Use the links to view each company’s website & see if they are hiring. Look for their “careers” or “jobs” page. Many Victoria companies do not use job boards, and only post open positions on their website. Use a recruiter - even though they’re not as easy to use / available as in Toronto, San Francisco or New York Apply for open positions through Linkedin & job boards like indeed.com, workopolis.com, viatec.ca/jobs, usedvictoria.com Ask any former colleagues, classmates or family members if they know anyone in Victoria who could recommend you to a company here. Ask to be introduced to that company’s HR (Human Resources) person, Internal Recruiter or “People Ops” specialist. Join the tech slack groups, YYJ Tech Slack and YYJ Tech Ladies Slack and look at the job post channels in there. Search Twitter using the hashtags #yyjobs, #yyjjobs, and #victoriabcjobs Search Instagram using the hashtags #yyjobs, #yyjjobs, and #victoriabcjobs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60450a1ee0fb2a6f5771a822/1616090946354-AWXDN6N6JVB6Z3YUWIDC/couple-moving-boxes-laptop.jpg Finding a job in Victoria - My partner also needs a job when we move We’ve listed the biggest companies in Victoria, as a way for you to start looking for where your partner could work if you move here. https://www.movingtovictoria.com/home daily 1.0 2025-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60450a1ee0fb2a6f5771a822/1631096545970-CVYLGIMM31SDK1XUGBHQ/van-victoria.jpg Home - Moving to Victoria, BC A practical guide to life in Victoria, BC, Canada for Canadians, internationals and newcomers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60450a1ee0fb2a6f5771a822/1627487491052-L046GJH1L6RFQA5ZJIKB/woman-working-at-lab.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60450a1ee0fb2a6f5771a822/1631094303527-5YBA32LFHIE83A3K697L/woman-looking-at-phone-in-cafe.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60450a1ee0fb2a6f5771a822/1631094531756-T2E4MURJO5602XA9HXAU/flying-over-vancouver-island.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60450a1ee0fb2a6f5771a822/1623093148067-7RRN8W841BRORM8Y0SLG/mom-daughter-at-home.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60450a1ee0fb2a6f5771a822/1616006777864-HHQ1NTEFZO3BW8R2SEO9/girls-picnic-outside.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60450a1ee0fb2a6f5771a822/9aa0480b-7979-48e4-ab54-1c022b4c0473/dog-beach-walk.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60450a1ee0fb2a6f5771a822/1627486437855-034A3UES0BC9SGV8QEN7/asian-woman-on-phone.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60450a1ee0fb2a6f5771a822/1651148156827-X7T74HPW2119EV1TGH6T/friends-women-outside.jpeg Home https://www.movingtovictoria.com/childcare daily 0.75 2023-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60450a1ee0fb2a6f5771a822/1615213089546-4TU8VZ9NRRO1CL5WENSM/family-rain-outside.jpeg Finding childcare - How much is each daycare per month?
