A McDonald’s franchise in Florida wants to hire new workers, but the problem is no one is interested these days. The fast-food chain is definitely short in hand, and due to its desperation to have people come and apply for positions in the restaurant, it came up with a unique luring tactic.
It pays to apply for work
Definitely, it really pays to apply since one can be hired and have a source of income, but the McDonald’s in Florida has taken this phrase literally as it is really offering money to anyone who will come and have an interview for a job in the restaurant.
The Florida branch of the world-famous burger joint started offering a $50 incentive to individuals who will show up for an interview so it can be able to recruit more staff members, as per WTSP News. This just really shows that the struggle to hire new workers is real, and it is not just in the restaurant business.
But then again, even with the monetary benefit for job interviewees, it seems that this strategy to lure applicants is not enough as there was only a little change. This is because few people are showing up despite the offer.
“At this point, if we can’t keep our drive-thrus moving, then I’ll pay $50 for an interview,” the McDonald’s Florida franchise owner, Blake Casper, said. Someone also posted about the restaurant’s offer on social media, and it was shared many times.
Staff shortage problem across the states
Various businesses are really having a hard time finding new staff to fill the needs of their companies. Even if millions of Americans are currently unemployed, firms are still not getting applicants for new hires.
FOX Business reported that the main reason why people don’t want to go out and apply for a job is because they are afraid of contracting and spreading COVID-19 infection. Business owners lamented that even if they have sent out text messages, offer signing bonuses, and find workers through referrals, none of these methods work to get new staff. Finally, the pandemic has significantly instilled fear in people, so most of them are now relying on unemployment benefits from the government.
