How do you hire an insane video editor?
We've hired 250+ video editors for Fortune 500s, startups, and creators.
And every month we review 1,000+ applications.
Here’s exactly how we filter the top 1%:
Stages:
1. Portfolio
2. Test
3. Trial
STAGE 1: PORTFOLIO
The first stage is the simplest: Every applicant submits their portfolio — that’s it.
We want to make it as easy as possible to apply.
But…the portfolio is tricky because you’re missing a lot of info like editing time, inspiration, communication, etc.
All we’re looking for here is 1 “WOW” factor:
For example:
-1 animation
-1 motion graphic
-1 sound effect
-1 transition
We just need 1 amazing factor to see ~potential~
Typically, we’ll filter 80% of applicants at this stage.
STAGE 2: PAID TEST
Now is the real test — create a sample edit from scratch.
Think of this like our SAT. A standardized test to compare applicants.
The test should be simple:
-4 hours
-Only provide raw assets + inspiration
-Deliver within 5 days
4 hours is perfect because it won't break your budget.
Plus editors with a full-time job already (typically the best) can do this after work or on the weekend.
But…beware of micromanaging. Don’t provide 5 pages of your exact editing guidelines — just give inspiration + assets.
We wanna truly test their taste.
STAGE 3: TRIAL
Once you get the sample back, there are a few common red flags like...
- Over editing
- Bad sound design
- Cheesy b-roll
1 red flag is not critical — because it’s easy to fix.
But multiple red flags = rejection.
Our rule of thumb: Could we post this video as is?
If so, immediate hire.
If almost, we’ll do a 2-week trial period to see if they can dial it in with feedback.
Pro tip: Chunk the trial into daily reviews. This way you can asses skills 10x faster.
