If you would like to be considered as a third-party recruiter, please contact the related Human Resources department in your area. Please note that this does not guarantee a contract or agreement.

Bird has become aware that fraudulent offers of employment have been extended to people residing within and outside of Canada. Individuals or organizations sending these false employment offers may request personal information or funds to further the recruitment process with Bird.

Please be aware that Bird will never request money from job seekers, nor request personal information beyond what is required for a résumé. All individuals who are successful in gaining an offer of employment from Bird, are always required to go through a formal recruitment process including an interview with a member of the Bird recruitment team.
