What a video editor actually owns
- Long-form editing: pacing, structure, colour, audio cleanup
- Short-form cutdowns with captions and hooks
- Motion graphics, lower thirds, and brand templates
- Asset organization and project file hygiene
- Weekly output against a publishing calendar
What we test before you meet anyone
- A paid test edit on your own raw footage with your actual brief
- Turnaround time measured on that test, not self-reported
- How they handle a vague revision note versus a specific one
- Stack reality: Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci, CapCut, and their After Effects depth
Where video editor searches usually go wrong.
Showreels are curated and often collaborative, so what you are actually buying, turnaround speed and behaviour on the third round of revisions, never appears in one. On many reels it is not clear which cuts belonged to the candidate at all.

From approved brief to the candidates worth meeting, screened and interviewed.
Replacement search at no additional charge if the hire does not hold.
10 business days is what we aim for rather than a promise. Senior, specialist, and confidential searches often run longer. We tell you what to expect for your role once we have seen the brief.
