Nearshore staffing for marketing agencies, without the job-board pool.

Vela headhunts currently-employed agency professionals in Latin America for US marketing agencies, recruited the way we hire for our own team. The search is built for professionals already working inside agencies, not the active job-board pool.

Agency context

Built for agency work, not generic remote hiring.

Nearshore staffing only works when the professional can carry agency pressure inside US working hours. Vela searches for currently-employed professionals who already understand retainers, reporting, scope, and client expectations.

Working-call vetting
  • A live working-call exercise around a messy account, unclear owners, and a client waiting for direction.
  • English clarity screen across live conversation and written follow-up.
  • Agency-context check across retainers, reporting, project boards, and client pressure.
Optional AI bootcamp
  • Client-ready updates from call notes, task movement, and reporting context.
  • Delivery-risk summaries that flag account issues before the client escalates.
  • Workflow documentation from the professional's first four weeks back to the team.

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.

Fit check

We say no more often than yes.

// For
  • You want nearshore overlap without lowering the bar on senior ownership.
  • Your agency needs professionals who understand client-facing delivery.
  • You want a narrow headhunt, not a broad remote staffing bench.
// Not for
  • You are shopping for the lowest hourly rate.
  • You need a temp contractor for one campaign.
  • You expect a job post to reach the same professionals Vela headhunts.
