McDonald's says it's hiring 2,900 in N.J., pushes Snapchat 'Snaplications'

McDonald's plans to hire 2,900 new employees in New Jersey in the next several weeks, the fast food chain said Monday.

Both full- and part-time positions are available at the 265 locations across the state. The McDonald's in Wall, for example, is hiring a general manager as well as crew and a maintenance person, while others are only hiring crew members.

Prospective employees can begin the application process via the Snapchat app -- McDonald's is calling it a "Snaplication."

Applications to work at McDonald's have jumped 35 percent since it started using Snapchat, the company said.
