A high turnout of candidates was registered at Saturday's annual McDonald's Recruitment Drive, the company said.
The event was held at the Radisson SAS Baypoint Hotel, in St Julians, where more than 700 sixth formers, university students and other job hunters turned up to be interviewed.
McDonald's will be hiring over 250 new crew members from this event and this will take McDonald's Malta's total staff complement to over 750 employees, making it the largest quick service restaurant employer on the island.
Over the next few weeks the new recruits will be taking their positions in the eight McDonald's restaurants in Malta and Gozo.
