Employment FAQ

No, we're a language services firm, not a freelance job portal, employment site, marketplace, or client/editor job match site. If you are successful in your application, you will be working for us.

Since 1997. In Internet terms, that makes us positively establishment. Old school, even.

We have a variety of positions available, both telecommute and in-house. Please see the appropriate listing on our employment page.

If you are hired a telecommute editing/proofreading positions you'll be an independent contractor, working for us. Whether it's full- or part-time depends in part on assignment availability and your own schedule. We can't guarantee you a full-time income, but we'll work hard to keep you as busy as you want to be.

The in-house editing/proofreading and programming/web development positions are based in Chatham, Ontario, Canada.

Absolutely not. There are no application fees, system access fees, etc.

We do have a standardized test, but it's just that, a test, not some document we're farming out. We don't condone making applicants work for free, and we don't think it's good business to get work done for clients by sending it out to several different editors that we haven't thoroughly vetted.

No, and we'd like to learn more about where you found our job posting if you did. We don't mind writing sites posting information about our job openings if they provide them freely to their site users/email subscribers; however, we do ask that they write us for permission before doing so. We definitely do not condone sites/lists that scour the net for listings and then charge people for viewing them. Tell us where you found our listing, please.

We offer telecommuters the opportunity to work from the comfort of their own homes, the ability to pick and choose assignments based on their interests, expertise and schedules, variety, and most importantly, we pay promptly. We offer in-house staff a competitive salary and benefits package, a selection of work schedules including weekends, state-of-the-art facilities, and a pleasant working environment.
