rocheleau, Director of Human Resources, explains how the company tackled the labour shortage challenge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada, our small and medium-sized business face the common challenge of labor shortages. Despite our diverse team and good retention rates, we needed to find new talent to support our growth.<\/p>\n

Before the pandemic, we explored the possibility of recruiting new immigrants, carefully selected in their countries of origin, to join our team in Trois-Rivi\u00e8res. However, the immigration process was complex and time-consuming, involving heavy regulations and obligations, such as finding suitable housing for newcomers. Even with some government incentives, bringing new talent on board could take six months to two years.<\/p>\n

The pandemic taught us that we could work remotely as effectively as in person. This realization led us to consider a new approach: what if we went to them instead of bringing them here? We conducted a socio-economic study of countries in Latin America that shared our time zone and could provide the skills we needed. Since we primarily needed programmers, we were not restricted by the need for physical labor in our facilities.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
