Wisemonk can employ whoever you choose, decided at offer stage Meet Mira AI ## It reads the work, not the CV. Mira AI reads every Salesforce application through the work that actually shipped: what the person owned, the constraints they worked inside, and the evidence they can show for both. Every applicant is measured against the same scorecard, in the same way, on the day they apply. Reading applications as they land ### Proof beats a polished CV. You describe the Salesforce role and what success looks like in it, and Mira AI ranks each applicant with the reasoning written out in sentences you can read and disagree with. The people who rise are the ones whose work backs up the claim. A first read, never the final word. - Weighs work someone actually shipped above the tools listed on a CV - Every ranking carries the why, including the near-misses - Reads for judgement and communication alongside technical depth - Reorders the shortlist as new Salesforce applicants arrive ### You are implementing Salesforce for the first time Consultants and admins decide more here than Apex does. Process design is what determines whether the org is still usable in its second year. - Salesforce Consultants - Salesforce Administrators - Sales Cloud Consultants - Service Cloud Consultants - Business Analysts ### You are customising an org beyond what clicks allow This is where Apex, triggers and Lightning Web Components start earning their keep. Hire for code depth on the platform, not for badge count. - Salesforce Developers - Apex Developers - Lightning Developers - LWC Developers - Visualforce Developers ### You are connecting Salesforce to the rest of your stack Integration work fails on data models rather than on APIs. Look for someone who has mapped objects across systems before, not just called an endpoint. - Salesforce Integration Developers - MuleSoft Developers - Salesforce Architects - Data Migration Specialists ### You are running marketing, commerce or quoting on the platform These are separate products with separate skills. A strong Sales Cloud developer is not automatically a Marketing Cloud one. - Marketing Cloud Developers - Commerce Cloud Developers - CPQ Specialists - Pardot Specialists - Experience Cloud Developers Seniority ## Badges stack fast. Judgment does not. Writing the org scope into the scorecard filters far harder than asking for a certification count in the ad. ### Junior 0 to 2 years Works inside an existing org, building flows, reports and simple Apex under review. Usually one or two certifications and little production ownership. ### Mid-level 3 to 5 years Owns a feature or a single cloud end to end, from requirement to deployment. The deepest band in India and the quickest to fill. ### Senior 6 to 9 years Owns the data model and the release process, decides declarative versus code, and reviews other people's work. Notice is usually 60 to 90 days. ### Architect / Lead 10 years and up Sets org strategy across clouds and integrations, and has carried a multi-org or migration programme. A small pool, priced accordingly. Developer vs admin vs consultant ## Which Salesforce role you actually need. Most hiring mistakes on this platform are role mistakes rather than candidate mistakes. A rough guide before you write the brief. | Role | What they own | Certifications to expect | Hiring pool in India | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Salesforce Administrator | Users, permissions, flows, reports and data hygiene | Administrator, Advanced Administrator | Deepest of any Salesforce role | | Salesforce Developer | Apex, triggers, LWC, tests and everything past the click limit | Platform Developer I and II | Deep, concentrated in Hyderabad and Bengaluru | | Salesforce Consultant | Requirements, process design, rollout and user adoption | Sales Cloud or Service Cloud Consultant | Mid-sized, weighted towards services firms | | Salesforce Architect | Data model, integrations, multi-org strategy, technical debt | Application or System Architect, CTA | Small and priced at a premium | | Cloud specialist | One product in depth: Marketing, Commerce, CPQ or Field Service | Product-specific consultant or developer | Narrow per product, thin at senior level | What to screen for ## The lines worth putting in a Salesforce brief. Name the ones that matter for your org and every applicant is weighed against them the moment they apply. ### Declarative versus code Knowing when a flow is enough and when Apex is warranted. Writing code for something clicks already solve is the commonest waste of money on this platform. ### Governor limits Bulkified triggers, SOQL outside loops and async patterns. Code that passes on ten records and dies on ten thousand is the classic Salesforce failure. ### Data model and sharing Objects, relationships, sharing rules and field-level security. A tidy model early is what stops the org calcifying two years later. ### Integrations REST and SOAP APIs, platform events and middleware such as MuleSoft. Most Salesforce projects come apart at the seams with other systems, not inside the org. ### Release management Sandboxes, change sets, SFDX and CI. Teams still deploying by hand on a Friday afternoon are the teams with the outages. ### Apex testing Tests that assert real behaviour, rather than filler written to clear the 75% coverage gate the night before a deployment. Pricing ## Start with the tool. Add reach. Add people. Every plan includes Mira. What changes is how far your roles travel and how much of the work you hand over. ### Base Free forever For a team running its own hiring and tired of doing it in spreadsheets. - Full pipeline and candidate tracking - Your own hosted careers page - Mira in Slack, with monthly credits - Unlimited open roles [Create an account](https://talent.wisemonk.io/) ### Boost $100 /month For teams whose problem is candidate flow, not candidate tracking. - Everything in Base - Your roles listed on the Wisemonk talent community - Mira on the strongest models available - Uncapped screening and scheduling - Salary benchmarks from live India payroll data [Upgrade to Boost](https://talent.wisemonk.io/) ### Bespoke Contingent on a joined hire Some roles need a person on the phone.

