Interview
The process was a three step interview: the first one was on the phone, and then the second was in person with two management employees. The last interview was with two different managers who then gave me an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Try to sell me this item? (I had to sell an ice cream cone but it could be anything they sell)
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at IKEA in Jul 2015
Interview
Applied to new store online, herd back within a week. Had a phone interview that was about 20 mins that basically asked, "tell me about a time where...." and "where do you see yourself in 5 years?" and "Why Ikea?" simple stuff. I passed the phone interview and was invited to attend the 2 hour group interviews. This was the ridiculous part. First was a 25 minute, 10 question round with someone that will work in the store or some in H&R, same questions as the phone interview. After that section we had to watch videos about home furnishing and Swedish Meatballs, that was 25 mins. Then they sent the group back up to do another 25 min Q&A round with someone else. Again, same questions. I passed because they did a VERY extensive and quite intrusive work background and criminal check and wanted a drug test. I completed everything and was offered a job, however turned the offer down because of my schedule.
