I’ve applied for several jobs at SF and I really want to work for them. Is it appropriate to proactively reach out to a recruiter in LinkedIn for assistance? I was recently promoted to Director to create and head our new Salesforce Marketing Cloud CoE. I have 25+ years experience in Telco managing IT Implementations/Software Dev/Business Solutions working with developers, architects. Mostly serving as TPM and Business architect. How’s the best way to get my foot in the door?

Recently left them not long ago, hiring freeze currently. There’ll be roles popping up next few months. Most likely from Feb 23

I’m in a similar boat my friend. They are on a freeze for the next month or two. Once it’s lifted,
Getting an employee referral is a good way to properly get their attention. I too have reached out to recruiters on LinkedIn and I get nothing but Jon Cena level type ghosting.

Ideally with your background if you can get a referral (which many here will graciously offer to do) that should set you down on the right path.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone. Guess I need to be patient. I did reach out to my SF RVP and he said he'd put in a good word with the RVP of the area I'm looking at - but didn't want to do a referral b/c didn't want to look like 'poaching' from clients. I have other contacts I might reach out to for an official referral. Good luck to everyone else!

Let me know if you land a role! Would love to take your spot leading SFMC COE 🥸

They don’t even provide a computer or any other remote equipment for the completely remote position. Am I making a mistake? Also, can anyone chime in about being a 1099 employee?

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.
