I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at IKEA (Singapour) in Feb 2023
Interview
Applied for a Team Leader role with IKEA Tampines and was contacted about a week later by their HR Generalist and we agreed to have a call in the afternoon but she did not call as promised during the scheduled time. I then messaged her and she did not reply too. Only received a message at about 40 minutes after the promised time that she was in a meeting that overran. I mean she could have just dropped me a message earlier to let me know that she couldn't make it on time for the scheduled call right?
It was really unprofessional on her part and I don't recommend anyone applying to roles in IKEA Tampines if they are all handled like this considering this application was for a Team Leader role and their staff can already be this unprofessional with regards to an application.
I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Naples) in Jan 2026
Interview
Colloquio di gruppo con prova tecnica e successivamente colloquio individuale. Molto stimolante e ben strutturato. Gli esperti Ikea sono molto disponibili e gentili. Ti mettono a proprio agio e ti ascoltano con attenzione. Uno dei colloqui più belli che io abbia mai fatto.
