Kiosks Help Depot FillJobs

Confronted with an employee shortage, Home Depot has installed computer kiosks in their stores enabling customers to apply for work when they shop.

The Atlanta-based retailing giant has placed kiosks in highly visible areas in every one of its stores. As candidates complete the application, they are screened by the computer, which requests that successful applicants remain for an interview.

According to several managers, the automation has not only quickened the application process, but has helped attract a better class ofcandidates.
