Your Salesforce questions, answered

Is competition high for Salesforce talent?

Salesforce investment is huge – and competition for skilled Salesforce experts is fierce, particularly as each Salesforce product requires experts with different backgrounds and the products are constantly evolving.
 
Salesforce Sales Cloud for instance requires experts familiar with operations and sales metrics, Salesforce Marketing Cloud needs experts in automation and digital marketing, and Salesforce Platform requires familiarity with app building.
 
While each of these platforms require data and analytical skills as well as CRM experience, the niche nature of each product increases competition even further.

How can I assess talent so I’m confident I make the right hiring decisions?

Salesforce experts usually have qualifications from Salesforce demonstrating their expertise, but we’ll help you create and run Salesforce aptitude tests to make sure you’re getting the best talent for your organisation.

Can I hire someone less experienced and upskill them in Salesforce?

Salesforce experts are in short supply so you may want to consider hiring less experienced individuals and training them to use the relevant Salesforce product.
 
In these instances, tech professionals with a basic understanding of data management and CRM systems who also have a willingness to learn, can adapt to new situations and who are good communicators and great problem solvers can be excellent prospects.
