I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Primark (London, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
Quite straight forward - Questions around how you would manage in typical retail scenarios and why you would be fit for the role. Usually 2 person panel.
Recruitment process only takes a few weeks if that.
