I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Primark (Philadelphia, PA) in Nov 2015
Interview
First step is registering interest by phone or website. You create a profile. Then they schedule a phone interview. Then they send you an application form. Then you are invited to an in person interview with the hiring manager. At that interview the manager wlil tell you how long before you hear their decision.

They asked around four typical STAR interview questions that are simple to answer with prep and it lasted about ten to fifteen minutes. It was overall good and very relaxed.
