I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at H&M (Melbourne) in July 2018
Interview
Conducted as group interview; recruitment managers assess the level of your people skills through ice-breaker activities, group discussions, as well knowledge behind the company's history and values
Second component involves more customer service role-playing; interviewees are made to reenact a typical morning/opening shift at H&M in 20 minutes (this entails allocation of items, following 'manager's' orders behind merchandising of products, as well as engaging with make-believe customers)
I applied online. I interviewed at H&M (Fairfax, VA)
Interview
Great process and team, connecting with everyone felt very easy. I had some behavioral questions and some about my experience. Ultimately they decided to move forward with someone else. I would recommend giving it a try.
Very easy interview with one other person who applied. Asked about how you might handle a difficult customer, who you are, etc. Second interview was basically just the job offer and signing papers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you handle a difficult customer? What is one thing you noticed in our store that you would improve?
It's a group interview and in mine there were x4 other people. We introduced ourselves and got split into teams to complete a task on their values. Then we were split into different teams and were given a hypothetical customer who wanted help with their outfit - we had to create an outfit accordingly therefore roamed around the store to find clothing items that fit the brief. Afterwards, we explained why we chose those clothes and then were asked x2 competency-based questions.
