Chipotle to go on massive, one-day hiring spree

Denver -- Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. is going on a hiring binge.



The chain will hold its first-ever “National Career Day,” on Sept. 9, with the goal of hiring 4,000 new employees.



In terms of employment, Chipotle is considered one of the more desirable fast-food chains, offering higher-than-average wages. In June, the company announced it planned to offer benefits previously available only to salaried workers to all employees, including full tuition reimbursements, sick pay, and paid vacation days.



“We believe that our success is the direct result of our incredibly strong people culture, which is rooted in having teams of all top performers, and developing them to be the leaders we will need to accommodate our growth,” said Monty Moran, co-CEO at Chipotle. “We are constantly looking for great people to join our team. Regardless of your background or experience, you can succeed at Chipotle if you have a passion for making the people around you better. Working here isn’t just a job, but a career where employees learn how to make others better, run a successful business, master culinary skills, and most importantly, lead teams of top performers.”



Chipotle currently operates more than 1,850 restaurants, including 17 Chipotle restaurants outside the United States, and 11 ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen restaurants.
