Questions

Platform hiring questions, answered.

Which technologies does TekRecruiter recruit for?

Eleven platforms: Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, ServiceNow, Microsoft Dynamics, Adobe Experience Cloud, Zuora and Stripe billing, MuleSoft, AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. Each has its own page describing the skill sets we place and how we screen them.

How much does a ServiceNow or NetSuite developer cost per hour?

In TekRecruiter’s 2026 work, ServiceNow developer-architects billed an average of $130 an hour and NetSuite developer-architects $110. Zuora and Stripe billing specialists billed $110, Microsoft Dynamics developers $95, HubSpot developers $88, and Adobe Experience Manager developer-architects $80. See the 2026 Tech Salary & Rate Guide.

Should we hire a platform developer or an architect?

A developer builds on the platform; an architect designs how it fits the business and the systems around it. On ServiceNow, NetSuite and Adobe Experience Manager, most clients want one person who can do both, and that combined developer-architect is the profile we are asked for most.

Are platform roles usually contract or full-time?

Mostly contract and contract-to-hire. Platform work often comes as an implementation, migration or build-out with a defined end, and billing projects on Zuora and Stripe have averaged about four months. When a platform becomes central to the business, we help convert the consultant or hire a permanent team; 98% of our contract-to-hire consultants convert.

Are you a certified partner on these platforms?

TekRecruiter is a certified Salesforce partner, AWS Partner and Google Cloud Partner, and a Microsoft Solutions Partner. Founder Ron Smith is an AWS Certified Solutions Architect, a Salesforce Certified Platform Developer and a Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect.

Can we hire platform developers nearshore?

Yes. We place English-fluent platform and cloud developers in Latin America who work US hours, at about 50% lower cost than US hires. See nearshore engineering.
