Writer for Minute Taking - Canada

Are you comfortable attending meetings across various industries? Do you enjoy being part of important discussions? Are you a critical thinker with eagle-eyed attention to detail?

Join our exceptional team of Minute Takers today!

Minutes Solutions is a fast-growing professional minute-taking company that serves a global clientele. We strive to provide the highest-quality, prompt, and service-friendly solutions and to be the preferred choice for any entity that requires the highest quality of work.

Please note that we are currently only looking for Minute Takers who are open to travel and located in Toronto, Ottawa, or Vancouver to attend meetings on-site at our customers' locations roughly twice per month. The rest of the meetings you would be offered would be virtual. This is a hybrid role with an on-site requirement.

The People
Our Minute Takers come from a variety of different backgrounds: we work with corporate professionals, executive assistants, journalists, lawyers, writers, adventurers, retirees, stay-at-home parents, and incredible people from all walks of life and at every stage of their careers.

If you’re a good fit for this role, you’ll be a strong writer who’s concise and attentive to detail. Experience with executive summaries, conference reports, or minutes is a strong asset. Training is provided and mandatory.

The Process

1. Submit your application. Try the Minute Taker Challenge on our website to determine if you might be a good fit for minute taking with our team!
2. Enroll in our self-guided Training Program.
3. Successfully complete the Training Program and start accepting meetings.

The Perks
At Minutes Solutions, flexibility comes first. We work with your availability and schedule in mind. On average, our Minute Takers participate in 1-2 meetings per week – there is no guarantee of full-time or permanent work. Most of our meetings take place during the week (M-F) and start between 4-8pm EST. Events that require travel typically take place during regular business hours (between 9am – 5pm).

Meetings requiring travel will be compensated starting at $300, plus meals, local travel, airfare, and accommodation fully reimbursed. The longer the travel event, the higher the compensation. All payments will be made in $CAD via direct deposit. 

For regular virtual meetings, you will be compensated $56 per one-hour-long meeting and $15 per every additional 30 minutes that the meeting exceeds 1 hour, rounded up. For local in-person meetings, you will be compensated $106 per one-hour-long meeting and $20 per every additional 30 minutes that the meeting exceeds 1 hour, rounded up. These rates increase for meetings that exceed four hours. Compensation is based on the duration of the meeting and does not include the time it takes to format and finalize your minutes after the meeting.

Apply today!
Submit your application on our website today by sharing a copy of your resume and cover letter or writing sample. We’re looking forward to working with you!

Due to the high volume of applications, we will only proceed with successful candidates located in Toronto who are open to either local or out-of-town travel to meet customers on-site. If you require accommodation at any point in our recruitment process, please contact our team directly. We thank all applicants for their interest. Minutes Solutions is an equal opportunity employer.
