I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at H&M (Dallas, TX) in Apr 2012
Interview
Went to an open house that was also held in 2 other cities which was basically open interviews. I was taken in for my interview right away. The interview consisted mainly of basic questions you would expect at a retail job, but I suggest you do a bit of research on the company. I did and I'm pretty sure that got me some brownie points. I then was told they would get with me within 8-10 days and that I should also apply online if I haven't done so. I did that and bout 5 days later, I received the dreaded email stating I did not get the job. Then about 2 days after that, I received a phone call from a manager at one of the locations I had applied for. She asked me if I would like to come in for a "meet and greet" the following week. I arrived to the store on time and waited for about 15-20 minutes for the manager. The environment in the store seemed a bit chaotic, even though there weren't many customers.. Once the manager greeted me, she seemed a bit flustered, we went out to the food court of the mall where she immediately offered me the job. She said she would call me again the following week to let me know when I could come in to begin training. The hiring process took a bit longer than I would have liked, but everyone's friendliness and enthusiasm to have me work for them made up for it.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at H&M in Jul 2010

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at H&M (Madison, WI) in Mar 2012
Interview
Intiatially, had a phone interview followed by a in person interview a few days later. The in person interview went well and they decided to set me up with a third interview a few days later. In the third interview, they requested to perform a background check and told me I would receive a phone call from them a few weeks later. I received an email from H&M a few days later stating that they were no longer interested in employing me. Over two weeks later, I received a call requesting a fourth interview which ended up being a job offer. By this time, I had accepted employment elsewhere and mentioned this to the manager interviewing me. The manager then stated that they would be more than happy to work with my schedule as long as I could somehow work until close on the weekends and that they would allow me to contact my current employer to see if I would be able to satisfy both jobs. My current employer allowed me to do so, so I called H&M and gave them the hours that I would be able to work and was told they would call me back within the day. Four days later, I finally called them, only to find out that in order to work there I would need open availabilty on the weekends as well as the rest of the week. Out of every job I've ever applied for, H&M has the worst hiring process I have ever seen or witnessed!
