Unlike other genealogists we are strong believers that all our employees are awarded for the work they do. Therefore, we do not offer internships, or apprenticeships as this goes against our beliefs in guaranteed receipt of at least the London Living Wage. We do not offer commission, sign-up bonuses or other variable pay (money determined by sales activities), as we believe that all departments within the business, are fundamental for its success.
We currently do not have any in-office researcher job vacancies. When we are hiring, we usually go through a recruitment agency, or will post career opportunities here.
