I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Home Depot Canada (Burnaby, BC) in Mar 2015
Interview
Job fair: 5 minute interview, with an HR rep. (Three open ended behavioral questions)
1 Month later, I was called for instore interview: 40 minutes long, with store manager. (Six open ended experience /costumer interaction questions that asked for detailed examples)
4 days later, I was called for HR interview, which provided a formal job offer. (Asked me 1. Why Home Depot? 2. What do you see yourself doing in the future (say staying there, advancing, be honest!) 3. Do you have any questions for me? It is always a good to have questions to ask that are positive in tone.

I applied online. I interviewed at Home Depot Canada (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Initially, received a phone interview with a recruiter at Home Depot. Next, I received an invitation to come into the head office to interview with the hiring manager. There was also a second round of interviews with the director.
Most questions are behavioural based with the expectation that you answer with situation, action and results.
Ran out of space for interview questions. Additional ones include:
1. How would you rate your Microsoft Office expertise?
2. If I was to talk to your previous managers, what would they say are your strengths and weaknesses?

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Home Depot Canada
Interview
The interviewers asked questions that were very though provoking. They asked a lot of very technical, systematic questions, wanting to know specifically HOW processes were done at past companies. They wanted lots of examples on times you had to do things above and beyond the scope of your past roles when you were not asked.
