I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2025
Interview
Was a mix of one-on-one interview and group activities. The group activity shows how well you can work in a team whereas the one-on-one interview is a more personal conversation. They ask various questions like hobbies, what do you know about IKEA's values, your availability, where are you located etc
