How to Hire Salesforce Architects in 2025: A Comprehensive Guide

As businesses continue their digital transformation journey, Salesforce has become a cornerstone for managing customer relationships, sales, and data-driven decisions. To harness the full power of Salesforce, however, businesses need more than just a capable platform—they need the expertise of a Salesforce Architect. These experts are responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing Salesforce solutions tailored to the unique needs of your business.

But hiring a full-time Salesforce Architect is often a challenge, especially for companies looking for flexibility or those who need short-term, project-based support. This is where Synebo steps in. As an outsourcing company specializing in Salesforce solutions, we provide the resources and expertise needed to handle your Salesforce development and management requirements—without the hassle of recruiting or hiring.

In this guide, we’ll walk through what makes Salesforce Architects so valuable, how Synebo can provide the resources you need, and why outsourcing with Synebo is a cost-effective and efficient choice.

The Role of a Salesforce Architect: A Deep Dive

A Salesforce Developer is a highly skilled professional who tailors Salesforce solutions to meet an organization’s specific needs. They work closely with businesses to understand their core objectives and unique requirements, using the Salesforce platform to optimize operations and drive growth. A developer’s expertise enables businesses to maximize the value of their Salesforce investment by implementing customized solutions that align with their business goals.

Key Responsibilities of a Salesforce Developer

#1 Developing custom applications

Salesforce Developers are responsible for designing and building custom applications, integrations, and features within Salesforce using Apex, Visualforce, and Lightning Web Components. These custom solutions enable businesses to automate workflows, streamline operations, and enhance user experience.

As an example, the Synebo team helped a manufacturing client build a custom inventory management app within Salesforce. This app enables real-time tracking of stock levels across multiple warehouses, resulting in a 20% reduction in stock shortages.

#2 Integrating third-party applications

One of the primary roles of Salesforce Developers is to integrate Salesforce with third-party applications such as ERP systems, accounting software, or marketing platforms. This seamless integration ensures that data flows smoothly between systems, enhancing business operations.

Synebo’s development team integrated Salesforce with a client’s ERP system, enabling automatic syncing of inventory data. This integration reduced manual data entry by 80%, improving accuracy and efficiency.

#3 Providing maintenance and ongoing support

Salesforce Developers offer ongoing maintenance and support to address any issues that arise and ensure the platform is always up to date. Regular updates and patches are implemented to keep the system running smoothly and aligned with business needs.

#4 Ensuring effective data management

Data management is a critical responsibility of Salesforce Developers. They handle data migration, data integrity, and security within the Salesforce platform, ensuring that all business data is accurately maintained and securely stored.

#5 Documentation and training users

Salesforce Developers often create technical documentation, including test plans, user guides, and design specifications. They may also train end users on how to best utilize Salesforce features to increase productivity and efficiency.

Skills and Qualifications

When hiring a Salesforce Developer, it’s crucial to ensure they possess a combination of technical and soft skills. Here’s what to look for:

#1 Technical skills

A strong candidate will have an in-depth understanding of the Salesforce platform, particularly in Apex and Visualforce. They should also be proficient in Lightning Web Components, APIs, and low-code automation tools. Testing and design patterns are essential skills for ensuring that custom applications are robust and scalable.

#2 Soft skills

Apart from technical expertise, a Salesforce Developer should possess effective communication skills to collaborate with team members and stakeholders. They should be adaptable, able to learn new tools and techniques quickly, and possess strong analytical skills for problem-solving and evaluating system performance.

Hiring Options: Monthly vs. Hourly

When looking to hire Salesforce Developers, businesses can choose between hiring full-time dedicated developers or opting for developers on an hourly basis, depending on their project scope and business needs.

#1 Monthly basis

If your company requires ongoing Salesforce development and customization, hiring a dedicated developer on a full-time, monthly basis makes the most sense. This option is ideal for businesses with the resources to support long-term projects or continual improvements within Salesforce.

#2 Hourly basis

For companies that only need temporary or project-based development services, hiring Salesforce Developers on an hourly basis provides flexibility. These developers are not permanent employees, and you only pay for the hours worked, making it a cost-effective option for short-term projects.
