I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at H&M (Melbourne) in Jul 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)
The interview process was straightforward. I first completed a phone interview, followed by an in-person interview. The questions focused on my work experience, personal style, and how I would fit the role overall.
I interviewed at H&M (Bletchley, England) in Jul 2026
Interview
In the group interview, the people seemed very nervous and anxious throughout. We did some tasks, including answering questions that required presentation and picking clothes from the menswear for different vague scenarios.

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.
