Why this seat is hard to fill.

US companies where remote only works if the professional writes clearly, uses the overlap, and keeps the work visible without constant supervision.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the remote project managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Anyone senior who has already made remote work is being kept, not released.
  • 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 written-update exercise that tests clarity, judgment, and ownership.
  • Live workflow review across calendar, task board, Slack, and client notes.
  • A context screen for how they communicate remotely, and how they hold up under pressure.

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.

  • You need timezone overlap with a senior remote professional.
  • Your remote team needs better written operating rhythm.
  • You want headhunted professionals, not a public freelancer marketplace.
  • You need someone physically in a US office.
  • You want overnight offshore coverage.
  • You are hiring for admin support rather than delivery ownership.

What they said after we placed them.

Curated from companies who hired through Vela and professionals we placed. Their words, not ours.

HireTalent gave us exactly what we needed. They found someone with all the qualifications we were looking for, and Andres has been a really strong addition to our team.
