Taco Bell to hold 'walk-thru' interviews at Hamilton Mountain locations

Taco Bell Canada is launching a new 'walk-thru' hiring experience at 20 Ontario restaurants this month, including two Hamilton Mountain locations.

In a news release, the restaurant chain said it's planning to fill over 100 job openings, including both part-time and full-time team member and management positions.

Interested candidates will be encouraged to visit a participating Taco Bell location for a socially distanced, on-the-spot interview. Each interview is expected to take 15-20 minutes.

To thank applicants for their time, Taco Bell will be offering participants free food-to-go (while supplies last) upon completion of an interview.

Taco Bell said the 'walk-thru' experience will adhere to both local and national public health COVID-19 guidelines, and will be held outside, with those involved remaining at least six feet apart and required to wear face masks for the duration of the experience.

"We know the past year has been difficult for Canadians, particularly where the job market is concerned, so we're looking forward to hosting our first-ever walk-thru hiring experience in partnership with our franchisees and sharing these exciting job opportunities with Canadians," said Jessica Kleinert, manager of international marketing at Taco Bell. "We are proud to bring job opportunities and economic growth to participating communities and expand our team by welcoming over 100 new members to the Taco Bell Canada family."

The Hamilton walk-thru interviews are available at the 1550 Upper James Street location (905-387-6006) and the 677 Upper James Street eatery (905-383-8877).

Both sessions are June 9 from 2-5 p.m.
