The Secret to Hiring a Great Video Editor

August 2023, by Alex S

Transforming your videos from amateur looking, to highly creative and engaging, requires a skilled video editor, but the question is:

-How do you screen for the right person?

-And is it possible to have AI do the editing for you?

Step 1: Define Your Needs

Before you start your search, clarify your expectations. Are you looking for someone to film, curate, and/or edit? Know your video editor's role, skills, and software proficiency.

Step 2: Determine Work Arrangement

Choose between in-house, offshore, or outsourced options. In-house offers seamless integration but comes at a higher cost typically. Freelancing can save money, but time zones, commitment issues, and communication barriers may arise. And offshore can also be a legit option if you’re willing to do what it takes to hire the right person and train them. 

Step 3: Source Talent

Consider sources like LinkedIn, referrals, and job boards. Platforms like Upwork and Fiverr are good if you are going the freelancer route too.

Step 4: Evaluate and Screen

Engage in conversations to assess alignment with your goals and values. Gauge their technical skills, creativity, and mindset. Request sample reels and potentially a test video to verify their capabilities.

Step 5: Onboarding and Development

Support your video editor's success by providing clear playbooks, guides, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Ensure they're equipped to excel in your team.
