About Kandice Ford

I work at the intersection of technical recruiting, hiring systems, and execution. My focus is simple. Build pipelines that convert and processes that hiring managers actually trust.I am a full cycle technical recruiter with over five years of experience supporting remote and distributed teams across technical, GTM, and consulting environments. My work centers on roles where clarity, signal, and speed matter, especially within the Salesforce ecosystem. I have recruited for Technical and Solution Architects, Implementation Consultants, Data Migration and Integration specialists, and senior Salesforce aligned roles across Revenue Cloud, CPQ and Billing, Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, MuleSoft, and NetSuite.I partner closely with hiring managers to clarify role scope, forecast team needs, and design hiring strategies that support long term growth. I source and engage passive candidates, run structured screens, and guide interview and offer processes end to end. Along the way, I have built tools such as job requisition audits and technical candidate assessments to improve alignment, reduce noise, and raise the quality of hiring decisions.I am strongest in environments where hiring is scaling faster than process. I bring structure to ambiguous roles, discipline to sourcing, and consistency to candidate experience. I care deeply about equitable hiring, clear communication, and building systems that scale without burning out teams or candidates.
