Hiring a Video Editor
Check out their experience/number of hours worked
Read reviews from their previous clients

Be prepared to manage your editor
Allow time for uploading and downloading your files

Give very clear descriptions and sample videos you like

- Animated Logo
- Lower Thirds – Names and Positions

Create a spreadsheet with clearly labelled video numbers (if you are shooting multiple videos)
