Top 10 Reasons to Hire a Salesforce Developer with Plugg Tech

For many companies, Salesforce has become the backbone of sales, service, and customer success. The challenge is finding developers who can extend and customize the platform at the pace business demands.

That’s where Plugg Technologies comes in.

What Does a Salesforce Developer Do?

Salesforce Developers build, customize, and integrate applications on the Salesforce Platform. They use both declarative capabilities and code to implement business requirements, and they collaborate closely with admins and architects to deliver secure, scalable solutions. Salesforce’s Trailhead role guide highlights core skills such as low-code automation, data modeling, Apex, APIs, and CI/CD.

On the programmatic side, Apex powers server-side logic and integrations, while Lightning components drive modern user experiences. Salesforce’s official developer documentation remains the source of truth for Apex, Lightning, and APIs that connect Salesforce with external systems.

Why Companies Struggle to Hire Salesforce Developers

Hiring Salesforce talent in the U.S. remains challenging for several reasons. First, the range of skills required is unusually broad. A strong Salesforce Developer must combine Apex, Lightning, API integration, and data modeling expertise while also collaborating closely with administrators and architects. That combination narrows the available pool considerably.

Second, hiring cycles drag on as companies compete for the same talent. McKinsey research highlights that 60% of companies report difficulty filling key tech roles such as software engineers and data specialists, citing scarcity of tech talent and skills – a shortage felt acutely in the U.S. market. Even with competitive pay and flexible work models, many organizations cannot source Salesforce developers fast enough to meet project deadlines.

Finally, the cost of U.S.-based Salesforce developers compounds the issue. High salaries and turnover risks mean companies face steep replacement and retraining costs if a developer leaves. These pressures explain why more hiring managers are now expanding their search to nearshore markets, where certified Salesforce Developers in Latin America offer technical depth, cultural alignment, and more predictable costs.

Benefits of Hiring a Nearshore Salesforce Developer

Hiring a nearshore Salesforce Developer gives companies the speed and alignment they need without sacrificing quality.

  • Real-time collaboration. Nearshore talent works in overlapping U.S. time zones, so stand-ups, code reviews, and integrations happen the same day—not overnight.

  • Stronger communication. English-fluent developers who understand U.S. business norms reduce back-and-forth and keep projects moving.

  • Enterprise-ready skills. Nearshore Salesforce Developers are experienced with Apex, Lightning, integrations, testing, and CI/CD—often across multiple clouds.

  • Cost efficiency without the trade-offs. Teams gain senior capability at a more predictable cost, improving ROI on Salesforce transformation.

  • Faster onboarding. Less lag between interviews, offers, and first commits means initiatives hit milestones sooner.

  • Scalable capacity. Nearshore models make it easier to add a developer, pair with an admin, or stand up a small squad during peak delivery.

Bottom line: nearshore Salesforce development keeps communication tight, delivery fast, and budgets under control.
