Home Depot Recruiter


Has anyone been called by a recruiter for Home Depot? I was called, and talked to a fellow for a while. He is going to call me when I am next to my computer and I will be given a pass word to access a site. He did ask a few questions, like, was I insured, and how many people worked for me, also he asked if I ever was convicted. I told him that I have a crime free past, and could pass a pee test. Just wondering if anyone has been there or done that.


Happy Painting, Paul.

Not I, but I would welcome the call. I would have a lot of fun before he hung up on me.

I filled out an application there when they first opened the local branch.
When I told them how much I had to make ,they filed it..........in the trash!

Re: Home Depot Recruiter


Thanks for the comments. I decided against 1, loosing my money, 2, loosing my identity, 3 loosing my own time at $10/ hour in their store. I am OK . Thanks guys. Happy painting, Paul.

These were questions from a cold call? That's balls, asking for that kind of information when you didn't even initiate the interview.
