Contract Recruiter - Product

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.

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.

• Track and share progress using a data-driven approach, identifying opportunities to improve funnel health and time-to-hire.

• 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.

• Familiarity with North American and LATAM markets.
• Understanding of talent marketing and employer branding tactics.
• Conversational Spanish is a big plus.

We’re a profitable, mission-driven company with over 70% YoY growth, passionate about transforming mealtime with chef-crafted, personalized meals. We value excellence, ownership, and relationships—and we’re growing fast.
