I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Aritzia (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2018
Interview
casual conversation based interview. Interviewed in store after being approached by one of the staff members. Simple interview with another retail associate at the back of the store by the changing rooms.
The interview went in two phases; a meet and greet, which was an informal interview in order for the hiring manager to get a "vibe check" and a second interview which is much like any other retail store interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at Aritzia (Vancouver, BC) in Aug 2025
Interview
An informal chat in a store with a recruiter. Basic questions about why you applied to the role, why Aritzia, etc. with a couple behavioural questions. Also, know your availability and desired wage. The recruiter was very friendly, but I didn't make it to the hiring manager round.
Straightforward and felt like an average conversation. Asked about experience and how I would deal with certain situations in store. A good balance between personal and professional questions. No need to worry at all.
