A representative for Royal Foundation and HRP did not immediately return International Business Times' request for comment.
The LinkedIn posting is a new step for the royal family, who would normally post new job positions on the Kensington Palace's website. However, this transition will allow the royal family to broaden the organization's horizons to discover a more diverse crop of candidates.
TRH wrote about its employees on the organization's LinkedIn page, saying, "whatever their role and whichever department they’re in, our people are part of something remarkable. They provide invaluable support to The Queen and Royal Family, enabling them to fulfill their duties and serve the nation."
TRH holds a 4.0 rating out of 5 stars on Glassdoor, which is based on reviews from former and current employees. A former employee wrote in a review, "Good perks in terms of salary sacrifice schemes, free lunch, access to leisure facilities [and] opportunities to network." A current employee wrote, "The obvious prestige, surviving successful security screening, and overall working experience doesn't look bad in one's CV and gives one a net edge, especially in private sector service/trust oriented jobs."
