Why this seat is hard to fill.

Nearshore staffing only works when the professional can carry agency pressure inside US working hours. Vela searches for currently-employed professionals who already understand retainers, reporting, scope, and client expectations.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the agency professionals who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Everyone who answers a nearshore job post is available. The people worth hiring are not.
  • 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 live working-call exercise around a messy account, unclear owners, and a client waiting for direction.
  • English clarity screen across live conversation and written follow-up.
  • Agency-context check across retainers, reporting, project boards, and client pressure.

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 lowering the bar on senior ownership.
  • Your agency needs professionals who understand client-facing delivery.
  • You want a narrow headhunt, not a broad remote staffing bench.
  • You are shopping for the lowest hourly rate.
  • You need a temp contractor for one campaign.
  • You expect a job post to reach the same professionals Vela headhunts.
