Agency context

Built for agency work, not generic remote hiring.

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

Working-call vetting
  • 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.
  • Prompt judgment for turning messy account context into useful output without inventing facts.
AI month one
  • Weekly account recaps from project movement, call notes, and reporting data.
  • Internal risk briefs that separate facts, causes, and next decisions.
  • Documented workflow improvements for recurring agency operating moments.

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