I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at H&M (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied online and after that I was offered a half an hour phone interview. In the next step I had to do 3 tests. One logical, one numerical and one where i should delegate e-mails. After that i was invited to a day at the headquarters in Stockholm. The day started with H&M talking about the company and the roll as business controller. After that we had 3 interviews(CV, Personal and case) on 30 minutes each. I didn't make it any further after that but they told us that the next step was a personality test and a final interview.

Interview
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.
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
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.
