Before you meet anyone

How we screen video editors.

Every candidate is checked against the work, your tools and your hours. You only interview the people who pass.

See screened candidates
  1. The duties, not the title

    We review the editing work each candidate has actually done: long-form cuts, short-form clips, ads and motion graphics.

  2. Their reel

    Candidates share portfolio work samples, such as a reel or finished videos, so you can review their editing before you interview.

  3. Your editing software

    Tell us your stack and we shortlist people who have worked in it, from Premiere Pro and After Effects to DaVinci Resolve.

  4. Your hours

    We confirm each candidate can work your business hours, so feedback and revisions move while your team is online.

  5. Background and medical checks

    Every hire passes background and medical checks before day one. They’re part of the process, not an extra.

  6. Then you interview the shortlist

    You meet the candidates who pass, ask your own questions, and choose who joins your team.

One monthly fee per employee.

No placement fee. No separate hiring charges. Everything you need to get a new hire started on your team is inside the fee.

A local hire, salary plus overhead$1,375/wk
A Remote Employee$473/wk

Questions about hiring video editors.

How hiring through Remote Employee works for this role.

They turn raw footage into finished video: cutting and sequencing, cleaning up audio, adding captions, b-roll and motion graphics, and exporting the right versions for YouTube, social media, ads, or your website.

Yes. Candidates share portfolio work samples, such as a reel or finished videos, so you can judge their editing before you talk. You then interview the shortlist and choose who joins.

The software you already use. Tell us your stack and we shortlist people who have worked in it, typically Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut for short-form.

Through the shared drive or review tool you already use, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or Frame.io, with their own login and the permissions you choose. They work on equipment we provide, and every hire passes background and medical checks before they start.

Yes, if that’s the role. Tell us the mix you need, such as weekly YouTube episodes plus daily clips, and we screen for candidates who have done that work.

It depends on the role, experience, and skills you’re looking for.

Once we know who you need, we’ll give you the cost upfront. There’s a one-time setup fee per employee, followed by a monthly fee. Businesses typically save 50–70% compared with hiring a similar role in the US with equivalent education, experience or other qualifications.

Remote Employee® is the legal employer. We employ your team member locally in the Philippines and take care of their payroll, taxes, contracts, and compliance. You just pay a set monthly invoice while we take care of the rest.
