Home Depot to hire more than 70,000 for spring

The Home Depot plans to head into spring full throttle, according to a recent press release. The company has begun recruiting to fill more than 70,000 seasonal positions as it prepares for its busiest selling and hiring season.

“Just as the Christmas rush and holiday hiring ends for many retailers, we begin recruiting for spring seasonal associates to help customers during our busiest selling season,” said Tim Crow, executive vice president for human resources. “And a seasonal job at The Home Depot can often lead to a regular position if you're passionate about customer service.”

The Home Depot will also usher in the season with door-buster prices on hundreds of spring products, including a variety of live goods and lawn care, outdoor power, eco-friendly gardening products, patio and grills.
