Web designer

Vitalist · Vancouver, BC · $90,000 to $105,000 annually (to be negotiated)

Verdict

Vitalist is a legitimate, publicly-traded company with a reachable website and confirmed jobs listing, which supports legitimacy. However, the posting exhibits a notable location mismatch—Vitalist is headquartered in Calgary, yet the job is posted for Vancouver with a mailing address in downtown Vancouver. Combined with the requirement to mail physical resumes (unusual for a modern tech/design role), these factors create moderate fraud risk despite the employer's real credentials.

web.locationMatch = mismatch+12
Vitalist is headquartered in Calgary, but the job posting claims Vancouver location. The mailing address is in Vancouver, but this geographic discrepancy is a red flag for potential deception or unauthorized use of the company name.
mail_physical_resume+10
Posting requires applicants to mail physical resumes to a commercial address. For a modern web design role, this is atypical and suggests either outdated hiring practices or potential fraud.
web.applicationAddressType = business-5
Mailing address (1199 W Hastings, Room 250) is a legitimate commercial office building in downtown Vancouver, not a residential or virtual address.
web.hasJobsListing = yes-8
Wellfound confirms Vitalist has an active careers page, indicating legitimate hiring activity.
web.businessMatch = match-15
Vitalist Inc (TSX-V: VITA) is a real, substantive consumer electronics company with a professional, reachable website.
