Is WHSmith hiring? Open roles, functions and locations (2026)
This page reads every active posting attributed to WHSmith across the ten boards JobsPipe collects (LinkedIn, Indeed, Y Combinator, Workday, Greenhouse, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Ashby, Lever and Paylocity) and reports the mix as shares: which functions and titles the company posts, how senior the roles are, where they sit, which skills the text names, and which boards carry them. Only percentages are published; the underlying counts stay private.
78.3% of WHSmith's open roles were first sighted in the last 30 days, 29.3% in the last 14, 21.7% have been open for more than 30 days. 0.0% of the postings are marked remote and 14.1% state a salary or range. The remote flag is read from the posting itself, so hybrid roles that never say remote count as on-site.

0.0% of WHSmith's active postings carry a remote flag. The flag is read from the posting itself, so hybrid roles that never say remote are counted as on-site. Filter the API with remote set to true and company_name_or set to the company to reproduce the figure.
Where is WHSmith hiring?+
By posting location, the largest shares are United Kingdom (66.3%), United States (22.8%) and Spain (5.4%). Location is the country on the posting, not the headquarters, so a company can post mostly outside the country it is based in.
How do I get WHSmith's postings from the API?+
POST to /v1/jobs/search with company_name_or set to ["WHSmith"] and status set to active. There is no domain filter; the company name is matched as it appears on the posting. Add job_title_or, remote or job_country_code_or to narrow the result, and discovered_at_gte to keep only roles sighted after a date.
How are roles attributed to WHSmith?+
By the employer domain on the posting. When a board or ATS exposes the employer's website, JobsPipe resolves it to a domain and groups every posting under it; postings that only carry a company name are matched to a domain where the name is unambiguous. Domain attribution is a signal, not proof: a staffing partner can post under a client's name, and a subsidiary can post under its parent's domain.
