recruitment specialist

Cain & Associates · Sooke, BC · $37.00 hourly

Verdict

Cain & Associates is a legitimate, established HR services firm with a reachable website and verified business match. However, the posting claims a Sooke, BC location where the company has no known office—all verified locations are in Toronto, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. The email domain (accounting@cainconsulting.ca) belongs to the parent company, not the posting employer, which is slightly unusual but not disqualifying. The detailed job description and legitimate employer profile provide strong legitimacy signals, but the location mismatch is a material concern that elevates fraud risk to the medium band.

  • locationMatch_mismatch+18

    Posting claims Sooke, BC location, but company's verified offices are in Toronto, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver—no known Sooke presence.

  • reasonable_salary-5

    $37.00/hour for a recruitment specialist in BC is market-appropriate and not an outlier.

  • company_domain_email-8

    Contact email accounting@cainconsulting.ca is at the employer's corporate domain (parent company), not a free consumer provider.

  • websiteReachable-10

    Website https://cainassociates.ca/ is reachable and active with high confidence (0.85).

  • detailed_job_description-12

    Comprehensive job description with specific NOC code, detailed tasks, technical requirements, work conditions, and inclusive hiring practices demonstrates legitimacy.

  • businessMatch-15

    Cain & Associates is a real, substantive HR services firm (division of The Staffing Exchange Inc.) with verified business registration and active website.
