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. Here are
a few tips to help you protect yourself and know what to expect
from us: 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. That means
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. If something ever feels off or you're unsure
about a message, we'd much rather you double-check with us. You can
always contact us directly through any of our social media
channels. We appreciate your interest in joining CookUnity — and we
care about keeping your experience (and safety) as genuine as
