Video Editor · remote · EST

Step 1: Check your internet speed

This job means downloading large raw files and uploading finished work every day, usually on a client deadline. On a slow connection, transfers that should take minutes take hours and the client ends up waiting. That's why we only hire video editors with at least 100 Mbps download and 100 Mbps upload.

Before you start the test:

Plug in with a cable if you can, or sit close to your router.
Pause other downloads, streaming and video calls on your network.
You get 2 tries on this device, so set up first.

The rest of the application opens once your result meets the minimum.

Video introduction

Record a 60-90 second video introducing yourself. Tell us who you are, what you do best, and one piece of work you're genuinely proud of , keep it about YOU, not any specific role. We share this video with different clients across many openings over time, so a person-focused intro lasts a lot longer and saves you from re-recording every time a new opportunity comes up. Speak naturally to the camera. Do NOT read from a script, our system detects script-reading and those videos are automatically rejected. Look into the lens, not at notes. Steady the camera, face a window for light, quiet room. Your link must be PUBLIC, anyone with the link should be able to view without requesting access. Google Drive: Share → "Anyone with the link" → Viewer. YouTube: set to Unlisted (not Private). Vimeo: Anyone can see this video. Loom is NOT allowed, auto-rejected.

Public link required. If we have to request access, your application gets delayed and may be skipped entirely.

What the test looks like

If we move forward, you'll get a short test project. Here's a preview so you know what you're signing up for:

Raw footage: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O9GAc4E-FWQoGFT8Q7KmV_MNvQ9qo49YcHddnSPIfMU/edit?usp=drivesdk
Reference (finished cut style): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ozko6xfss1ck88g5foltw/78-Charles-St-Port-Hope-REEL.mov?rlkey=wf23l9cmmgvftb0ses0n0gyd9&st=px91ssxl&dl=0

You don't need to do anything with these now — they're only here so you can decide if the work is a fit.

Exclusivity commitment

Staffify expects committed hours to be exclusive to the client we place you with. Please answer truthfully — many candidates have other clients, and that's fine to disclose. What matters is we know up front so the schedule works.

Do you currently have other contracted work, freelance clients, or full-time employment?

No, this would be my only roleYes, I have other work

If Staffify hires me to work for one of its clients, I will not perform any other contracted work, freelance work, or employed work during the hours I commit to that client. I understand that working a second job during my committed hours, or logging time that I did not actually spend on my assigned work, is grounds for immediate termination of my engagement with the client and with Staffify. Time logs that do not match the work produced are also grounds for termination. I confirm the answers I gave on this application are true, including my disclosure of any other contracted work I currently hold.

I have read the statement above and I agree.
