Results

Salesforce outcomes, with the numbers.

Salesforce hiring goes wrong when a recruiter cannot tell an admin from an architect, or Service Cloud from Commerce Cloud. These are three engagements where knowing the platform changed the outcome.

3 days

Service Cloud + MuleSoft

4 Salesforce developers with MuleSoft experience identified, screened, technically assessed and presented in 3 days; 2 hired on 12-month contract-to-hire.

20%+

Commerce Cloud cost cut

Our Managing Director planned bringing development and administration in house: headcount, levels, salary budget and timeline. The client presented a 20% cost saving.

Roles

The Salesforce talent we place.

Salesforce developers

Apex, Lightning Web Components and Aura developers building on Service, Sales, Marketing and Commerce Cloud.

MuleSoft and integration

MuleSoft engineers connecting Salesforce to ERP, finance and data systems.

Architects and admins

Solution and technical architects, and administrators who keep the org clean as it grows.

Nearshore Salesforce developers

Bilingual, English-fluent Salesforce developers in Latin America, working US hours at lower cost.

Who our Salesforce searches are built for.

A good fit when
  • Companies bringing Salesforce in house to cut vendor cost and regain control.
  • Service, Marketing or Commerce Cloud programs that need senior developers fast.
  • Teams that want Salesforce talent on contract, with the option to convert.
Consider another model when
  • Implementation projects you want fully outsourced. We place developers who work under your management.
  • Salesforce end users. We recruit the people who build and run the platform.
  • Visa-sponsored roles where sponsorship is not possible, unless we plan for it up front; we screen for it.
Sound familiar?

Why Salesforce searches go wrong.

Salesforce is one of the most certified ecosystems in tech, which makes résumés look alike. These are the misses we hear about most.

  • 01

    A certification isn’t a proven implementation.

    Salesforce badges are easy to collect. An org they built and maintained is not.

  • 02

    Admin, developer or architect?

    One posting, three different jobs, and the hire fits only one of them.

  • 03

    The wrong cloud.

    Service Cloud experience sent to a Commerce Cloud program, or the reverse.

  • 04

    An org buried in technical debt.

    Automation layered on automation until governor limits and releases start to fail.

Our approach

Clicks or code? We ask why they chose.

Salesforce certifications are easy to collect. We walk each candidate through an org they built or changed: which clouds, which integrations, what they automated, and what they would clean up. Every candidate we present also meets our HEART standard.

  • Which clouds, really: Service, Sales, Marketing and Commerce Cloud experience are different jobs.
  • Code and configuration: when they chose Apex or LWC over declarative tools, and why.
  • Integration: MuleSoft and API work with the systems around Salesforce.
  • Org health: how they handled technical debt, governor limits and releases.

The HEART standard

What we look for beyond skills and experience, in every candidate we present.

  1. High agencyPeople who see what needs to be done and act without waiting to be told.
  2. ExecutionPeople who turn ideas into results.
  3. AccountabilityPeople who own the outcome, not just their piece of the work.
  4. ResourcefulnessPeople who figure things out when the answer isn’t obvious.
  5. TransparencyPeople who communicate clearly, honestly, and early.
How we recruit Salesforce talent

Scope the org, then find who has run one like it.

Our full methodology
  1. Scope the org and the work

    Clouds, integrations, the size of the org and whether the hire builds, administers or architects.

  2. Screen on real orgs

    Technical conversations about orgs they built and the trade-offs they made. You interview every candidate; consultants start in as little as three days.

  3. Hire or convert

    Direct hire with a 90-day guarantee, contract, or contract-to-hire. 98% of our contract-to-hire consultants convert.

  1. The hiring team needed someone who could build a Java automation framework from scratch, and we had worked the search for six straight months with at least 12 or 13 vendors. TekRecruiter sent one candidate, and he got the job.

    Java automation framework engineer, then senior software engineers
    Working with TekRecruiter is absolutely amazing. Whenever I have the hardest reqs, the ones that have been open the longest and that every other agency is tapped out on, I know TekRecruiter will fill them. I watched them fill one of the toughest roles I owned. The hiring team needed someone who could build a Java automation framework from scratch, and we had worked the search for six straight months with at least 12 or 13 vendors. TekRecruiter sent one candidate, and he got the job. Since then, while following all our proper processes, I reach out to TekRecruiter whenever we can use agencies, and they have delivered on our toughest senior software engineering roles every time. I highly recommend working with them.

  2. We needed to hire a senior IAM engineer with deep SOC 2 knowledge, and the role had been open for more than three months. Within a week of speaking with Ron, his team sent over three very solid profiles, and we finally found the right fit in just two weeks.

    Senior IAM engineer in two weeks, then cybersecurity and software engineering hires
    I had always known the TekRecruiter name, and in 2021 one of my leadership colleagues officially introduced me to Ron. The first thing I noticed was how well he knew identity and access management products. We needed to hire a senior IAM engineer with deep SOC 2 knowledge, and the role had been open for more than three months. We had tried other agencies, but the results were unsatisfactory. Within a week of speaking with Ron, his team sent over three very solid profiles, and we finally found the right fit in just two weeks. TekRecruiter then helped us fill many more roles on our cybersecurity and software engineering teams during one of our fastest periods of growth. I have always recommended Ron and the TekRecruiter team as the best technology and engineering staffing and recruiting agency.

Questions

Salesforce hiring questions, answered.

What does a Salesforce developer earn in 2026?

In TekRecruiter’s 2026 placements, senior Salesforce engineers averaged a $160,000–$165,000 base, split between on-site roles in South Florida and remote candidates in Austin, Orlando and Tampa. See the 2026 Tech Salary & Rate Guide.

How fast can you deliver Salesforce developers?

Contract consultants can start in as little as three days. For one Service Cloud and MuleSoft program, we identified, screened, technically assessed and presented four developers within three days; the client hired two. Read the case study.

Should we bring Salesforce development in house?

Often, yes, once the org is central to the business. For a Commerce Cloud client, our Managing Director mapped the headcount, experience levels, salary budget and timeline to replace an implementation vendor with an internal team, a plan the client presented as a 20% cost saving. Read the case study.

Can you build a whole Salesforce team?

Yes. For a Miami company building out Service and Marketing Cloud, we presented 12 résumés, which led to 10 interviews and 3 full-time offers, all accepted. Read the case study.

Are you a Salesforce partner?

Yes. TekRecruiter is a certified Salesforce partner, and founder Ron Smith is a Salesforce Certified Platform Developer.

Can we hire Salesforce developers nearshore?

Yes. We place bilingual, English-fluent Salesforce developers in Latin America who work US hours, at about 50% lower cost than US hires.

What is the HEART standard?

HEART is the standard we screen every candidate against, beyond skills: high agency, execution, accountability, resourcefulness and transparency. It describes people who take ownership, turn ideas into results and move the business forward. See the standard.
