THD MET team Complaints - pre-selecting interviewies

pre-selecting interviewies
Complaint Rating:  50 % with 4 votes
Company information:
The Home Depot/MET team
northern, AR southern, MO , Arkansas
United States

Friend of mine was interviewing for a job. He was against 3 other people. One was his daughter-in-law. They were interviewing for a job as the Merchandising Execution Team store supervisor in store 1410 in Mt. Home, AR. Even though he was obviously more qualified than any one else interviewing he did not get the job. I dont know if he was not selected b/c he had been very sick and had been out of work for over a third of the year, or if they are guilty of ageism(which is not selecting applicant b/c of his or her age.) Home Depot has been guilty in the past of pre-selecting applicants (i know from experience) so it is no doubt in my mind that the interview does not mean JACK. They obviously had their choice from the beginning. THIS JOB INTERVIEW AND HOME DEPOT SHOULD REALLY THINK BEFORE THEY WASTE PEOPLES TIME AND EFFORTS. GIVING THEM HOPE THAT THEY'RE GONNA GET A JOB WHEN THERE IS ALREADY A PRE-SELECTED APPLICANT SHAME ON HOME DEPOT FOR ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN.

Who is to say that one person is more qualified than the next? Were you in the interview with each and every person who applied? I don't think so. I understand that it may appear that "ageism" as you put it could have been a factor, but the fact of the matter is that Home Depot may or may not hire anyone that they want. Also the job description for that position has many drawbacks for someone "older" that may become a hardship for them. The MET team is in charge of most of the resets in the store.. movement of product, movement of beams and requires some strenuous activities. I am not saying that your friend was not qualified, but maybe the hiring staff at The Home Depot felt that he was.

Saying that a company discriminates against anyone on a public forum is not the best way to handle the situation either. There are many customer service lines and HR lines available if your friend feels that he has been slighted. I would suggest he go that route if he has questions as to why he did not receive the job he applied for. Of course that is just my opinion...

Home Depot is all about the interview. it doesnt matter how qualified or unqualified the person is...if they bomb the interview, they are not going to get the job and thats just how it is. maybe you should research the way home depot works before you try to critisize one of the biggest companies in our country.

I agree with Jco626. You should know more about a company before you post such things about them on a board like this. Home Depot is like any other company, they aren't perfect, but all in all it's a good company to work for. If you compare it to most other retail businesses, you will find more happy employees than you will anywhere else.

Home Depot does not discriminate on age. I am a 53 year old woman and was just hired for the MET team.

I work for the Northern Virginia District MET. Within the team, we have an associate who is well over 60, and the old guy definitely exerts himself. Furthermore, as a team that goes from store to store, I have see numerous associates who are senior citizens. jlh281, your argument doesnt hold any water.

I was not saying that Home Depot does not hire older people, I was just saying that is there choice on who they hire. There are several older associates in the store in which I work and most of them do a fantastic job. I was just saying that it is not right to say Home Depot does not hire older people or that they would discriminate based on age.

According to SOP, if the associate can pick up and carry 50 pounds they can get the job. If a 50 year old man cant left that then they can't get the job. If a 70 year old woman CAN left that then they have a better chance to get the job then the 50 year old man. Work load is everything to the hiring MEMs of MET. If a (20 year old) kid can not handle the work load then guess what... no job on the MET. Get your head out of certain areas of your body and if you have a problem with MET call your HR rep.
