The best developers might not want to work for your company. “I don’t even want to work there. They keep hitting me up about admin positions” I’ve heard something similar from a number of Salesforce developers lately. Before they really hear much about the job. Or the company. Or find out whether they would click with the team. Their mind is already made up. Not because these companies are bad places to work. Or because it’s not the right opportunity for them. But recruiters keep reaching out to these developers about entry-level admin positions over and over again… It makes it clear that the recruiter doesn’t really do any homework beyond searching for the word “Salesforce” in a resume or LinkedIn profile. The company’s reputation is ruined with the professionals who could be helping them add significant revenue by optimizing the way they use Salesforce. Because a recruiter who doesn’t know anything about a Salesforce career beyond looking for that keyword keeps reaching out about jobs to the wrong people. A good recruiter doesn’t just find you the right Salesforce developer… They protect your reputation with every future Salesforce pro you might need to bring on to your team.

Are you considering integrating Data Cloud into your Salesforce CRM applications? Don't forget the backbone of any Salesforce CRM application - standard and custom objects, especially sObjects. Compatibility with these objects is crucial for a successful integration. While the Data Cloud can add value and usability to your company data, navigating the integration process can be challenging. Keep sObjects in mind and ensure compatibility for successful integration. #Salesforce #DataCloud #CRM #sObjects #Integration

☀ ☀ HAPPY FRIDAY SALESFORCE FRIENDS - HERE'S A BREAKDOWN OF THE ROLES I RECRUITED IN 2023/2024 FY ☀ ☀ You'll notice from the graphs below, last year I seen a significant increase in hiring for Salesforce Administrators, Salesforce Functional Consultants and the re-rise of the "Salesforce Platform Owner / Manager" type role. A few interesting themes: 💡 Small - Mid size companies reaching out to hire an Administrator or Platform owner to join their business and "own" the Salesforce solution. Usually to work in partnership with their Salesforce Implementation partner. 💡 Significant decrease in Salesforce Developer recruitment this year, this may be down to the lack of hiring in larger enterprise companies (who are big enough to have / need onshore development teams). It also may just be down to the companies I've worked with this year. Has anyone else seen the same theme? 💡 Despite there being alot of commentary on how many applications there are to direct adverts, especially for Salesforce Administration roles - the majority of the Salesforce Administrators that I've placed have been from companies that have tried to hire directly. They either were overwhelmed with too many applications that a simple 1 or 2 qualified CVs from me were enough to solve their problem OR the vast amount of people who had applied for their roles were not at the right level they were expecting, therefore again, engaging me to send 1 or 2 qualified candidates was easier for them to make hiring decisions. Other interesting stats: 29.4% placements were with Salesforce Partners 70.6% placements were with Salesforce Customers (End users) 58.8% Placements were Permanent 41.2% Placements were Contract (slight drop from 45.5% the year before) Are there any other themes people have seen over the last year? Will this year be a return to seeing more Development roles? Will companies continue to invest in their internal Salesforce teams? Feel free to share your thoughts! #Salesforcejobs #Salesforcerecruitment #turningcoffeeintocareers
