Why this seat is hard to fill.

A nearshore delivery team works when the first senior seats create operating rhythm for everyone else. Vela starts with professionals who can own client-facing delivery, not anonymous bench capacity.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the senior delivery professionals who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. A first hire this important is never the person who happened to be available.
  • 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 delivery-team scenario with overdue work, scattered ownership, and client pressure.
  • Written update screen for clear internal and client-facing communication.
  • Agency-context check around staffing sequence, management load, and account risk.

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.

  • You want to build a LATAM team without making the first hire too junior.
  • Your agency needs senior ownership before more execution capacity.
  • You want a placement model, not a managed offshore team.
  • You need ten people next week.
  • You want Vela to manage the team after placement.
  • You are not ready to put a senior professional in charge of real delivery.
