Job seekers can now complete their applications for Chipotle Mexican Grill on their mobile devices.

Chipotle has teamed up with Jibe to launch a web-based mobile application program that runs on smartphones and tablets.

Chipotle began using the mobile application app in early October. In the first week of use, mobile applications accounted for 20 percent of incoming job applications, a total of roughly 5,000 applications. Applicants can apply for any open position at Chipotle using their mobile device, including restaurant or corporate positions. Jobs can be sorted by location (to the individual restaurant level) or functional area. Using the location services in a mobile device, users can find available positions closest to them. Applicants can pull their information from a LinkedIn profile, or users can upload a resume using their mobile device.

"We are always looking to find top-performing candidates for jobs in our restaurants, and support departments," said Monty Moran, co-CEO of Chipotle, in a company press release. "To get the very best applicants, it's important to be accessible using the platforms that people are using. Increasingly, that means mobile."
