Why this seat is hard to fill.

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.

How we reach 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.
  • 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 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.

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.

  • Your SEO agency needs nearshore client-facing ownership.
  • Clients need clearer communication around slow-moving SEO work.
  • You want a currently-employed professional headhunted from agency context.
  • You need a link builder only.
  • You want generic offshore SEO task coverage.
  • You are not ready to give the professional client context.
