We Don’t Need Another Resume Screener. We Need a Headhunter.

The best people usually aren’t applying to job postings.

They’re already working. They’re leading teams, running kitchens, building businesses, and delivering results somewhere else.

Your job is to find them.

At My Fit Foods, we’re looking for an in-house Talent Headhunter who knows how to get into the market, identify exceptional people, and create relationships before a position ever becomes available.

You’ll work directly with the Head of Recruiting to understand our hiring priorities, define the right candidate profile, and build a targeted strategy for finding them. The Head of Recruiting will be your direct partner throughout each search but you’ll own getting into the market, creating relationships, and generating talent pipelines that wouldn’t otherwise exist.

You should be comfortable walking into a restaurant, respectfully asking to meet the GM or kitchen leader, starting a conversation, and leaving with their contact information—or the name of the strongest person they know. You don’t rely solely on job postings, applicant flow, or Linked In messages.

You build a real network.

You maintain an active Rolodex of executives, operators, chefs, kitchen leaders, and high-performing professionals you can call when the right opportunity comes up. You have a process for staying connected, following up, and keeping those relationships warm over time.

This is not an outside agency engagement. You’ll be a full-time member of the My Fit Foods team, working side by side with the Head of Recruiting to find the people who will help us grow.

Your primary focus will be finding talent for:

• Executive and Director-level positions
• Specialized corporate roles
• Executive kitchen and culinary operations leadership
• Production Chefs, Kitchen Managers, and high-volume food production professionals
• Other difficult-to-fill operational and technical roles

You’ll also help the Head of Recruiting support retail leadership and storefront hiring when business needs arise.

Every search will begin with clear alignment between you and the Head of Recruiting.

Together, you’ll:

• Define what success looks like in the role
• Identify the experience, leadership qualities, and cultural alignment required
• Determine which companies, industries, and markets are most likely to have the right talent
• Build targeted search and outreach strategies
• Review candidate pipelines and adjust the search when needed
• Share market feedback, compensation insights, and candidate intelligence
• Determine which candidates should move into the formal interview process
• Maintain urgency and accountability around priority searches

The Head of Recruiting will provide direction, context, and partnership. You’ll bring market knowledge, relationships, persistence, and the ability to uncover people others cannot find.
