A quick note for all candidates
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.
