I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at HD Supply (Flower Mound, TX) in Apr 2015
Interview
Interview with Branch manager, 2nd with regional director and HR Manager. The most difficult was to know what they were looking for. They were looking for a specific type of personality. The Company is undergoing changes from the VP, to local level of leadership
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how I handled associates that did not meet performance expectations.
Phone screen- basic 1st phone interview. Recruiter was very rude, condescending and unprofessional. Conversation started with the recruiter stating she only had a few min's to talk?
Have never come across anything like that...
The interview is extremely structured with questions predetermined by HR. There are not a lot of challenging questions, but they are mostly situational which means you need to be ready to speak to your past experiences.

Question 1
Give me an example of a time that you have had to deal with a difficult associate, how did you deal with the situation, and what was the result?
I applied in-person. I interviewed at HD Supply (Beaverton, OR) in Sep 2016
Interview
it was formal and encouraging. I felt welcome and able to be myself without the tension or nervousness. I enjoyed the process. I will say that the process was one of the easier interviews I have been involved in.
