Wow! That’s a creative way of screening McDonald’s applicants. Thumb up for McDonald’s Australia for coming up with this idea.

If using a social media app will get more local employers to look at applications, I am all for it. Gone are those bygone days where you walked into a business who needs help and you could fill out a basic application at site. The vetting process could be done between first initial interview and second., unlike today where the computer scans all applications looking for certain key qualifications and eliminating some potentially good employees because they won’t get government credit for hiring. Employers of local businesses will only need to do hiring a certain times at a much slower pace than a big business.

Since a 10-second video showing the applicant in a McDonald’s uniform would be the sole criterion for moving them to the next phase, the “cautions” stated in the article are legitimate concerns and would make this process a non-starter in the U. S. That being said, I applaud companies for providing the broadest possible variety of avenues through which prospective employees can apply. The practice of some organizations of only accepting applications through their websites, or — worse yet — their Face Book page can “screen out” some otherwise-worthy candidates.
