McDonald’s is hiring more than 6,000 people on Thursday. The one-day hiring blitz is being held on the third annual National Hiring Day held by McDonald’s. Job seekers are being invited to apply in person at their local McDonald’s for the 6,000 crew and 100 manager positions.
Applicants could possibly be interviewed “on the spot” by a member of the restaurant management team, the fast-food chain said in a news release.

Since 2011, McDonald’s has hired close to 10,000 people across the country through the one-day event. The company says this will be the biggest hiring year yet, noting it will hire 1,000 more than it did last year, when it hired 5,000 and 2,000 more than the 4,000 people it hired in 2011.
