The job, in the employer's words
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 searches across the U.S. and Canada. This role will focus on sourcing, engaging, and closing top-tier, values-aligned talent across diverse functions—primarily focused on Product, and senior leadership roles.
You’ll collaborate closely with our in-house recruiting team to build strong pipelines, lead candidate engagement, and help drive hiring excellence during a key growth phase for CookUnity.

- Build strong pipelines of top active and passive candidates through strategic sourcing and personalized outreach.
- Act as a trusted partner and advisor to hiring managers—supporting intake, calibration, and hiring strategy discussions.
- Manage candidate experience end-to-end, ensuring clear communication, timely feedback, and a high-touch approach.
- Lead interview debriefs and structured decision-making, ensuring alignment with CookUnity’s values and leadership principles.
- Collaborate on employer branding and market positioning to attract A+ talent in competitive markets.
- Leverage tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Greenhouse, GEM, and AI-based sourcing platforms to optimize reach and efficiency.
- Track and share progress using a data-driven approach, identifying opportunities to improve funnel health and time-to-hire.
About You
- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally in product-led, high-growth environments.
- Proven ability to recruit for Tech/Engineering, Product, or Data roles—and familiarity with U.S. hiring markets.
- Strong sourcing expertise and creative strategies to engage passive candidates.
- Comfortable working with senior stakeholders, providing both strategic guidance and hands-on recruiting support.
- Experience with ATS and CRM tools (we use Greenhouse) and strong command of LinkedIn Recruiter.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills—you know how to represent the brand with professionalism and warmth.
- Self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, dynamic environments with minimal oversight.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with North American and LATAM markets.
- Understanding of talent marketing and employer branding tactics.
- Conversational Spanish is a big plus.
