About CRM Force

Boutique means something different when the person who built the company has done the work.

Saad Ahmed, Founder of CRM Force
Founded by a practitioner

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.

Two-step vetting

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.

What we place

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 D365 Implementation Consultant

A few things we hear from clients before they reach out.

  • You are starting a new D365 implementation and need a practitioner to lead delivery end-to-end
  • Your current implementation is stalling — requirements are unclear and configuration is not matching business needs
  • Your project is over budget because requirements were not captured correctly before build began
  • You need someone who can run workshops, manage scope, and communicate with executive stakeholders
  • The system was built by developers without a consultant — it works technically but users are not adopting it

What to Look For in a D365 Implementation Consultant

The strongest D365 Implementation Consultants combine certified platform knowledge with structured delivery skills.

Microsoft certifications: MB-910 (Dynamics 365 Fundamentals), MB-210 (Sales), MB-230 (Customer Service), or MB-240 (Field Service) — relevant to the modules being implemented.
Requirements facilitation: Can run structured discovery workshops and produce functional design documents that developers can build from.
Configuration depth: Configures entities, forms, views, workflows, and business rules without developer support for standard requirements.
UAT management: Builds test scripts, manages UAT sessions with business users, and triages defects against agreed acceptance criteria.
Change management: Builds and delivers training materials that drive adoption — not just documentation that sits unread after go-live.
Scope management: Can identify scope creep early, raise it transparently, and get stakeholder agreement on impact to timeline and cost.

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Cannot describe a go-live they led — only junior delivery roles in larger projects
  • Has never written a functional design document or run a business requirements workshop
  • No UAT management experience — only technical testing by developers
  • Cannot describe how they handled scope creep on a live project

Whatever your sector, we know CRM talent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a D365 Implementation Consultant and a D365 Solution Architect?
An Implementation Consultant leads the delivery of a specific project — running workshops, configuring the platform, managing UAT, and driving adoption. A Solution Architect designs the overall program architecture — making the foundational platform, integration, and governance decisions before consultants begin their work. Large programs often need both.
How long does it take to hire a D365 Implementation Consultant?
CRM Force typically delivers a shortlist within 5 to 10 business days. Implementation Consultants with full project lifecycle experience — from discovery to go-live — are in consistent demand.
Do D365 Implementation Consultants need Microsoft certifications?
Module-specific certifications (MB-210, MB-230, MB-240) are strong signals and demonstrate current platform knowledge. What matters more is a portfolio of implementations they have led end-to-end, not just participated in.
Can a D365 Implementation Consultant work alongside a larger SI team?
Yes — and this is common for mid-market implementations. The consultant leads the business-facing delivery work while a larger SI manages technical development and integration. CRM Force can help you find a consultant who has worked effectively in this hybrid delivery model.
