Home Depot hiring spouses of military personnel
Posted by Douglas Eisenhart at 5:22 PM

Here is one of the more original hiring policies I have seen, coming from a firm that is not afraid to wear its patriotism on its sleeve. After a national ad campaign touting their employees who were competing in the summer Olympics, Atlanta-based The Home Depot has now announced that they will be hiring spouses of those in the military:

The Home Depot Inc. is recruiting the spouses of military personnel in the latest hiring initiative between the nation's largest home improvement chain and the government.

Home Depot, which averages a new store opening every 48 hours, said its effort with the Defense Department also will involve hiring more veterans, active duty service members about to be discharged, National Guard members, and reservists.
