The interview process was very efficient and transparent, giving me a clear picture of the role and what they are looking for to advance. I really enjoyed how the whole thing went: a thorough phone screening with HR, some great and engaging phone chats with the district and general managers, and then a detailed on-site interview to explore the career path more.

It was pretty long and kinda boring. They asked some basic questions, plus some about values and past experiences. Like, tell me about a time you went the extra mile. And what integrity means to you.

When interviewing for any role at Fastenal, the process isn't super fast. First, HR does a quick 5-10 minute phone screen. Then, you'll have formal interviews. The first formal interview is with the leadership at the specific location you're applying to. The second one is with a district manager or someone in higher management. After accepting a job offer, a drug screen is required before a start date can be set. This whole thing can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on the job.
