I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IKEA in May 2018
Interview
After applying online, i received a phone call about a week later. The phone call was basically a mini interview asking me questions about IKEA and my flexibility etc. I was then invited to an assessment activity. I got there and i was placed in a group. We had to pick an object and re brand it and sell it to about 10 IKEA staff members as a group. We then had to come up with positives and negatives of customer service . Then we got a general run through of the company. We were then assigned a staff member and got taken to go and have a formal interview. The whole day took just under 2 hours. I got told i would be contacted within 10 days whether i was successful or not, however its been 10 days and ive heard nothing back!
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at IKEA (Bengaluru) in Jun 2026
Interview
It was an exclusive interview with people invited from two colleges. The number of applicants was over 25. We had basic introductions, a GD and an interview afterwards. My interviewers were polite though same was not the case for other people.
