I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Home Depot in Feb 2011
Interview
Fairly straight forward hiring process. Begins online with basic info, skills, personality test, and basic IQ check. If that all checks out, a call center will call, ask a few more questions and verify info. Of course, if that all goes well, the HR at the store will call to schedule interview. Interview also fairly simple. Either the department manager will interview if they are available, if not the next manager in line will, if they aren't available, the HR manager will interview. If initial interview goes well, you will interview with the store manager. If that goes well you will be given directions to drug test and schedule orientation. As far as the attitude they're looking for, I'd say "Motivated" and "Self Starter" (As in you don't need a manager around to keep you working.) would be things to keep in mind.
I interviewed at The Home Depot (Yucca Valley, CA)
Interview
Easy, quick and simple. Dress nicely and be prepared to answer a series of questions pertaining to both the Home Depot and past employers. You will also be asked about your availability during your interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2026
Interview
Online interview / pre-screening consisted of basic questions like: what's your experience with technology? When's a time you worked in a team? What's your availability? At the end, they say whether you are fit for an in person interview or not and they will set it up for you
Simple interview with the woman who ran the HR department at our store. Basic behavioral questions and then questions about my availability and work preferences. Overall the interview was very easy and was just there to screen for professional responses.
