I applied in-person. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Decathlon (Lyon) in Jan 2015
Interview
Entetien classique, pas de question piège : motivations pour le poste, pourquoi cette entreprise, valeurs. Entretien avec le responsable de rayon voire avec un autre collaborateurs (responsable ou vendeur). Les personnes de l'entreprise se présentent avec leur parcours, leurs spécialités (sport) et ensuite c'est au candidat de se présenter. Viennent ensuite les questions sur le profil du candidat, ses motivations, la cohérence de son projet avec les besoins de l'entreprise etc.
Unico colloquio in cui c’è stato un cultural fit check ed alcune domande situazionali. Il tutto è durato circa 1 ora. Sono stati professionali e mi hanno messo a mio agio.
Rather easy, be honest and tell them what division you prefer. For full-time you will work in shifts and only have 1 weekend free per month. Already practicing a sport and knowing the basic equipment is a big plus
The interview process took around 1h but went very smoothly. Hiring manager was nice even though sometimes asked some tricky questions (but I mean, it's part of the process). Overall I would consider it average.
