Three questions

The only three questions you need to answer first are:
  • How much does it cost to hire a Salesforce Quip developer?
  • Where to find Quip developers with decent experience and a customer success-oriented mindset?
  • How to hire Salesforce Quip developers who know their craft?

For answers, just read on.

First option: Hire a Salesforce Quip Developer as an employee

Deciding to hire a Salesforce Quip Developer can make sense for certain businesses, but it has important implications that need to be carefully considered.

Pros:

More project engagement

More project engagement between people working on the same project since you can have regular, face-to-face conversations about the project, which can help get things moving since you have the opportunity to talk about the project regularly

A more robust level of employee loyalty.

Since you offer in-house developers room to grow and a steady salary, they are more likely to stick around and have a long-term interest in your company.

Easier to keep company information secret

It’s far easier to keep company information secret since you can more easily get in-house developers to sign an agreement to keep them from just taking ideas in use in your products and giving them to the competition if they should leave.

Cons:

High Salary

At least $106,843 for a yearly salary for a US Salesforce Quip developer. 

Company-Paid Benefits

Lots of startups, companies, and businesses are offering special benefits such as unlimited paid leave, unlimited coffee, free gym memberships, and much more to attract top talents. These are all costs that should be factored into hiring full-time developers. First, let’s take a look at some of the most basic company-paid benefits according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

  • Legally required benefits (Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance): 8.5%
  • Insurance (medical, dental, life): 7.6%
  • Paid Leave: 6.7%
  • Retirement and savings: 4.3%
  • Annual Bonus: 3.5%
  • Supplemental pay (overtime and premium): 2.6%
  • Employment training tax: 0.1% on first $7,000

Indirect Costs

What exactly are indirect costs? They’re overhead costs that contribute to the company’s day-to-day operations. Indirect costs can be divided into three broad categories: fringe benefits, overhead, and general & administrative (G&A). Companies spend an average of 25% and 18% of employees’ salaries on overhead and G&A.

In other words, a Salesforce Quip hired as a full-time employee would cost, in reality, $188,264.

In the United Kingdom, seniors take up to £78,5K a year. This is $94K annually. More affordable but still too expensive for many startups and SMBs.

Office Rent

A small reference point for you: renting an office in a city like New York costs, on average, $15K per employee and year.

 

Unstable Workloads

When working with in-house developers, you have to pay them even when there is no work to do.

Second option: Hire a Salesforce integration company

Software integration companies can be generalists or Salesforce Pure Player. They exist in different sizes, salesforce “Clouds’” specialties, and offer end-to-end Salesforce implementation services.

Pros:

Versatility

Can work on projects of any size and complexity

Internal pool of talents

Can mobilize different types of specialists: Business Analysts, Developers, Architects, QA specialists, etc. Doing their best to meet your requirements.

Market verticals specialization

They specialize in various market verticals

Project management office

Active management of the project and the deadlines

Point of contacts

Different contact persons to help you solve any problems: Project Manager, Solution Specialists, Account Manager, etc.

Cons:

Very expensive

(Very) expensive! For these companies to offer you decent Salesforce Quip developers, they need to run costly business operations (with full-time employees, training tax, compliance, sales development, tax, insurance, office rent, etc.).

No interest in small projects

Generally not interested in small projects.

Cannot start immediately

Cannot start a  project immediately: Need lead time to get ready.

Lack of flexibility

  • you cannot quickly start/pause/restart a project according to your needs.
  • Changes to projects’ scope or tasks sometimes take days to be enacted and sometimes result in extra “penalty” costs for you.
  • It is hard to stop doing business with them due to legal terms clients have to accept first to work with them.

Staff more people than needed

Tend to staff more people than needed for projects.

Rely themselves on freelancers

They rely on freelancers for many projects as they often lack senior and expert profiles in their team, leading to a more expensive bill for you to pay with sometimes difficulties integrating these freelancers with their teams.

Low expertise offshore talents

Some integrators sometimes offer offshore developers,  but although they are cheaper than their western colleagues, the quality of their expertise is (way) lower.

Third option: Salesforce recruitment firm

They became trendy these last years for companies willing to break free from draining relationships with integrators to find the right freelance Salesforce Quip developer.

Pros:

Existing database

They already have a database of contactable freelances

Faster

They will find candidates faster than you can.

Pre-screening

They pre-screen the candidates for you.
salesforce admin

Cons:

Limited screening

They generally don’t have Salesforce Quip necessary proficiency to screen the candidates seriously.

Not cheap

Not cheap: They apply a 10-30% markup on average on top of the already expensive western developers’ rate.

Limited pool of talents

Limited pool of available talents: Even if their addressable database of freelances might be significant, in reality, they offer you a limited set of candidates for your needs. Indeed all headhunting firms fight for the same freelances available on the national. Making the available ones more expensive.

Hard to get the best talents

Most sought-after freelances do not like working with headhunting firms as they consider they commoditize their expertise and reduce their rate.

No backup developer

Because of the business model, they cannot offer you a backup developer with the same skill set in case of a problem.

Fourth option: hire yourself through online freelancing platforms

When a company decides to find itself a Freelance Salesforce Quip developer, it mainly goes to online freelancing platforms like Upwork, People per hour, Truelancer, Guru, Hubstaff, etc.

Cheap

Cons:

Low prices do not equate to a high quality

Unfortunately, low prices do not equate to a high quality of work. Hiring a beginner or an underskilled Salesforce Quip contractor frequently happens on these platforms.

Time consuming

It is highly time-consuming to search for the ideal contractor, interview them, etc.

Lack of responsiveness

Lack of responsiveness of some contractors to your job request ( they sometimes don’t respond).

No talent vetting

None of the contractors registered on these platforms have been vetted.

Scam risks

Some fake contractors registered on these platforms are trying to scam businesses looking for freelances. Despite the fact it is not that frequent, it can happen.

No support

If you are not satisfied with the contractors hired, you will get no support from their customer support. All you can do is go through the same tedious hiring process to find a better profile.
