Platform depth · Microsoft

Microsoft specialists, by module.

62 contractor roles across 10 Microsoft modules. Most firms in this market treat enterprise platforms as one line in a profession list. This is what the depth actually looks like.

  • Depth, not a line item

    Microsoft by module, not as one entry on a list

    Most firms in this market organise by profession and treat enterprise platforms as a single line. We publish the modules and the roles inside each one, so you can see whether the depth is real before you brief us.

    10Microsoft modules covered

  • Screened by specialists

    Read by someone who has run the programme

    A specialist desk screens for implementation depth and delivery risk, never keyword match, and the reasons the others were rejected come attached to the shortlist.

    2:1CVs per interview

  • Terms in writing

    Four ways to contract, one screening standard

    Contract, Permanent, Employer of Record or Managed Delivery. The work is the same; what changes is who carries the contract, the visa and the notice period.

    80%Contracts renewed

  • In region, at pace

    Placed into Retail & Consumer and Education & Universities programmes

    Four entities across London, Dubai, Riyadh and Bengaluru, so a specialist can start on your paper or ours without an entity of your own.

The problem

Microsoft is not one bench. It is four, and most shortlists quietly assume it is one.

Azure infrastructure, Dynamics 365, Power Platform and the Copilot layer share a vendor and very little else. The engineer who builds a landing zone and the consultant who configures Finance and Operations are not interchangeable, and neither is a substitute for the person who has governed a Power Platform estate that grew without anyone watching.

That last one is the quiet problem. Power Platform arrives through the business rather than through IT, so by the time somebody owns it there are hundreds of apps and flows and no environment strategy. Staffing it needs an administrator who has cleaned one up, which is a different hire from a maker.

We publish the desks separately for that reason. A single Microsoft rate card and a single Microsoft shortlist is how a programme ends up with a competent person in the wrong seat.

Hard to fill

The Microsoft roles that are scarce, and why.

The Azure certification population is large. The population that has run the thing in production, at cost, under a security review, is not.

X++ Developer
A specialised language with a shrinking pool and no adjacent skill that substitutes for it. Every Finance and Operations programme needs one, and they are booked well ahead.
Microsoft Entra ID Engineer
Identity is where a migration stalls, and the estate is usually hybrid, half-documented and load-bearing. Engineers who have cut over an identity estate rather than extended one are rare.
Data Migration Specialist, DMF
Treated as a technical task until the first entity refuses to load cleanly. The people who have owned it end to end, including the business decisions about what to correct, are few.
Power Platform Administrator
The role almost nobody staffs until the estate is already sprawling. Governance, environment strategy and licence control are a discipline, and very few people have practised it on a live tenant.
Dual-write Integration Developer
Sits between Finance and Operations and the Dataverse side, so it needs both, and failures surface as data problems rather than as integration errors. That diagnostic experience is the scarce part.
Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer
New enough that genuine production experience is thin, and often confused with Synapse or Power BI experience on a CV. Ask what they migrated and what broke.

Which programme are you running

Four Microsoft estates, and they take different people.

Naming which one you are running is the fastest way to get a relevant shortlist.

Azure platform build and migration

Landing zones, migration waves and the run model afterwards. An infrastructure and platform bench, with security engaged from the design rather than at the review.

Dynamics 365 implementation

Finance and Operations, Customer Engagement or Business Central. A functional and X++ bench, and closer to an ERP programme than to anything else on this page.

Power Platform at scale

Usually a governance problem before it is a build problem. Needs an administrator and a solution architect before it needs more makers.

Copilot readiness

Mostly information governance work wearing an AI label. The blocker is nearly always permissions and data sprawl, so the first hire is a Purview specialist rather than a developer.
