I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA in Jan 2015
Interview
I applied online and received a phone call from an IKEA recruiter about two weeks later for a phone screen. The phone screen went well and I was told that I would get a call from someone at the store within the next two weeks to schedule an in person interview. Just like the recruiter said I received a call from the Safety & Security manager at the store to schedule an interview. The first interview was with the Safety & Security manager and the person who would be training me. Both were very friendly and the interview was laid back. One week later I received a call from the HR manager to schedule a second interview which was going to be with her, which again was pretty laid back and friendly. A few days later I was offered the job and accepted. Drug test was completed at the store with HR and my manager, also filled out some paperwork.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were not really any difficult or unexpected questions during the interview process, just basic situation questions that pertain to the job you are applying for. If you have experience in the job you are applying for this makes it pretty easy.
2 part interview. First with corporate via phone call and second in face to face. Very laid back interview. Went on a tour of the store while they were going over the job.
Received an email from HR to schedule a phone interview about a week after applying.
She called & described the position, starting pay, etc. Checked with my availability & scheduled an in person interview with the safety & security manager.
I sat down with both the safety & security manager and another person who I assume was from HR. They were both very nice. The manager was professional & laid back. He asked a lot of general questions about my work experience while the HR rep seemed to be asking me questions to judge my character & see if I'd fit in.
