Verdict
The Strathcona Hotel is a genuine, long-established family-owned Victoria landmark that actively hires kitchen staff, and the posting content matches its operations. However, applications are directed to strathconahoteljobs@novicesjobs.com — a third-party domain (Novices Jobs, a Burnaby-based job board targeting newcomers, whose own site is novicesjobs.ca, not .com). The hotel has its own domain (strathconahotel.com) and normally recruits via Indeed/its site, so an off-domain intermediary inbox that anyone could have registered creates a real, though unconfirmed, impersonation/diversion risk. Medium risk.

Apply address strathconahoteljobs@novicesjobs.com is not on strathconahotel.com; the job board's own site is novicesjobs.ca, adding a .com/.ca inconsistency

First cook posting with kitchen tasks and Recognized Employer designation is consistent with the hotel's real hiring
