Pay-per-interview - how it works

Job brief meeting - 30 minutes

The process begins with a remote job brief meeting using Google Meet:

• You’ll meet your dedicated project manager
• Confirm the details of the project
• Generate a job brief.

Contract and assets

After the meeting, we’ll send an email with essential information and next steps:

• A checklist of what we need from you - your branding, names of participants as they should appear on screen, and contact details
• A link to your secure cloud storage folder on our Google Drive. This will act as the long term archive of project materials and central exchange of supporting files / information
• Direct links to the subfolders where you can upload branding, plus access final cuts and raw footage for future use
• Your contract and job brief for review.

How your storage folder will look:

Contract and invoicing terms

We send a contracting email with:

• Your engagement contract
• Initial invoice for your approval.

• Who we’re interviewing, and when
• The themes you would like us to address and the questions you would like us to ask.

As soon as the video files have uploaded, your project manager will pass them to our team of editors, who will:
