I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IKEA (Edmonton, AB) in Jul 2020
Interview
I was head hunted and invited to a 30 minute career discussion about an HR role. We spoke for about 40-45 minutes. It was a mix of questions, discussions and comparisons to my current employer. Recruiter asked some relevant questions but spent too much time telling me how he didn't like the vibe of where I worked post covid and spent the better part of 10 minutes explaining that the benefits I currently have were not all that important because they couldn't match them so I should really value what they did offer.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at IKEA (Rome) in May 2025
Interview
Ho fatto due colloqui per lo più motivazionali e conoscitivi ma non sono passata alla fase successiva, quindi non so se nelle altre fasi vengano richieste competenze più tecniche. In ogni caso l'ambiente è informale e si dà molta importanza alla personalità del candidato e alle sue motivazioni a prendere parte alla realtà aziendale
