I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at H&M in Mar 2022
Interview
I was applying for h&m home. The interview was a bit hard (or I was just not so well prepared). They really asked questions like "what are your strengths and weaknesses" and to tell about yourself. after 15 quite long minutes, the interview was taken to the floor, where you actually had to interact with customers. they gave you a scenario, and you had to help the customer to find the right object for their home and convince them about it. It was a bit odd as I've never had an interview like this
Short and snappy. Very easy process and straightforward and very friendly. Phone call and in person interview with hiring manager. decided to decline because I had another offer at a different company.
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.
