I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Primark in Jul 2016
Interview
Watched the company video, then had a presentation about the interview process, then had a 1:1 interview lasting about 20 minutes
It was a very structured process as there was a lot of us (30+) to get interviewed.
Emailed back a week later to be offered the job.
