Recruitment Scams Notice We’ve recently seen an increase in recruitment scams across the industry, and we want to make sure you (and your data) stay safe while applying to CookUnity. We also want you to know that we take this seriously. Sometimes, as part of our process, we may ask for a brief “proof of humanity” to confirm that we’re connecting with a real person, not an impersonator.

Apply only through our official channels. All open roles are listed on our official careers page:

careers.cookunity.com

Our recruiters are real people — and easy to verify. You can always find them on LinkedIn with verified profiles. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out to us on our official LinkedIn Company Page.

We only communicate through official CookUnity channels: emails ending in @cookunity.com and interviews held through official company platforms (Google Meet or Zoom) — never WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS.

We’ll never ask for payment or personal financial details. If anyone does, please don’t share any information and let us know right away.
