I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at IKEA in Feb 2013
Interview
First, I received a five-minute telephone interview from HR, with general questions regarding experiences and ethical standards. I was informed that I would receive a call from the store's Human Resources department within a week. The call came in within 5 minutes of hanging up. Later that week, I engaged in an interview with HR, followed by one of the shopkeepers (department managers). After a drug test and ten days of waiting, I was offered the position.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at IKEA (Bengaluru) in Jun 2026
