H&M made a first screening of applicants and picked some interesting ones that was forwarded to a recruitment firm. They conducted a telephone interview with a strong focus on why I applied for the specific positon and why it would be interesting to work at H&M. After that they organized an assessment day on their Headquarters with interviews and "live case solving".
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was quite difficult to respond to the "live cases" during the interview although they weren't that complex. Generally they are related to the stores and to calculate efficiency, cost savings or something similar.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at H&M
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.
