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.

One conversation is usually enough. No commitment required.
Signs You Need a Power BI Developer
A few things we hear from clients before they reach out.
- Your executive dashboards are still built in Excel and updated manually every week
- Your D365 out-of-box reports do not give you the cross-entity or multi-system view you need
- Self-service BI exists in name but reports are inconsistent and no one trusts the numbers
- Your Power BI reports are slow or hit capacity limits because the data model was not designed correctly
- You need row-level security and workspace governance but no one on the team has set it up at scale
What to Look For in a Power BI Developer
Strong Power BI Developers build on sound data models — not flat queries and calculated columns that slow down at scale.
Red Flags to Watch For
- Builds flat query reports with no data model — works for small datasets but collapses at enterprise scale
- Cannot write a DAX time intelligence calculation or explain the difference between CALCULATE and FILTER
- Has never implemented row-level security or workspace governance
- No experience with DirectQuery or large dataset optimization — only small Import mode reports

What a Power BI Developer Does
Power BI Developers build the analytics infrastructure that transforms raw operational data into decisions.
Data Model Design
Builds the star schema data model — fact tables, dimensions, relationships, and calculated tables — that all reports are built on.
DAX Development
Writes complex DAX measures for KPIs, time intelligence, ranking, and conditional calculations that business users cannot build themselves.
Power Query Build
Designs and documents Power Query transformations that clean, shape, and load data from D365, SQL, Azure, and third-party sources.
Dashboard Design
Creates interactive, visually clear executive dashboards and operational reports with drill-through, bookmarks, and cross-filtering.
Row-Level Security
Implements static and dynamic RLS models that restrict report data by role, region, or organizational hierarchy without duplicating reports.
Deployment & Governance
Sets up Power BI workspaces, deployment pipelines, refresh scheduling, and usage monitoring for enterprise-scale report management.
Power BI Development Areas

The calculation engine for all analytics.
- Time intelligence (YTD, QTD, MoM)
- Context modification with CALCULATE
- Iterator functions (SUMX, AVERAGEX)
- Ranking and conditional logic
Report Design
The business-facing analytics layer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between Power BI Pro and Power BI Premium?
- Power BI Pro licenses individual users to publish and share reports within the Power BI service. Power BI Premium provides dedicated capacity — allowing unlimited report consumers without individual Pro licenses, larger datasets, faster refresh rates, and paginated reports. For organizations sharing reports broadly, Premium Per User (PPU) or Premium capacity is typically the right answer.
- How long does it take to hire a Power BI Developer?
- CRM Force typically delivers a shortlist within 5 to 10 business days. Power BI Developers with strong data modelling and DAX skills — not just drag-and-drop report building — are in consistent high demand.
- Do Power BI Developers need Microsoft certifications?
- PL-300 (Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst) is the primary certification and a strong hiring signal. It covers data modelling, DAX, and report design. For developers who also work on data engineering or Azure-side data pipelines, DP-500 (Designing and Implementing Enterprise-Scale Analytics Solutions) is the more advanced credential.
- Can a Power BI Developer connect to Dynamics 365 data?
- Yes — Power BI connects to Dynamics 365 and Dataverse natively via the Dataverse connector or DirectQuery. It also supports connecting to D365 Finance and Operations via Azure Data Lake or export-to-data-lake. A strong Power BI Developer will understand the data architecture decisions involved in each approach.
