I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Fastenal (Houston, TX) in Jan 2016
Interview
Relaxed and basic questions. Face to face at back of the store. Didn't last longer than maybe 30 minutes. If you show them you like to succeed, work hard, and make money, you'll fit in.
I applied online. I interviewed at Fastenal (Saint Louis, MO) in Apr 2022
Interview
Apply for the job then have 2 interviews. 1st is with the direct boss then 2nd is with HR. Not a difficult process but sometimes time-consuming. A fair process is being used. They do get back to you if you're not picked.
I applied online. I interviewed at Fastenal (Leitchfield, KY) in Feb 2022
Interview
A couple of rounds of interview. Really common questions. Interviews were done by different people. First the district manager then the regional. The regional manager was much more involved and had less questions coming off of the list.

What will be your strategy looking into this role.
