Over the past few years, some amazing things have happened. We’ve seen the birth of cloud computing and mobile computing. We witnessed the rise and growth of SaaS models and entire ecosystems of startups emerge. It’s a battle for sustainability out there.

It’s crazy, and it’s competitive.

So, we saw tons of software vendors, specialist software development companies, large companies building software in-house, thousands of startups, and of course plenty of SaaS startups.

Of particular interest to us, however, are many of these CRM companies and AX (Microsoft Dynamics Companies). Each of these companies is not only engaged in a battle for growth and profitability but also for the same set of available resources. Most of these businesses are really good with customer acquisitions. They manage to roll out, get the first few paying clients, and even grow to a certain point.

Somewhere, along the way, they all fight, compete and literally get into “girl fights” over the same set of resources. Meanwhile, they all have a need to scale.

They have to grow, and they have to grow quick. Because of the need for speed, however, a few very expensive hiring mistakes are inevitably made.

The major pain point, typical for many companies in the Microsoft Dynamics Sector, is the hiring. It’s not surprising because really good senior developers worth their weight in gold are not easy to find. The pay scales aren’t helping either.

Consider this: for developers who specialize in Microsoft Dynamics, the average salary hovers around 80,000 DKK per month. Even if you take an average of 50,000 DKK per month, you can see how hard it is to earn any money as a senior developer.

Simply put, you won’t find good talent for those prices. On the other hand, you can’t afford to pay too much to justify your budget.

To find the sweet spot in the middle ground, you’d typically have to do the following:

• Invest massive sums of money into overall branding, PR, and human resources to attract the best talent.
• As every resource managers or HR managers who typically deal with large numbers in recruitment, it’s extremely hard to squeeze out billable-hours out of every developer, for every working hour.
• It gets harder to meet growth expectations, capacity fulfillment, and chart out expansion plans with the rest of the board members or with your own management teams.

Hiring is hard. That’s why we believe that you shouldn’t sweat too much about it. Instead, find a vendor like us (and it’s a shameless plug). We bring capability, manpower, experience, and tons of resources to the table. We help you create strategies by tapping into the power of custom solutions, global delivery, and global workforce to help solve your issue with resources.

With the major tasks off your shoulders, you can now lay a plan to hit your growth rate. You can bring down the average cost per employee from 55,000 DKK to 35,000 DKK per month. Your growth is now faster. You spend less. You make more, and fast ROI is proven.

Don’t fight a battle you can’t win. Instead, team up and see how you can utilize senior manpower that’s globally dispersed. Then you will win the battle!
