Build a nearshore agency delivery team one senior seat at a time.
Vela headhunts agency delivery professionals who already have the job, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires and Mexico City. AI-ready, vetted on a live working interview, introduced three at a time.
What the seat owns.
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.
- Owns the senior delivery rhythm before the agency adds more execution capacity.
- Keeps internal work, client communication, and reporting connected.
- Creates enough structure for later junior hires to succeed.
How we find and vet 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.
- 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.
- They already use AI in the work they do every day. We check it on the working interview; it is not an add-on to the fee.

Is it the right hire?
A good fit when
- 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.
Not the right fit when
- 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.
“For one role, we ended up hiring the very first candidate that we were introduced to, and we absolutely love her. I was very impressed with the speed and quality.”
