I am more than pleased with our experience with Toptal. The professional I got to work with was on the phone with me within a couple of hours. I knew after discussing my project with him that he was the candidate I wanted. I hired him immediately and he wasted no time in getting to my project, even going the extra mile by adding some great design elements that enhanced our overall look.

Toptal understood our project needs immediately. We were matched with an exceptional freelancer from Argentina who, from Day 1, immersed himself in our industry, blended seamlessly with our team, understood our vision, and produced top-notch results.

Capabilities of Salesforce Developers

Enhance your business operations and customer relationships by partnering with our dedicated Salesforce developers to build custom applications, automate workflows, and extend the platform’s functionality with third-party integrations.

Custom Salesforce Development

Salesforce offers robust out-of-the-box features, but specific business needs often demand tailor-made solutions. Toptal Salesforce developers are experts at extending the platform’s functionality to streamline business processes and adapt to changing requirements, setting your organization apart from competitors.

Lightning Development

Salesforce’s Lightning Component framework is a collection of UI tools that allows developers to rapidly create intuitive and highly interactive single-page web applications. Toptal developers leverage their in-depth knowledge of the framework’s component-based architecture to build and integrate reusable units of code, promoting consistency and reducing maintenance efforts.

Apex and Visualforce Development

Apex (a programming language for writing custom business logic) and Visualforce (a framework for building complex user interfaces) are essential tools for comprehensive Salesforce customization. Our developers are experienced in using these technologies to build made-to-measure, full-stack solutions.

Third-party Integration

Integrating Salesforce with other enterprise solutions, such as ERP and marketing automation systems, empowers organizations to create more robust and versatile Salesforce environments. By unifying operations and ensuring efficient data management and synchronization, Toptal developers help your organization derive maximum benefit from the Salesforce platform.

Salesforce AppExchange App Development

Salesforce AppExchange is a marketplace where developers can list and distribute ready-to-install applications and extensions, such as productivity tools, analytics and reporting tools, and CRM systems. Toptal developers have extensive experience developing and deploying market-ready custom apps on AppExchange to generate revenue while diversifying the Salesforce ecosystem.

Data Migration and Management

When transitioning from legacy systems or other CRM platforms, maintaining data accuracy and integrity is paramount. Our Salesforce developers are adept at transferring data securely without loss or corruption and managing data effectively to provide ready access to the information you need.

Automation and Workflow Solutions

Automating complicated business processes minimizes the risk of human error, increases productivity and scalability, and generates real-time data to inform decision-making. Toptal developers implement custom Apex triggers and use Salesforce’s built-in automation tools like Flow to provide your organization with these key strategic advantages.

Custom Reporting and Dashboards

Transforming raw data into actionable insights in real time requires a great deal of expertise. Toptal Salesforce developers specialize in creating custom reports and dashboards to improve data visibility, identify trends, tailor analytics to your performance metrics, and monitor progress toward specific business objectives.

Security and Compliance

Mitigating the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks is critical to establishing trust, ensuring business continuity, and meeting compliance standards like HIPAA and GDPR. Our Salesforce developers safeguard users’ privacy and your organization’s reputation through robust security measures like data encryption, access controls, and multi-factor authentication.

Ongoing Support and Maintenance

Because business needs constantly evolve, continuous support and maintenance are necessary to keep your Salesforce org up to date and secure. Toptal developers protect your system’s reliability by optimizing performance, prioritizing preventive maintenance, and making iterative improvements to respond to user feedback and keep up with changing demands.

FAQs

  • How much does it cost to hire a Salesforce developer?

    The cost associated with hiring a Salesforce developer depends on various factors, including preferred talent location, complexity and size of the project you’re hiring for, seniority, engagement commitment (hourly, part-time, or full-time), and more. In the US, for example, Glassdoor’s reported average total annual pay for Salesforce developers is $133,000 as of August 2024. With Toptal, you can speak with an expert talent matcher who will help you understand the cost of talent with the right skills and seniority level for your needs. To get started, schedule a call with us — it’s free, and there’s no obligation to hire with Toptal.

  • Typically, you can hire a Salesforce developer with Toptal in about 48 hours. For larger teams of talent or Managed Delivery, timelines may vary. Our talent matchers are highly skilled in the same fields they’re matching in—they’re not recruiters or HR reps. They’ll work with you to understand your goals, technical needs, and team dynamics, and match you with ideal candidates from our vetted global talent network.

    Once you select your Salesforce developer, you’ll have a no-risk trial period to ensure they’re the perfect fit. Our matching process has a 98% trial-to-hire rate, so you can rest assured that you’re getting the best fit every time.

  • To hire the right Salesforce developer, it’s important to evaluate a candidate’s experience, technical skills, and communication skills. You’ll also want to consider the fit with your particular industry, company, and project. Toptal’s rigorous screening process ensures that every member of our network has excellent experience and skills, and our team will match you with the perfect Salesforce developers for your project.

  • At Toptal, we thoroughly screen our Salesforce developers to ensure we only match you with the highest caliber of talent. Of the more than 200,000 people who apply to join the Toptal network each year, fewer than 3% make the cut.

    In addition to screening for industry-leading expertise, we also assess candidates’ language and interpersonal skills to ensure that you have a smooth working relationship.

    When you hire with Toptal, you’ll always work with world-class, custom-matched Salesforce developers ready to help you achieve your goals.

  • You can hire Salesforce developers on an hourly, part-time, or full-time basis. Toptal can also manage the entire project from end-to-end with our Managed Delivery offering. Whether you hire an expert for a full- or part-time position, you’ll have the control and flexibility to scale your team up or down as your needs evolve. Our Salesforce developers can fully integrate into your existing team for a seamless working experience.

  • We make sure that each engagement between you and your Salesforce developer begins with a trial period of up to two weeks. This means that you have time to confirm the engagement will be successful. If you’re completely satisfied with the results, we’ll bill you for the time and continue the engagement for as long as you’d like. If you’re not completely satisfied, you won’t be billed. From there, we can either part ways, or we can provide you with another expert who may be a better fit and with whom we will begin a second, no-risk trial.
