When Salesforce Is The Right Choice
Choose Salesforce when
- Sales and service teams already work in SalesforceBuilding on the platform keeps users, data and permissions in one place.
- Standard features nearly fitTargeted customisation closes the gap without replacing the CRM.
- You need audit trails and fine-grained accessField history, sharing rules and permission sets come with the platform.
- Several systems must share customer dataSalesforce offers APIs and events designed for integration.
Consider something else when
- The requirement can be met with configurationIf an administrator can do it with standard settings, you do not need a developer.
- You are building a public product with its own designA custom web application gives more freedom over interface and hosting.
- The process is simple and the team is smallA lighter CRM may cover the need with less to administer.

Salesforce Hiring Questions
It varies by person. If a particular certification matters to you, say so in your brief and confirm it during the interview. We assess candidates on production experience, which a certificate alone does not show.
Development is done in sandboxes or scratch orgs and moves to production through your release process. The developer is given only the permissions the work requires.
Flow suits automation that administrators will maintain. Apex suits complex logic, large data volumes and integrations. A developer can review each case and recommend one, with reasons.
Yes. The usual start is a review of triggers, automation and test coverage, followed by a prioritised list. Clean-up then runs alongside new work.
Tell us which products you use, such as Sales Cloud, Service Cloud or Experience Cloud. We shortlist people with experience of those.
