Chipotle looks for these 13 qualities in every job candidate

Chipotle is going on a hiring spree next week.

The burrito chain, which saw sales rise 27% last year, plans to hire 4,000 employees with open interviews at every one of its locations on Sept. 9.

But that doesn't mean Chipotle will hire just anyone.

The company says it looks for a very specific set of 13 qualities in its new hires.

Candidates must be conscientious, smart, polite, motivated, ambitious, curious, honest, respectful, hospitable, high-energy, infectiously enthusiastic, happy, and presentable, Chipotle spokeswoman Danielle Winslow told the Staten Island Advance.

"It is always more important for us to hire people on these characteristics rather than solely on a job description," Winslow told the newspaper. "We can teach people their jobs, but these characteristics can't be taught."

Chipotle's hourly pay is about $9, according to Glassdoor. The chain recently started offering paid sick days and college tuition reimbursement to its hourly employees.
