You’ve got piles of raw footage and editors who ghost halfway through projects. You just want a reliable post editor who can deliver quality work because the wrong hire costs you time, money, and your brand’s consistency. If this sounds familiar, this post is for you.

Do the following

Create a good job post, source and filter effectively

Start by writing a compelling job post that attracts top talent.

Clearly explain:

• What you’re looking for
• Why they should work with you
• And why the opportunity is unique

You can learn more about this in our detailed guide (link in the description).

Create your job post on WorkScreen, a hiring platform that helps you hire quality post editors.

Then, share the link you receive on reputable sites like:

• Weworkremotely
• Remoteok
• ph (If you need one from the Philippines)

Once candidates apply through the link, they’re automatically screened for performance. Unqualified applicants are filtered out, and you receive a shortlist of serious, qualified post editors, saving you time and helping you hire faster.

Next, interview candidates

Instead of asking generic questions that can easily be faked, use a candidate’s portfolio to come up with in-depth questions that can help you assess real-life experience and problem-solving skills. For instance, you can ask:

• How did you approach editing your first post?
• What specific challenges did you face during editing your first post?
• Describe how you solved each challenge.
• What did your supervisor or client say about your first project?
• What did the feedback make you feel?

A genuine candidate will give you detailed but messy responses, while one that’s faking it may sound too polished or inconsistent.

And lastly, test for skills

Before you make an offer, test the candidate’s skills to confirm they can deliver. Workscreen can help you easily skill-test post editors.
