Power Platform
Power Apps, Power BI, Power Automate and Copilot Studio specialists who turn low-code into business impact.
Overview
The Microsoft Power Platform is one of the fastest-growing skill markets in technology. We place Power Apps makers, Power BI developers, Power Automate specialists and Power Platform solution architects with organisations building modern, automated, data-driven operations.
What does the Power Platform talent market look like in 2026?
The Microsoft Power Platform remains one of the fastest-growing skill markets in technology. As organisations push low-code adoption beyond pilots into governed, enterprise-scale programmes, the profile of talent in demand has changed: employers no longer just need citizen-developer enthusiasm, they need makers and architects who understand Dataverse design, ALM, environment strategy and security. The arrival of Copilot Studio has added a new wave of demand for conversational AI builders inside the Microsoft stack.
Strong Power Platform solution architects are now among the hardest profiles to secure in the entire Microsoft ecosystem, and experienced Power BI developers with enterprise semantic-model experience are consistently in short supply.
Which Power Platform roles do we place?
We place Power Apps makers and developers (canvas and model-driven), Power BI developers, analysts and analytics engineers, Power Automate and process automation specialists, Copilot Studio and conversational AI builders, Dataverse specialists, and Power Platform solution architects and centre-of-excellence leads — for both Microsoft partners and end-user organisations.
How much do Power Platform professionals earn?
In 2026, Power Platform developers typically earn £45,000–£65,000 in the UK, $95,000–$130,000 in the USA and AU$100,000–AU$140,000 in Australia. Power BI developers earn £40,000–£60,000 (UK) and $90,000–$120,000 (USA), with UK contract rates of roughly £350–£500 per day. Power Platform solution architects command £75,000–£110,000 in the UK and $140,000–$180,000 in the USA.
Why hire through a Power Platform recruitment specialist?
Because the Power Platform market is young and fast-moving, CVs are hard to judge: certifications are easy to obtain, but governed enterprise delivery experience is rare. Our consultants recruit exclusively in this space and screen for the things that matter — Dataverse data modelling, ALM discipline, real adoption numbers. We maintain live pools of pre-screened makers, developers and architects, and typically deliver a shortlist within 48 hours to 5 working days.
