I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Hollister Co. (Chicago Ridge, IL) in Dec 2008
Interview
It was a pretty simple group interview. However they are moreso seeking applicants who are in their eyes "good-looking" and can represent the "Hollister" image which is a Southern California theme. The questions in the interview are meant to find out more about your personality to see whether or not you can adapt to the work environment in the company.
I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Hollister Co. (Glasgow, Scotland)
Interview
Group interview with around 6-8 people. Formulaic questions. Very easy to prepare, much info online about what questions they ask. Lasted about 30 minutes. They take your photo at the end.
Easy, basic questions. I do think there may be a bias towards some people but overall was a basic interview. Not sure how they run it now but my interview was done in the mall food court.
