Nearshore professionals for SEO agencies, headhunted from Latin America.
Vela headhunts SEO 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.
SEO accounts create pressure around ranking movement, content delivery, technical blockers, link velocity, and slow client patience. Nearshore works when the professional can use US working-hour overlap to keep clients clear while the work compounds.
- Owns client communication across audits, content plans, technical tickets, rank movement, and reporting.
- Turns visibility changes, client notes, and internal movement into clear next actions.
- Keeps SEO delivery visible without forcing a US strategist to write every update.
How we find and vet them.
Every search starts with the SEO agency professionals who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. SEO results take months to prove, so the people who can prove them have long tenure and no reason to browse listings.
- We reach them by warm intro, prior-network referral, and a researched personal email. Never a job post, never a recruiter blast.
- A live working-call exercise around delayed content, a technical blocker, and a client asking what changed.
- Tool familiarity across Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, GA4, and project boards.
- A written exercise: turning messy SEO context into client-ready 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.
