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.

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

- Your D365 is due for an upgrade and no one is tracking the timeline or preparing
- Integration failures between D365 and your other systems go unnoticed for days

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a D365 Administrator and a D365 Consultant?
- A Consultant is engaged to implement a specific project or change. An Administrator manages the platform on an ongoing basis — users, security, environments, monitoring, and minor configuration changes. Many organizations need both: a Consultant for major changes, and an Administrator to keep the platform healthy between projects.
- Can a D365 Administrator also do Power Platform administration?
- Yes, and this is increasingly common. D365 and Power Platform are deeply integrated, and most organizations govern them together. D365 Administrators who also manage Power Platform environments, DLP policies, and CoE Starter Kit tooling are more versatile hires.
- How long does it take to hire a D365 Administrator?
- CRM Force typically delivers a shortlist within 5 to 10 business days. Senior Administrators who can also handle light configuration and release management are more selective and may take slightly longer.
- Is a D365 Administrator a full-time role?
- For organizations with active D365 deployments and regular change, yes. Smaller organizations sometimes share an Administrator across D365 and other Microsoft applications, or use a managed service. CRM Force places both dedicated Administrators and those with broader Microsoft 365 scope.
