For environments where one plugin can slow down real order volume
Hire Dynamics 365 Developers
A Dynamics 365 environment rarely fails all at once; it degrades through small customization decisions. A plugin that runs synchronously where it shouldn't, a customization built where configuration would hold up better, or a migration that skips validating relationships can each cost real orders. These engineers are tested on catching exactly that kind of decision, then placed inside the environment you already run.
- Profiles typically within two business days
- Replacement Assurance: If an engineer is not the right fit, a replacement from our own team starts within ten business days of your request, at no extra cost
- You interview before placement if you want to
- At least four hours a day inside your core working hours. Two hours plus a daily written handover for the US West Coast
- 14-Day Risk-Free Trial: For your first engineer on a time-and-materials engagement. Up to 14 calendar days or 80 logged working hours, whichever comes first. End within the trial and pay nothing for trial hours. Continue beyond it and those hours are billed at the agreed rate. Unpaid trial work remains ours if you stop
How we evaluate a Dynamics 365 engineer
The tasks, the signals and the onboarding, walked through by the people who run them.
90 secSample frame · video pending01Published, not promised
The assessment behind every Dynamics 365 engineer we send.
Five competencies make up this bar, each paired with a real task and the signal that separates strong judgement from a plausible answer. A certification exam does not factor into this scoring. What factors in is whether a customization survives real transaction volume.
What we listen forWhether they design within the sandbox's execution limits, not discover the timeout in production.
A plugin that worked in development starts timing out intermittently once real transaction volume hits production. Diagnose it.
- What strong sounds like
- Checks for synchronous execution doing unnecessary work inside the plugin and proposes moving non-critical logic to async or a background job.
- What gives us pause
- Increases retry attempts on the failing plugin without examining whether it should be running synchronously at all.

02Who you actually meet
The bench, priced by seniority.
Three seniority tiers, priced honestly, and the engineers who fill each one today. Real names and photos take their place as soon as we can share them, and the standard stays exactly the same.
Engineer
Features scoped tightly enough to ship inside your review bar, every time.
The right first hire when your seniors already set the standard.
$2,200–2,900per month
Senior
The hard module nobody else wants to own, taken end to end.
Ownership of a surface, without adding a manager to your headcount.
$3,100–3,900per month
Lead
The workstream's decisions, made daily, so nothing waits on a meeting.
One accountable voice for a pod or initiative that can't afford to drift.
$4,200–5,300per month

03From stated problem to first change
Four steps, each closing on evidence.
This process checks for real customization judgement, not just module knowledge. You can end it at any step, free of charge.
Name the customization problem
We map where your Dynamics environment is under real strain, whether that's plugin performance, security-role sprawl or a fragile migration. The brief names that exact gap, not a list of modules to know.
A brief your CRM lead signs off onMatch against your environment
Candidates are screened against your actual customizations, your data model and your release process. Three engineers who understand your environment beat thirty who simply list Dynamics as a skill.
Three fits, not thirty resumesAssess on real customization tasks
Your team can watch the plugin-performance and security-role exercises directly. What shows up is customization judgement, not a certification recited from memory.
An evaluation you can watchOnboard into your release pipeline
Environment access, coding standards and a first scoped change through your actual deployment pipeline. Continuity cover keeps a departure from ever stalling a release.

04Evidence and proof
Engineers who kept customizations safe under real volume.
Dynamics 365 proof is a plugin that holds under real transaction volume, not a certification claimed on a resume. Every record here waits for written client approval before production.
Explore case studies
A plugin rebuilt for real transaction volume before it failed customers.
Aster North's order-processing plugin worked in every sandbox test but began timing out once real transaction volume hit production. An embedded Dynamics 365 engineer moved the non-critical logic to an asynchronous job, and the timeouts stopped.
- Plugin timeouts
- Eliminated
- Time to diagnose
- Three days
The plugin timeouts that used to hit us during peak order volume simply stopped after he rebuilt it.

05Three shapes, one standard
Add an engineer, a CRM pod, or a practice.
Most teams start with one engineer working inside an existing Dynamics environment. Some need a pod that owns a customization domain end to end. Where a broader platform rebuild is the actual need, we point you to enterprise platforms instead.
- Team extension
One named engineer
A single Dynamics 365 specialist working inside your release process and your review standards. The lightest commitment, and the usual starting point.
- Delivery pods
A CRM pod
A pod with its own lead that owns a customization domain end to end, from design through deployment. You set priorities while the pod carries delivery.
- Enterprise Platforms
The practice, not the person
Where a broader platform rebuild is the actual need rather than one role filled, our enterprise platforms practice takes that scope on instead.
06Straight answers
Asked before a Dynamics 365 hire is signed.
01What does a Dynamics 365 engineer actually do day to day?
Writes plugins that perform inside sandboxed execution limits, decides when a requirement needs customization versus configuration, and keeps data migrations between environments clean. Most of the job is judgement a certification exam skips entirely.
02Do you hire for Dynamics 365 CE, F&O, or both?
Matched to your deployment, whether that's Customer Engagement, Finance and Operations or a combined environment. The evaluation centres on customization judgement that applies across both.
03Can we run our own interviews as well?
Certainly. The security-role design task travels well into a client's own process, and a number of teams now run it directly.
04How fast can a Dynamics 365 engineer start?
A shortlist typically lands within a week because the bench is evaluated on an ongoing basis, not assembled after your request arrives. Environment access on your end sets the pace from that point.
05Who manages the engineer day to day?
Your CRM or ERP lead sets the roadmap and reviews every customization before release. We stay responsible for payroll, bench backup and swapping in a replacement if the arrangement stops working.
06What if the engineer is not the right fit?
A mismatch spotted in the first weeks gets a funded replacement, no argument needed. We carry the specifics forward so the same gap doesn't reappear with the next engineer.
07Do your Dynamics 365 engineers use AI tools?
Yes, for generating plugin boilerplate and test data scripts quickly. Every decision about customization versus configuration is still made and owned by the engineer.
08How does pricing work for a hired Dynamics 365 engineer?
Consider the range above indicative rather than final; scope and seniority set the actual monthly rate once a shortlist is agreed. There's no placement fee, and the engagement ends on a simple notice period.
