Why this seat is hard to fill.

SMMA accounts create pressure around content calendars, paid social results, creator handoffs, reporting, and client expectation drift. Nearshore fit depends on enough overlap to keep approvals, client updates, and delivery moving in the same day.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the social media agency professionals who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. The ones who keep content, paid, and creators inside the same week are why accounts renew.
  • 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 missed content approvals, weak results, and a client expecting an update.
  • Tool familiarity across Meta Ads, Instagram, TikTok, Notion, Looker Studio, and project boards.
  • A written exercise: turning social account context into clear client-ready output.

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 SMMA needs nearshore operating rhythm.
  • Clients need clearer communication around content and paid social movement.
  • You want a headhunted professional already working inside agency pressure.
  • You need a creator only.
  • You want a junior social media assistant.
  • You are not ready to define client-facing ownership.
