I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Decathlon (Montecatini-Terme) in Sept 2019
Interview
First you get a call from the interviewer asking if you are itnerested in exploring the possibility of working for Decathlon and also asking some general questions about sports, passions, and the like. Once at the in-person interview, you are alone with the store manager or deputy. I was asked the same initial questions asked over the phone and then asked whether or not I was a student and what my job intentions were. After that they "tested" me by asking me how I would solve an organizational problem of a new collection proposed by the store. Specifically where I would relocate this collection being in between two types of sports. I gave my argometric answer and they let me out right after that. As they walked me to the door, I was asked more questions always related to my expectations and ambitions, I guess to see if I was serious about working for them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Studies? - Do you want to study? - What sport do you play or are you passionate about? - Are you flexible about working hours? - What do you think about Decathlon? - Would you know how to solve this problem? (related to the problem mentioned above)
The interview process took around 1h but went very smoothly. Hiring manager was nice even though sometimes asked some tricky questions (but I mean, it's part of the process). Overall I would consider it average.
I applied online. I interviewed at Decathlon (Milan) in May 2026
Interview
Mi hanno chiesto i vari aspetti della mia vita includendo domande che facessero comprendere a chi mi stava facendo il colloquio come ragionassi, tra cui anche eventi specifici a cui dovevo rispondere.
svolgimento di una prima chiamata conoscitiva tramite risorse umane seguita poi da un colloquio in sede con due figure responsabili di vendita e incaricati delle assunzioni. Molto poco tecnico e basato più su una impressione di facciata e personalità più che da vere competenze o esperienze precedenti
