Internet Research jobs

We at Legacy Tree Genealogists love helping people all over the world (in over 50 countries!) discover their heritage. We get up in the morning and do things like tell a client her birth father’s name, connect cousins in China, and share documentation that an ancestor used an alias and actually fathered two families – at the same time, in two different countries. For almost 20 years we’ve been changing people’s lives forever by answering some of their deepest questions.

Legacy Tree is growing (we’ve been recognized as one of Utah’s 100 fastest growing Companies, six years in a row!), and we need additional support to keep providing the highest-rated genealogy research in the world to our clients. This is where you come in!

What Working at Legacy Tree Will be Like

We work hard to make working at Legacy Tree a great part of our team members’ lives. Here’s a little about what life here will be like:

Live Where You Want

Legacy Tree has always been a remote-based company, which allows us to hire the best talent and allows our team members to be where they love. As long as you have a quiet place to work, a flexible schedule, and fast internet in your location, that’s all that matters.

Work Flexibly

This role will be 10-15 hours per week to start, with regular check-ins throughout the week to catch client replies. You’ll be working warm leads and paid an hourly rate plus commission.

Work with Great People

We may be a remote company, but when you’re solving some of the toughest genealogy mysteries in the world, there’s a lot of cooperation that takes place. You’ll get to know your team members well, and you’ll be grateful for their support when you have questions. There are lots of others who you’ll get to know, especially in our company chat Break Room and at our retreats.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this position and consider joining our team! We hope to hear from you if you think we’ll make a good fit.

Application question(s):

• If the hours were to increase over time as we continue to grow, would you be willing to

work additional hours long-term? We also realise that many people are not in a position to only work 10-15 hours per week long-term. If the hours were to stay in that range, can you explain how that will work for you?

• Tell us about your experience working with international clients and with your familiarity with them.
• Tell us about your experience with unscripted telephone and video call sales.
• What do you know about genealogy and/or what is your experience with genealogy?

You don’t need to know much for this job, but it's helpful for us to understand your
