I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CDW in Jan 2012
Interview
After applying I was called by a HR recruiter and scheduled a phone interview. The interview only lasted 15 minutes. She asked how I heard about the company, what I think that they do (odd question to ask), to name a time that I had faced rejection, to name a time that I had taken the initiative for something, what I will bring to the company, how I feel when I am rejected, and why I think that I will be a successful employee. She told me that she was going to review her notes and let me know tomorrow morning if I will be taking the next step. I don't feel like she got a good picture of who I am and she was a little rude. She told me that I didn't fully answer one of her questions even though I did so I had to repeat myself.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CDW
Interview
Very fast process. A recruiter reached out to me and we had a phone interview a few days later. The recruiter was very friendly and asks questions to get to know you and also gave information about the position. After that a one on one interview is scheduled that it is way more thorough. Do your homework because the questions are very specific and be prepared for "what would you do in this situation" type of questions. I took the time to prepare and it went very well. Sales manager was super friendly!
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at CDW (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2017
Interview
I applied online and passed 20 minute assessment test online. The very next day I was contacted by the Recruiter of CDW and we scheduled a phone interview for the next day. The phone interview lasted about 40 minutes and included standard behavioral questions. The Recruiter with the name Dione was polite and helpful at certain moments. Although I was not invited for the in-person interview, the overall experience was very useful for my future employment search.
