McDonald's Enlists Alexa and Google to Help With Its Hiring

McDonald's will starting this week allow job seekers to apply via voice command with Amazon's Alexa or Google's Assistant, reports the Associated Press . If users make such a request, Alexa will ask which country they want to work in. Afterwards, users can share their phone number and get a link to continue the application process. Alexa also shares certain information about working for the company, such as how it can lead to jobs in other fields. The service is available in the United States, the U.K., Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Spain. Google and Amazon say McDonald's is the first direct employer to use its platform is this way, using the fast food giant's in-house Apply Thru technology.
