I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fastenal (Miami, FL) in Aug 2017
Interview
I applied on the website and received a call a day later for a phone screen. I was asked about my experience, if I would work overtime, if I had any special training related to the position and if I would be willing to relocate if promoted. Had a followup call a few days later and was asked the same questions.
The followup call consisted mostly of the interviewer repeating the concept about how a good candidate needs to "want it" to be a good fit. After that, I was told that an internal candidate would preferred to fill the position and that there were positions available at other locations, but I would need to go back to the website to apply for each location.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fastenal (Evans, GA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Three tier interview system, went smooth very nice and insightful went for full time role and got offered part time role. They do say most part time roles will turn full time after a few months but still debating on working there due to the low pay they offer which is a very big con for someone trying to find work out of college.
I applied online. I interviewed at Fastenal (St. John's, NL) in Jan 2026
Interview
I applied online, then received an invitation for a phone interview. A few days later, I got a call from the branch office to schedule an in-person interview. I didn’t receive an offer because I don’t have a full driver’s license.

Question 1
What do you know about Fastenal? How did you apply to this position? What kind of experience do you have for this role? Do you have a driver’s licence?
The process was quick and easy if you show want to be good. They look for key characteristics. But also things change very quick here. So be prepared for things to take a turn for the worse sometimes.
