Focus on values-led recruitment
At IKEA, we value people who enjoy challenging the status quo. Together, we work to find smarter, more effective ways to improve things for others. If this sounds like you, then carry on to discover more about our recruitment process. Why not try our interactive recruitment tool? Me & IKEA takes you on a storytelling journey where you play the lead role and your choices decide how the story ends.
1. Pre-screening
Our recruiters will screen all incoming applications and then, depending on the role you are applying for, might ask you to complete a short assessment. You can expect a response from us as soon as possible.
2. Let’s get to know you
We will reach out to you for a phone call or a video interview, possibly followed by an interview with a recruiter and your potential manager. During the interviews you will have the change to share your motivation and ask questions.
3. The hiring decision
Now it's time for background and reference checks. If you are the right candidate for the job, we will contact you with an offer. We'll also send you the offer in writing. We are committed to equal pay, based on your experience and qualifications.
4. Onboarding
Once you've given us the thumbs up, you'll be part of the pre-boarding journey, to learn about the IKEA brand and business, your team and any other helpful information for your first day. You'll also receive a date for your introduction at your new workplace, where you'll meet your new team. Good luck!
Everybody’s different. That’s what we all have in common
At IKEA, we are looking for people who believe everyone deserves a seat at the table. You’re welcome no matter where you come from, what you believe, and what you look like. We don’t even care how you have furnished your home. We’re interested in you simply because you’re you. Even if your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. We believe that people’s different perspectives, backgrounds, and personalities make us better at understanding our customers dreams and needs. At IKEA, we’re all on the same project. Together we make the world feel at home.
