Job description

You're the kind of person that people love to know. You're easy to talk to, you're a great listener, and you know just about everyone in town. You're a connector, you're curious, you're kind, and you have a genuine interest in helping the people around you.
That's why we want to talk to you about joining us as our new Talent Acquisition Partner at Vital Farms. Because you see, we're on a mission at Vital Farms to change the food industry one ethically-sourced ingredient at a time. While we're known for our pasture raised eggs - giving our hens 108 square feet to roam and calling bullsh*t on terms like cage free and free range - the truth is we've got big plans to do so much more. That's because we give a cluck when it comes to the health of our animals, the health of our customers, and the health of our planet.
