- Manages deliverability, list health, and suppression to protect sender reputation

- Contract, contract-to-hire, or full-time — your choice

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 to Hire a HubSpot Email Marketing Specialist
A few things we hear from clients before they reach out.
- Open rates or click rates are declining and no one has investigated why
- Your email list hasn't been cleaned or segmented in over six months
- You're sending batch-and-blast emails to your whole list — and engagement is falling
- Deliverability issues are appearing — high bounce rates, spam complaints, or landing in promotions
- You need a lifecycle email program built from scratch: welcome series, nurture flows, re-engagement, and retention
How to Vet a HubSpot Email Marketing Specialist
Email specialists need a rare combination of creative, technical, and analytical skills. Test for all three before making a hire.
Red Flags to Watch For
- Cannot explain the difference between hard bounces, soft bounces, and spam complaints
- Has never built a segmented lifecycle email program — only batch sends
- No experience monitoring or recovering sender reputation

What a HubSpot Email Marketing Specialist Does
A strong email hire builds the full program — from list health and deliverability infrastructure to the sequences that move contacts from stranger to customer.
Lifecycle Email Program Design
Architects the full email journey — welcome series, lead nurture, trial or demo follow-up, onboarding, re-engagement, and retention — mapped to lifecycle stages in HubSpot.
Workflow Automation Builds
Builds HubSpot workflows that trigger, branch, delay, and re-enroll contacts based on behavior, properties, and lifecycle stage — not just time-based sends.
Email Copywriting
Writes subject lines, preview text, and email body copy that earns opens and drives clicks — in a voice that fits the brand and speaks to the specific audience segment.
List Health Management
Runs regular list audits — removing hard bounces, suppressing chronic non-openers, and managing subscription types — to maintain a healthy, engaged contact base.
Deliverability Monitoring
Monitors sender reputation, bounce rates, and spam complaint rates — and takes corrective action before issues escalate into inbox placement problems.
A/B Testing and Optimization
Runs structured A/B tests on subject lines, send times, CTAs, and email length — applying learnings systematically to improve performance across the program.
Segmentation and Personalization
Builds dynamic segments and smart content that personalizes email content by persona, lifecycle stage, industry, or behavior — without manually managing dozens of lists.
Email Performance Reporting
Builds HubSpot email reports that connect sends to pipeline — open rates, click rates, CTOR, conversion to MQL, and attributed revenue — giving leadership a clear ROI view.
