I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fastenal (Dayton, OH) in Mar 2015
Interview
The interview process was pretty laid back, but also meaningful in the fashion that the manager seemed to care about my past work experiences and how they would translate into the position that I was being interviewed for. The process was a success and I felt it gave me a good feeling about the company moving forward with accepting the position after they offered me it.

Phone interview with recruiter then in person interview with GM and AM. First "question" was the GM pushing a copy of the job description at me and asking me to read it because he wanted to make sure I knew what job I applied to because he thought maybe it was a mistake. Humiliating experience.
