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.

When You Need a Salesforce Technical Architect
A few things we hear from clients before they reach out.
- You are starting a large Salesforce implementation and need a technical leader to own the solution design from day one
- Your existing Salesforce org has scalability, performance, or integration architecture problems that need expert diagnosis
- You need an org strategy decision — single org vs. multi-org, sandbox hierarchy, or cross-org identity management
- You are building a Salesforce ISV product or managed package and need architecture expertise for AppExchange readiness
- You need technical governance — code review standards, CI/CD pipelines, and development frameworks for a large delivery team
How We Vet Salesforce Technical Architects
Technical Architects operate at the highest technical level of Salesforce delivery — designing solutions that scale across years of growth and evolving requirements. Our vetting is rigorous:
Red Flags to Watch For
- No enterprise-scale Salesforce delivery experience — has not led a programme with 5+ developers or complex multi-cloud scope
- Cannot articulate a solution design with trade-offs and alternatives — only presents a single implementation path
- No understanding of governor limits and async processing patterns — cannot architect for large data volume scenarios
- No integration architecture experience when enterprise integrations are in scope
Whatever your sector, we know CRM talent.

What a Salesforce Technical Architect Focuses On
From solution design to production governance, here is where Technical Architects spend their time:
Enterprise Solution Design
Architect multi-cloud Salesforce solutions with scalable data models, security architecture, and integration patterns built for long-term growth.
Integration Architecture
Design event-driven, batch, and real-time integration architectures using MuleSoft, Platform Events, and REST/SOAP APIs across enterprise systems.
Performance & Governor Limits

Technical Governance & Standards
Establish code review frameworks, development standards, and CI/CD pipelines that maintain quality across large, distributed delivery teams.
Multi-Org & Org Strategy
Advise on org strategy decisions — single org vs. multi-org, sandbox hierarchy, cross-org identity, and data sharing architecture.
Security Architecture
Design role hierarchies, sharing rules, field-level security, and encryption strategies that meet regulatory and enterprise security requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does a Salesforce Technical Architect do?
- A Salesforce Technical Architect defines the technical solution design for enterprise Salesforce programmes — including data model architecture, integration patterns, security model, org strategy, governor limit management, and technical governance standards. They are the highest technical authority on a delivery programme.
- What is the difference between a Salesforce Technical Architect and a Solution Architect?
- A Solution Architect focuses on the functional design — how Salesforce capabilities map to business requirements across clouds. A Technical Architect focuses on the technical implementation — integration architecture, performance, security, governor limit management, and development standards. On large programmes, both roles are needed.
- What certifications does a Salesforce Technical Architect need?
- The Salesforce Certified Technical Architect (CTA) is the highest credential — a rigorous board review process that tests deep platform knowledge across all clouds. System Architect and Application Architect credentials are stepping stones. For large enterprise programmes, we recommend filtering for at least System Architect with demonstrated large-org delivery.
- Should we hire a Salesforce Technical Architect as an employee or consultant?
- Most organizations hire Technical Architects as consultants for specific programmes or as a contract engagement during the design and build phase. Some large enterprises hire a full-time internal Technical Architect to own the platform long-term. We place both — and can help you determine which model fits your programme timeline and budget.
