Has anyone been called by a recruiter for Home Depot? I was called, and talked to a fellow for a while. He is going to call me when I am next to my computer and I will be given a pass word to access a site. He did ask a few questions, like, was I insured, and how many people worked for me, also he asked if I ever was convicted. I told him that I have a crime free past, and could pass a pee test. Just wondering if anyone has been there or done that.


Happy Painting, Paul.:thumbup:

They called me a few months ago asking the same questions. Wanted to know if a was interested in subbing for HP. I had no interest in pursuing that career move.

Hey Paul

Just be ready to become a home depot "employee". If you have a name for your company, be ready to throw that out the window, put their shirt on and represent only them. No matter what they tell you, you will not be a true subcontractor like we have in the trades. They will control your every move and you may not like it. PLUS...you have to use only their paints and supplies, you know....the stuff that breaks after 1 use ...

Just some tips...I've read a lot about them and talked with them myself.

I believe PDCA was sued by Home Depot because of an article published by PDCA. Home Depot lost the suit and the article is still online. You may find it of interest:

Hey guys, thanks for the info. I just don't think that this gig is for me. I don't have 3K to put out, and don't see giving the management 24% of what I make. Just seems like a scam. Thanks a Bunch, Paul.

Paul, you are absolutely right. think of how much marketing you can do for 24%. Or equipment you could buy, or...
