      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at H&M (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Jan 2014

      Interview

      The hiring process took nearly 3 months. Applied for the job at the end of October and got the final interview in mid-January. It was composed of 5 steps: 1. Telephone interview with HR (30 min): basic questions such as "Why H&M?", "What should be the main strength of a BC?", "What is a BC at H&M?",... 2. 3 capacity tests: one numerical test (basic maths), one logical test (quite simple) and one test dealing with a stressful situation (emails to answer) 3. 3 30-minute interviews at the head office: a personality one, a CV one and a "live cases" one - personality interview: with HR, going a bit deeper in your motivation and your fit with the job and with the values of H&M, "main strengths?", example of situation in which you had a leader role, your dealing with different work situation (conflict, not able to meet deadlines, etc...) - CV interview: with 2 BCs, about your previous work experiences - Live cases: with a BC, questions like "How many pieces do a H&M store sell per day?", "3 advices to CEO", "how to best improve sales?" and cases with numbers 4. EQ and personality tests + interview with an external supplier (not H&M employees) to discuss results 5. Final interview with Head of Controlling + a Division Controller: a bit informal, with global questions such as "what are your plan if you get this job?", "what is the role of a BC?", ...

      Question 1

      I did not find it was a tough hiring process, each recruiter was really friendly and the questions asked were quite "easy" to answer with a good preparation before. What struck me the most was the negative answer at the end of the recruitment process ! The recruiter told me I did not have enough work experience, I found this reason a bit weak, but there is a lot of competition !

      Multiple stages of interview, long process. It starts with an initial screening by HR. Then up to 4 rounds with hiring manager, then technical interview and third one is cross functional. There is sometimes a fourth and final one with HR. The interviews may also involve presentations, case studies and analytical tests.

      Interview

      Application ~ Assessment which I did well in but got no interview invite despite this. I think it’s unfortunate we spend lots of time to prepare for an assessment when we don’t get considered despite doing well and meeting all requirements

      I interviewed at H&M (Stockholm, Stockholm)

      Interview

      First you had to do logical and personality testing through AON. Second a HR interview with a focus on your past experiences. Then if you pass this you go through to the next stage meeting business controllers and doing one more personality interview and a case interview.
