I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Redlands, CA)
Interview
Two interviews conducted by Asst General Managers, if you make it through them you interview with the GM. The setup was ridiculously obvious, three guys over 40 and a young gun (who the GM walked out to the floor to show him around). I think they have an N+2 policy, so I think we were basically interview fodder. Only asked a couple questions, one manager actually kept looking at his phone and the other looked like his dog died the entire time. If it was a serious interview there would have been many more probing questions. We did get a logo'd swag bag, I sat it on the steps for an HD associate to pick up. I was warned about the "orange politics" but decided to try anyway.