Mira AI drafts the job description and a scorecard weighted to your org, the role reaches our candidate community, and every application is scored against it as it arrives. You interview the ranked shortlist, and when you are ready to offer, Wisemonk employs the person on your behalf, so no Indian entity is required. **Should I hire a Salesforce admin, developer or consultant?** Start from what is actually broken. If users are fighting the org day to day, that is an administrator. If you have hit the limit of what clicks can do, that is a developer. If the process itself is wrong and needs redesigning with the business, that is a consultant. Many teams hire a developer when an experienced admin would have solved the problem for less, so write the work into the brief before you pick a title. **How much does it cost to hire a Salesforce developer in India?** It depends on seniority, the clouds involved and the city. A mid-level Apex developer costs less than a senior one who owns the data model and the release process, and architects sit well above both. Bands also shift between Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Pune and smaller hubs. When you open a role we check your band against our own payroll data for Salesforce talent and tell you before it goes live whether it will fill. Statutory employer costs such as provident fund and gratuity are added on top of the salary, and Wisemonk carries them as the legal employer. **Do I need certified Salesforce developers?** Certifications are useful as a filter and worthless as a finish line. Platform Developer I tells you someone has learned the syntax; it does not tell you they have bulkified a trigger under load or survived a migration. Ask for the certifications that match the cloud you run, then screen on the org work behind them. Mira AI weighs both, and says which one carried the score. **Which Salesforce clouds can I hire for in India?** Sales Cloud and Service Cloud have the deepest pools by a distance, followed by Marketing Cloud and Experience Cloud. Commerce Cloud, CPQ, Field Service and Health Cloud are narrower, and thin at senior level, so expect those searches to take longer. MuleSoft, Tableau CRM and Nonprofit Cloud can all be opened the same way; the scorecard is built from your brief, not from a fixed list. **Can Salesforce developers in India work US or UK hours?** A working overlap with the UK and Europe is the default and rarely negotiated. Full US-hours shifts draw from a smaller pool, so set the overlap you need when you open the role and only candidates who accept it will apply. Consulting-background Salesforce talent is often the most used to working someone else's hours. **How do you check a Salesforce developer's real platform depth?** Mira AI scores each application against the scorecard you wrote, which for Salesforce usually means named clouds, years on the platform, the size of the orgs they have worked in and whether they have written production Apex. Every score comes with the reasoning. You still run your own rounds, and the workspace keeps the configuration exercise, code review notes and team scorecards on one thread. **Do I need an entity in India to employ a Salesforce developer?** No. Wisemonk becomes the legal employer, holds the contract, runs payroll and handles provident fund, gratuity, ESI and income tax withholding. You direct the work day to day. If you already have an Indian entity you can employ the person on it instead, and that is decided at offer stage rather than when you open the role. **Why do Salesforce hires often take longer than other engineering hires?** Two reasons. Senior Salesforce talent in India sits mostly inside consulting and services firms, where 60 to 90 day notice periods are the norm rather than the exception. And the pool narrows sharply once you name a specific cloud. Setting the notice period you can live with, and being honest about which certifications are genuinely required, are the two levers that widen the pool most. **What is the difference between a Salesforce developer and an architect?** A developer builds inside decisions that have already been made: Apex, Lightning Web Components, tests and integrations against an agreed data model. An architect makes those decisions, across clouds, orgs and the systems Salesforce has to talk to, and answers for them when they turn out wrong. If your data model is already settled, hire a developer. If it is not, hiring a developer first usually means rebuilding later. **Does Mira AI work in Slack?** Yes. Mira posts candidate updates into Slack as they happen and answers questions there in plain language — who applied, where a role stands, what is waiting on whom. A weekly digest names the roles that have gone quiet. Hiring managers and interviewers can follow a search without ever opening the workspace. **How do you know what the salary should be?** From our own payroll. Wisemonk pays over 2,000 employees in India, so the benchmark behind your role is what people in that specialism and city are actually being paid this month, not a published survey. Mira checks your band against it before the role goes live and tells you if it will not fill. **What does Mira AI do after the shortlist?** Candidates book themselves into your panel's availability, and your meeting note-taker captures the interview. Mira AI keeps everything with the role and flags which scorecards are still outstanding, so a decision is never waiting on someone who forgot. **Do I pay for candidates I found myself?** No. A candidate already in your ATS, or who came from your careers page, a referral or another job board, stays yours. They are scored against the same scorecard as ours and carry no fee. A fee applies only to candidates our recruiters or our community bring you. **Does Mira AI actually call candidates?** Yes. Upload the job description and Mira AI suggests a set of screening questions, which you can use as they are or edit. It then phones candidates, tells each one at the start that they are speaking to an AI, and asks what you set. The call is recorded and you can read the transcript on the candidate's profile, alongside how their application scored. ## Find your next Salesforce hire in India.
