Friends Wanted is a whole new hiring philosophy, focused on making McDonald’s a place for friends to apply, interview, and work together. It launched with a series of online films about two employees who are friends at work, and outside it. Other elements encouraged friends to apply together, including in-restaurant materials such as a tray liner printed with a pair of application forms. We even updated their online application form with space for friends to apply together.
