Posted 2026-04-29 · Reviewed on 2026-07-03 · What do these ratings mean?
Verdict
Innov8 Digital Solutions Inc. is a real, long-established (1978) office-technology and IT services company with a verified Victoria office at 575 Bay St, and an IT specialist role fits its business. However, the posting directs applicants to hrjobs179@gmail.com, while the company's own site tells applicants to use careers@innov8.ca — a numbered free-email address contradicting the official channel is a classic impersonation/agency-posting pattern. The company legitimacy keeps this below high risk, but applicants should verify via the official careers page.
