IT Support Specialist

LIV-Machobear · Victoria, British Columbia · $60,000 - $65,000 annually

applies via workforcenow.adp.com

Verdict

LIV-Machobear is a legitimate, established tech startup with a reachable website and active hiring presence. However, the posting claims a Victoria location while the company's actual headquarters are in Vancouver—a significant geographic mismatch for an IT Support role that typically requires on-site presence. The online ADP application link is professional and legitimate, mitigating other concerns. The salary range is reasonable for the role and region.
