Agency context

Built for agency work, not generic remote hiring.

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

Working-call vetting
  • 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.
AI month one
  • Team-level delivery summaries from task movement, call notes, and account context.
  • Process docs that make handoffs easier for future hires.
  • Risk briefs that help leadership manage exceptions instead of every task.

Every placement includes 4 live 1-on-1 AI instructor sessions in the first four weeks post-placement.
