  1. Be aware of fraudulent job postings/offers

    The WestJet Group makes every effort to check the legitimacy of our job opportunities that are represented externally and not directly posted on our WestJet.com careers page. We will never request money from job seekers, nor request personal information beyond what is required for a resume (i.e. social insurance number, banking information).

    All individuals who are successful in gaining an offer of employment from WestJet, whether directly or indirectly, are always required to go through a formal recruitment process, including an interview with a member of WestJet’s talent team.

    If you suspect any fraudulent activity as it relates to employment at the WestJet Group, please contact talent@westjet.com.

    Tip: One quick way to know your potential offer is a scam is to check the email address. Legitimate emails from WestJet employees end in @westjet.com. Some recent scams have come from similar email addresses.
