I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Abercrombie & Fitch (Vancouver, BC) in Jul 2024
Interview
Applied online and first stage is a video interview you submit in your own time.
Very basic questions that there isn't really a right or wrong answer to. So not sure how I didn't make it to the next stage as I was qualified. Feels like a cop out way for them to weed out people they don't like the look of without them needing to put in any effort.
Was apprehensive to apply from reading other people's Glassdoor reviews and this experience proved those people right and wasted my time.

I applied online. I interviewed at Abercrombie & Fitch
Interview
Passed the HireVue, went in person and had an interview with 2 store managers, and then finally had another one with the district manager & store manager. Each interview asked similar questions and was fairly easy. The district manager had trust issues and did not want to hire someone with a college degree because they might leave once offered something better.

Question 1
Why do you want to work here?
Why are you a good fit for this position?
What does diversity mean to you?
Tell me about yourself?
What's a current fashion trend?
How would you upsell something?
How would you deal with a difficult customer?
How would you motivate your team if they are not meeting goals?
The first step was one of those automated ones where you record your answers to prompts. There was no human being talking to you which is fine it is just something that is difficult to get used to.
