Taco Bell, the fast-food Mexican chain, said that it will fill 50,000 jobs by the end of the summer, just in May they plan to create 3,500 new jobs.
The hiring spree is part of a previously-announced plan to create about 100,000 U.S. jobs over the next five years through an additional 8,000 U.S. locations.
“Last year we announced our commitment to hire 100,000 new team members in our system by 2022,” said Brian Niccol, Chief Executive Officer at Taco Bell. “We are now taking that commitment to the next level with recruiting and employment programs to help us and our franchisees invest in our employees, and their experience, in significant ways.”
The company is looking to make this process even better for current and potential employees through its newly launched partnership with Roadtrip Nation, a program that captures stories of current and former employees through the online platform, Share Your Road.

That starts by showcasing the diverse pathways in the Taco Bell system and celebrating employees’ achievements, which we’re doing by shining a spotlight on some of Taco Bell’s most impressive young talent,” said Frank Tucker, Chief People Officer at Taco Bell.
