Why this seat is hard to fill.

Digital agencies where client communication is too senior to hand to a coordinator and too constant to keep on the founder.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the agency account managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Every agency knows which of its people the clients would follow, and protects them accordingly.
  • We reach them by warm intro, prior-network referral, and a researched personal email. Never a job post, never a recruiter blast.
  • Eight active searches a month, so the outreach stays personal enough that someone with a job reads it.

How we check them.

  • A simulated client call with scope pressure, weak results, and a missing internal update.
  • Written follow-up quality: clear recap, next actions, owner names, and no filler.
  • Agency-context check: understanding retainers, churn risk, upsell timing, and channel constraints.

Want the hire trained to run AI in the seat? We offer that as a separate, optional bootcamp — priced on its own, never bundled into the placement fee.

We say no more often than we say yes.

  • Your best clients need senior communication, not more dashboard access.
  • Account ownership currently lives with the founder or delivery lead.
  • You want a headhunted professional who already understands agency client pressure.
  • You need a generic customer-support rep.
  • You want an active job-board pool.
  • You are unwilling to pay local senior-market compensation.

What they said after we placed them.

Curated from companies who hired through Vela and professionals we placed. Their words, not ours.

HireTalent gave us exactly what we needed. They found someone with all the qualifications we were looking for, and Andres has been a really strong addition to our team.
