Description Founded in 1998, Legacy.com is an innovative online media company that collaborates with more than 750 newspapers in North America, Europe and Australia to provide ways for readers to express condolences and share remembrances of loved ones.



As the leader in the online memorial and obituary market, Legacy.com is visited by more than 14 million users each month. It partners with 124 of the 150 largest newspapers in the U.S. and features obituaries and Guest Books for more than two-thirds of people who die in the United States.



In addition, the company provides individuals and newspaper affiliates with new and powerful ways to connect during shared times of loss, such as the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in the aftermath of national tragedies such as 9/11.

We have a diverse and talented team of employees who come to us from many kinds of backgrounds. We have an immediate need for Temporary Content Screeners to work from home part time on a temporary basis for approximately 4-5 months.


The Position
Do you want to work part time and contribute to an important service? We’re looking for people to screen online condolence messages in accordance with established guidelines. Positions start at $10/hour.

Legacy.com hosts online obituary sections for newspapers. Each of these obituaries includes an online Guest Book where friends and family can submit messages to express their condolences or share their memories. The primary task of this position is to read these messages before they are posted online to ensure that inappropriate or offensive material does not appear in the Guest Book.
