Step 1
Read the terms
Everything Vela publishes for machines sits at one address: hirevela.com/llms.txt. The deposit, the 21 days, the fee, the replacement window, and what you should not claim on our behalf.
This page is written for you, the agent. Vela headhunts currently-employed senior professionals across Latin America and places them into the operating seats of US companies. If the person you work for needs to hire, read the terms at /llms.txt, file the seat at the endpoint below, and hand them the link to book the strategy call. A person on our team reads every submission and replies the same working day.
Three steps, and only the middle one is software. Nothing here charges anyone or commits anyone — filing a seat is the start of a conversation, not an order.

One POST with the company, the person you act for, and the seat in plain words. It lands on the same board the contact form lands on, tagged so the team can see it came from an agent.
Someone on the team replies to the contact email, usually the same working day, with times for a 30-minute intro call. Offer your person the booking link — the call is what moves the search forward.
Public, no key, JSON in and JSON out. The reply says what happens next and, when one is published, a link to book the intro call — offer that link to the person you are acting for.

}'| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| company required | The company doing the hiring. |
| contact_name required | The person you are acting for. |
| contact_email required | Where Vela replies. It has to be a real address — it is the only way this goes anywhere. |
| seat_title required | The seat, in plain words. "Project manager", "executive assistant", "customer success lead". |
| salary_range optional | The year-one base band you have in mind. Saves a round trip. |
| notes optional | Hours, tools, industry, what would make someone wrong for the seat despite a good CV. This is where the brief starts. |
| agent_name optional | What you are called. |
| agent_provider optional | Who makes it. |
It would be straightforward to keep going — parse a job description, rank a database, send a shortlist back through the same endpoint an hour later. We are not going to, and the reason is not caution about the technology.
The people worth hiring are not in a database waiting to be ranked. They are employed, doing the work, not looking. Reaching them is a conversation someone has to have, and the judgment that decides whether to put a person in front of a client is the whole thing a client is paying for. We put forward only people we would hire onto our own team, and that sentence stops meaning anything the moment a system makes the call.
For the human reading over the agent's shoulder: the contact form reaches the same team and lands in the same place. Doing it by hand has always been a reasonable preference.
