Let’s be honest, hiring a video editor kind of sucks.

You post a job. You get 47 applications. Everyone’s “fast,” “creative,” and “easy to work with.”
But then the files are late, the captions are wrong, and you’re rewriting feedback at 10pm.

‍

I’ve been there.
That’s why I wrote a 50+ page guide showing you exactly how I’ve hired video editors that actually deliver. Editors I’d trust with my own clients, my own brand, my own reputation.

‍

This blog gives you a peek into that system.
But if you want the full playbook—interview questions, job post templates, creative tests: download the full guide here.

Why Most People Hire the Wrong Editor

‍

It’s not because great editors don’t exist.
It’s because most people don’t know what they’re hiring for.

You’re not hiring someone to edit videos.
You’re hiring someone to solve a bottleneck in your business.
And until you define the problem, you’re going to keep making the same bad hire.

3 Big Mistakes I See Every Day

‍

1. You Don’t Know Your Own Creative Style

Are you a “just make it happen” type? Or do you want to workshop ideas together?
Most bad hires happen because your creative style doesn’t match theirs.

(I break down the 3 types of creative styles in the guide—plus how to screen for each.)

‍

2. You’re Focused on Cost, Not Value

I’m not here to tell you what editing should cost.
I’m here to help you make sure whatever you spend actually gets you what you need.

Whether your budget is $500 or $50K, I’ll show you how to get the most from it.

‍

3. You’re Hoping, Not Testing

A good portfolio isn’t proof. It’s marketing.
You need a test project. A system. A way to spot red flags before you commit.

‍

This Isn’t Theory—It’s What I Use Every Day

‍

I’ve hired (and fired) more editors than I can count.
Now I run a full-time video editing company that delivers thousands of videos per year. And the reason we can scale is because our hiring process works.
