I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NIKE (New York, NY) in Mar 2016
Interview
Before the in-person group interview, there was a phone interview. Phone interview was a breeze if you are honest, open and cheerful. Group interview is also pretty easy. Just maintain being yourself, it doesn't matter if you are sports/fashion/brand savvy. They place larger emphasis on your attitude, how you handle customer interactions/tough situations involving customers and your overall ability to work on a (huge, but friendly) team. They can sense if you are sucking up, or trying to sell them ther brand as opposed to selling yourself (if that makes any sense). They were friendly, it was 4 potential employees and 3 hiring managers. Each take a turn asking you a question. There is a mini ice breaker in the beginning to help you feel a bit at ease.
Quick and easy, first round is about 15 minute HireVue interview with about 6 questions on retail experience. Its all recorded responses so it isn't super intimidating. Next would be the in person interviews which is more of getting to know your character.
It was a group setting very much not a 1v1. Try to stand out but positively, Show intent and practicality, and show you will be a great teammate to work with.
