Nearshore digital agency professionals, headhunted from Latin America.

Vela headhunts digital agency 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.

Digital agency work breaks when remote hiring fills the seat but misses ownership. Vela searches for professionals who already understand account pressure across paid, SEO, creative, lifecycle, and full-service delivery.

  • Owns agency work with enough overlap for same-day decisions and client calls.
  • Connects channel movement to account-level communication and next steps.
  • Protects client trust without adding another US salary line.

How we find and vet them.

Every search starts with the digital agency professionals who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. The ones who can carry an account are carrying one right now.

  • We reach them by warm intro, prior-network referral, and a researched personal email. Never a job post, never a recruiter blast.
  • A live account scenario with mixed performance, a delivery blocker, and a client asking for clarity.
  • Tool familiarity across project boards, dashboards, Slack, Google Workspace, and reporting surfaces.
  • A written exercise: turning messy account context into useful output without inventing facts.
  • 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 need nearshore professionals integrated into your agency rhythm.

  • You want professionals already working inside agencies.

Not the right fit when

  • You need generic offshore coverage.
  • You want unmanaged marketplace profiles.
  • You are not ready to define the seat clearly.
“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.”
