Should we say "McDonalds are recruiting" or "McDonalds is recruiting"?

The answer depends on where you are (British and US usage differ).

So whats correct on GMAT?

I guess it should be "is". "McDonald's" is the name of the joint.

As others have said, it is the US usage--corporations are singular.

It depends on whether you meant McDonald's or McDonalds'.

If you are referring to one restaurant or the collective entity (i.e. corporate), then you should use is.

If you are referring to multiple restaurants, then you should use are.
