Core responsibilitiesBest fit: The senior pick: editor, ongoing brand production, with enough range to own more than one lane at once.
Core responsibilitiesA video editor turns raw footage into platform-ready content that matches your brand, audience, and publishing schedule.
From your first brief to a Video editor working in Premiere Pro and After Effects, you stay with one recruiter from scope through start.
Tell us the work to own, from video editing and production to social and ad content, plus the systems, coverage hours, and outcomes that matter. We turn that into a focused search brief.
We screen candidates for video editing and production, social and ad content, and practical fluency in Premiere Pro and After Effects. You review a shortlist with relevant context.
Choose your candidate and hiring model. We coordinate the handoff into your tools, operating process, and first-week priorities.
Best for marketing teams that need a reliable flow of platform-ready video, not a freelancer bottleneck.
Requests move through a production calendar tied to your posting schedule, instead of a freelancer's queue you cannot see into.
One editor learns your templates and asset library once, so every cut looks like it came from the same channel.
One shoot turns into a full week of long-form and social content, instead of one video and nothing else.
One dedicated editor costs less than the salary, benefits and payroll taxes a full-time in-house hire adds up to.
You stop re-briefing a new freelancer every project, since your editor already knows your brand and your templates.
A freelancer marketplace gives you a different editor for every project. A dedicated editor learns your brand once and keeps it consistent.
5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented to clients.
Tell us your editing suite and asset workflow on the discovery call, and we match on it directly.
Fully managed global talent from $12 an hour, or US direct hire from 12.5% of first-year salary. Compare the two on our [staffing solutions page](/solutions/).
"They built the analytics and automation our leadership now runs on, recovered tens of thousands in freight claims and cut manual work by 96%."
"It was very easy working with HireHawk, from looking for viable candidates, the interview process, all the way to implementation of your hire, they handle it all. We are also very happy with our hire. Very easy and seamless process."
"HireHawk filled two senior roles in under two weeks. The candidates were sharper than anything our in-house recruiter surfaced in months."
"Her scope grew within months and our leadership asked to meet her in person. We came back to HireHawk to expand the rest of the team."
"When our workflow broke down she built a tracking system to stop it happening again, without being asked."
The right model depends on the seat, not the company. Some roles need someone in the building; the rest do not, and cost far less remotely.
HireHawk is a staffing agency for growing US companies with industry-specialized recruiters. This is one of the seats we fill most: we recruit for it, run 5-Stage Vetting, and either employ the hire on global talent or place them directly on your payroll.
Your editor already works in Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve and most standard editing suites, so there's no software ramp-up before the first cut lands. Name your actual suite on the discovery call, and we match you with someone who already edits in it, instead of learning it live.
Yes. Tell us your content mix on the discovery call, whether that's mostly long-form, mostly social cuts, or a genuine split between the two. Some editors specialize in one or the other, so we match you to what you actually need, instead of a generalist who is fine at both but great at neither.
A freelance marketplace gets you one project from whoever happens to be available that week, with no memory of what came before. A dedicated editor instead learns your brand, your templates and your asset library once, then keeps every edit consistent with it, without you re-explaining your style every time.
You'll see vetted candidates within 10 business days of your discovery call, so you're not waiting weeks to start interviewing. Once you've made your pick, onboarding takes 21 days, whether the hire joins your payroll directly or comes on as a fully managed global hire through HireHawk.
You're covered either way. If you go with global talent, you get 100% performance replacement at no extra cost. If you choose US direct hire, you're backed by a 60-day replacement guarantee, so a bad fit doesn't turn into a bad quarter for your business.
We review relevant portfolio work and assess candidates against the format, pace, brand direction, and revision workflow you need. You can request a paid-standard test task where appropriate, so you judge the shortlist on work close to the videos you will actually publish.
Tell us your content mix and your editing suite. We'll put a vetted editor on it.
