I interviewed at Hollister Co. (Dartford, England) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview was online and I never spoke to a person. Questions came on the screen and you a few minutes to think of your answers and then record it. You could only retake once. They took about a month to send a rejection email.

I interviewed at Hollister Co. (Liverpool, England)
Interview
It was a pre recorded interview with an option for the applicant to record their video responses to the questions. There were about 8 to 10 questions. You could only add one response per question and there was a time limit too.
It was a group interview with a handful of candidates in the stock section at the back of the store. A assistant manager conducted the interview and asked everyone a series of questions.
Online application and then after many weeks receieved a virtual interview request. I was able to find the questions on Reddit and they were the exact ones. A pre recorded video would ask the questions, count down from three and then you'd have only 2 minutes to reply. No time to think, or re record if you mess up.
