The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Hackettstown, NJ) in Mar 2012
Interview
I applied online after seeing banners in the stores promoting employment opportunities. One day after I applied I received a message telling me to call a 1-866-xxx-xxxx number. I called and was directed to a staffing center associate who asked me 3 interview type questions and then said I may be hearing from them. One week later I received another phone message to call and was prompted to schedule an interview with extremely limited time slots.
I arrived for the interview as scheduled, but the hiring manager was busy with other applicants so another departmental floor manager took control and interviewed me. He asked me one question and said I answered all the questions he was supposed to ask. We spent more than an hour talking about our past experiences in project management. I presume my interview experience was not typical.

I applied online for several different positions and stores and go a call from a regional office a week or two later. It was an easy and straight forward interview on the phone and i was scheduled for an interview with a local store. From there it was basic questions and a drug and background check. I got a call several weeks later for a job offer.

The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Colorado Springs, CO) in Mar 2012
Interview
I applied online, completed a skills test and personality test. I was called in for an interview. The interview lasted only 10 minutes but I waited 20 in the break room before the interview because the manager was running late with store duties. A few questions was asked because I held the position that they were trying to fill in the past at another location. I took a drug test and submitted a background test and passed both but declined the offer when they decided to pay me less than what I ever made at two other stores. I asked why and the reply was "The economy is really bad we can't afford that anymore".
