About The Position

About CookUnity: Food has lost its soul to modern convenience. And with it, it has lost the power to nourish, inspire, and connect us. So in 2018, CookUnity was founded as the first-of-its-kind platform that connects the world with the source of truly great food: chefs. Today, CookUnity delivers 50 million meals a year from the industry’s best chefs to homes all over the country. Fresh. Ready-to-eat. And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul. Unwilling to stop there, CookUnity is expanding beyond delivery to become an ever-innovating marketplace focused on our singular mission: empower Chefs to nourish the world. If that mission has you hungry in more ways than one, you’ve found the right job posting. About the Talent Team At CookUnity, Talent is at the core of how we scale with intention. As part of our growing Talent Acquisition team, you’ll join a tight-knit, high-impact group that values ownership, excellence, and strong partnerships. We act as strategic advisors to the business, working to identify and attract exceptional talent that aligns with our values and drives our mission forward. We’re a people-first, product-led company that moves fast and stays focused on making an impact—together. This is a remote-friendly hybrid role with a preference for candidates based in New York City, where we have a vibrant HQ and frequent in-person collaboration. The Role We’re looking for a senior-level freelance recruiter to partner with our Talent Acquisition team and hiring managers on high-impact GTM searches, primarily across Brand, Growth Marketing, and related leadership roles in the U.S., Canada and LATAM.

You’ll collaborate closely with our in-house recruiting team to build strong pipelines, lead candidate engagement, and help shape what great hiring looks like at CookUnity.
