This way, we're able to enhance the candidate experience thanks to a much better quality of human to human interaction. Our candidates are also our customers and ensuring a seamless experience while exploring a possible career at McDonald's is something we want to provide. We are happy to partner with Talkpush to make applying for a job at McDonald's more candidate-friendly and enjoyable. We look forward to fostering more recruitment innovations moving forward, setting the bar higher for the quick service restaurant industry."
