Know what it looks for.

Home Depot is the world's largest home improvement retailer, operating more than 2,000 stores across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico and serving roughly half of the $1 trillion U.S. home improvement market. Founded in 1979 by Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank, the company is known for its servant leadership "inverted pyramid" culture, a near-religious focus on customer service through the 8 core values of the Value Wheel, and one of retail's most aggressive Pro/B2B and AI strategies (Magic Apron, Sidekick, SRS Distribution, GMS). Home Depot interviews are heavily behavioral, structured around Korn Ferry competencies and THD values, with a strong emphasis on customer obsession, ownership, and culture fit — making thoughtful preparation essential for both store and corporate candidates.
