Why this seat is hard to fill.

US companies where nearshore hiring has to protect quality, working-hour overlap, and client trust at the same time.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the project managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. The strongest ones were hired away from local agencies years ago and have not looked since.
  • 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 working-call simulation around timeline risk and client communication.
  • English clarity check across live conversation and written follow-up.
  • Reference checks with the people who actually managed them, run the same way we check references for our own team.

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 nearshore overlap without dropping seniority.
  • Your delivery seat needs someone who has held it before, not general operations.
  • You care more about retained clients than cheap coverage.
  • You are shopping for the lowest hourly rate.
  • You want a broad staffing bench.
  • You need a one-week temp contractor.

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.
