I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot in Oct 2014
Interview
First I was called by their automated system and I was given a preliminary interview in which everything I said was typed and most likely sent to the location. Then I went in for my first interview with one of the Asst Managers. The interview was very structured and every potential hire are skied the questions. I was then called for an interview with the store manager. I was asked why I wanted to work at The Home Depot and then we began discussing pay, my position, and orientation. The interview with the store manager really wasn't much of an interview, it was more of letting me know that I got the job.

I applied online via their website. I scheduled an interview with HR onsite then after a brief interview was told I got the job. Orientation was low stress but lots of video trainings.

Application was easy and I heard back within a few weeks. The interview was an easy conversation face to face with the hiring manager and then a conversation with the head of the department that you're interviewing for.
