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 CRM Developer
A few things we hear from clients before they reach out.
- Your D365 configuration has hit the limits of what is possible without custom code
- You need a custom integration between D365 and another system — ERP, website, payment gateway
- Your UI needs custom PCF controls that the standard D365 form builder cannot create
- You need complex server-side business logic implemented as plugins or Custom APIs
- Your existing customizations are causing performance issues or breaking on Microsoft updates
What to Look For in a Dynamics CRM Developer
Strong Dynamics CRM Developers write clean, upgrade-safe code — not workarounds that break on every platform release.
Red Flags to Watch For
- Only knows how to configure — cannot write a C# plugin from scratch and explain the sandbox execution model
- Writes unsupported customizations that break on every Microsoft update cycle
- No experience with solution layering, managed solutions, or ALM pipelines
- Cannot explain how to debug server-side plugins or trace a performance issue in a plugin chain
Whatever your sector, we know CRM talent.

What a Dynamics CRM Developer Does
Dynamics CRM Developers build the custom code layer that makes D365 do exactly what the business needs.
Plugin Development
Writes server-side C# plugins that execute business logic on record create, update, delete, and custom messages — with proper error handling and performance design.
PCF Control Development
Builds custom UI components using the Power Apps Component Framework for forms, grids, and dashboards when the standard controls are insufficient.
Integration Development
Builds bi-directional integrations between D365 CE and ERP, marketing, finance, and third-party systems using the Dataverse Web API and Azure middleware.
Custom API Build
Creates Dataverse Custom APIs and Actions for secure, versioned business logic accessible from Power Automate flows, Power Apps, and external systems.
ALM & DevOps
Manages D365 solutions in source control and deploys via CI/CD pipelines — ensuring consistent, repeatable deployments across dev, test, and production.
Performance Optimization
Diagnoses and resolves performance issues in plugins, queries, and integration workflows — including plugin profiling, FetchXML optimization, and async pattern design.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a Dynamics CRM Developer and a Dynamics 365 Consultant?
- A Consultant leads the implementation — requirements, design, configuration, training, and project management. A Developer writes custom code when configuration is insufficient. Many projects need both; some engagements benefit from a "technical consultant" who does both.
- Do Dynamics CRM Developers need Microsoft certifications?
- MB-500 (Microsoft Power Platform + Dynamics 365 Developer) is a strong signal of platform knowledge. More important is a portfolio of real plugin development, PCF controls, and integration work in production environments.
- How long does it take to hire a Dynamics CRM Developer?
- CRM Force typically delivers a shortlist within 5 to 10 business days. Senior Dynamics CRM Developers with deep plugin and integration experience are consistently in demand.
- Do you place Dynamics CRM Developers on contract or full-time?
- Both. Project-based contracts are common for specific development engagements. Full-time roles suit organizations with ongoing custom development needs or large D365 environments requiring continuous enhancement.
