About CRM Force
Boutique means something different when the person who built the company has done the work.
Saad Ahmed spent 20 years as a CRM consultant, solution architect, and implementation lead — building marketing automation and CRM systems for clients from start-ups to publicly traded enterprises. He founded CRM Force to bring practitioner-led vetting to a space dominated by generalist agencies.
Every candidate goes through a two-step internal qualification process — reviewed by two separate evaluators before they reach you. We confirm experience, certifications, technical depth, and fit. You receive a shortlist, not a resume dump.
CRM consultants, architects, developers, and admins. Marketing automation specialists. RevOps leaders, business analysts, and project managers. If it touches the CRM or marketing technology stack, we place it. Contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire — across all seniority levels.
We Recruit for You
Three reasons companies choose us over a traditional recruiter — and what makes the difference in practice.
Vetted by Someone Who Has Done the Work
Saad Ahmed, founder of CRM Force, spent 20 years as a CRM Consultant and Solution Architect — building HubSpot implementations, designing data models, and running client engagements himself. When he reviews a candidate for your role, he is not reading a job description. He is evaluating whether someone can do work he has done himself. That distinction matters.
No Resume Dumps. A Shortlist You Can Act On.
You receive 3 to 5 pre-vetted candidates, each with our written assessment — why we believe they fit your role, where they are strong, and what to probe in the interview. Our internal process puts every candidate through two separate evaluation stages before they reach you. You only meet people who have cleared the bar.
Three Engagement Models. One Standard.
Contract for short and long-term engagements. Contract-to-hire when you want to try before you commit. Direct placement for permanent roles. Every model includes the same sourcing, multi-stage screening, skills assessment, and reference validation. The delivery vehicle changes — the standard does not.
Our Recruitment Process
Four steps from brief to shortlist — no surprises, no padding, no wasted interviews.
We Learn Your Requirements
A focused role briefing call — not a generic intake form. We ask about portal size, Hub configuration, seniority level, technical depth required, team structure, and what a genuinely great candidate looks like for your specific situation. The brief matters more than most clients expect.
We Search Our Network
We work our pre-built database of CRM and HubSpot professionals alongside targeted outreach to passive candidates who are not actively applying. The majority of the people we present are not on job boards — they are available to the right opportunity, if the right person asks.
You Receive a Shortlist
Typically 3 to 5 pre-vetted candidates, each with our written assessment — not just a resume. We tell you why we believe each person is right for your specific role, where they are strong, and what you should probe in the interview. You decide who moves forward.
We Support You to Offer
We coordinate interviews, facilitate debriefs, provide market-rate compensation benchmarks, and support you through the offer stage. The search does not end when we send the shortlist — it ends when you have the right person in the role.

Signs You Need a Dynamics 365 Project Manager
A few things we hear from clients before they reach out.
- Your D365 implementation is running over schedule and no one is managing the timeline
- Scope creep is constant and there is no formal change control process
- The consulting team and internal team are misaligned and no one is mediating
- Stakeholder expectations and delivery team capacity are out of sync
- You have multiple D365 programs running in parallel and need coordination
What to Look For in a D365 Project Manager
The best D365 PMs combine project management discipline with enough platform knowledge to anticipate technical risks.
Red Flags to Watch For
- Has only worked in PMO support roles — has never owned full delivery of a D365 program
- Cannot describe a scope challenge and how they handled it without scope growth or relationship damage
- Unfamiliar with D365-specific delivery risks like data migration delays or integration timeline dependencies
- No formal project management methodology (PMP, PRINCE2, or at minimum a structured self-taught approach)

What a Dynamics 365 Project Manager Does
D365 Project Managers own the delivery machinery that keeps complex implementations on track.

Produces and maintains the implementation plan — work breakdown structure, timeline, resource plan, and dependency mapping.
Scope Governance
Runs formal change control, maintains a scope log, and ensures the team delivers against the agreed baseline.
Risk & Issue Management
Maintains a risk register with D365-specific risks — data migration, integration, UAT — and drives mitigation actions.
Budget Tracking
Monitors project spend versus plan, forecasts remaining costs, and reports variances to leadership proactively.
Stakeholder Engagement
Manages communication with executive sponsors, business owners, and the technical team — keeping all parties informed and aligned.

Leads the cutover planning, coordinates go-live day activities, and manages the post-go-live hypercare period.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a D365 Project Manager and a D365 Consultant?
- A Consultant delivers specific functional or technical work — configuration, customization, training. A Project Manager owns the delivery framework — timeline, budget, scope, risk, and stakeholder communication. On larger programs, both are essential and their roles are distinct.
- Do D365 PMs need PMP or PRINCE2 certification?
- Not required, but valued. What matters more is evidence of full-cycle D365 implementation delivery — the methodology is secondary to the experience.
- How long does it take to hire a D365 Project Manager?
- CRM Force typically delivers a shortlist within 5 to 10 business days. We focus on PMs who have owned D365 delivery — not project coordinators who have been given the PM title.
- Do D365 Project Managers work on contract or full-time?
- Contract is most common — D365 PM work is naturally project-scoped. Full-time roles exist at large organizations running multiple programs simultaneously.
