Frequently asked questions
Should a video editor provide samples?
Ask for relevant examples that show the style, format, and editing tasks in your brief. Clarify whether the work is the editor's own and what parts they handled, especially when a sample includes a larger production.
How do I share large footage files with an editor?
Agree on a file-transfer method, folder structure, naming convention, and expected source formats before work starts. Include how project files, exports, and revised versions should be returned and stored.
Which time zones can the role cover?
Candidates in the Philippines work US, Australian, UK or European business hours, and each job post says the schedule. Agree the daily overlap before you hire, and remember the clock shifts when the US or Europe changes its time.
How do I pay someone abroad?
Most employers pay by Wise, Payoneer or a bank transfer. Agree the method, the rate and the payment dates before work starts, and keep the invoices for your own records.
Is this person my employee or my contractor?
Most people hired abroad work as independent contractors: you pay an agreed rate and they handle their own taxes and benefits. If you want an employment relationship, check the rules where you are hiring from or use an employer of record.
Does WorkNow charge a placement fee?
No. You can post a job for free, and our team reviews the first one before it goes live. You are never charged a percentage of the salary.
