Quite straightforward, 3 rounds (screening, hiring manager, hiring manager and senior manager) and they ensure you feel supported throughout the process.
The problem with this role is that it aimed to get a new way of thinking outside the industry, however, they prefer the traditional H&M ways.
I was informed that I nailed the interview but they chose an internal candidate, as she already has knowledge about the company.
It seems as an unfair competitive point, as no external applicant will be able to fulfill this criterion.
H&M posts a lot of openings but many of them are filled with internal applicants, as some workers say.
Although I enjoyed the process and getting to know my interviewers, the final decision shows internal preferentialism and reluctancy to work with new people.
Another critical point is the length of the process from application to outcome (Dec- March). A lot of internal delays. Given the fact that they usually chose internal applicants, it isn't mindful about applicants' time and expectations.
