I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Baltimore, MD) in Dec 2021
Interview
(Let me first say that this was my 4th attempt applying with IKEA before given an offer-granted in the past there where things on my end that help me back from securing the job)
First Step: I applied online for a "customer support specialist" position.
Second Step: Received a phone interview request via email the next day.
Third Step: Completed a 45min phone interview and was recommended another position more related to my experience which is a plus. Scheduled an in-person interview 2 days later before ending the phone interview.
Fourth Step: Went to their center and had a 45min interview, following a slight tour, and left.
Fifth Step: Received a phone call from the same recruiter exactly 1 week later with a contingent job offer and was also sent some "congratulations" type emails.
Sixth Step: Took my drug test and signed my background check within 2 days.
about 5 days later (which was 2 days ago) my pre-employment screening was successfully completed and now I'm just waiting for that final confirmation email or call since I have yet heard anything about IKEA having to renege the job offer.
WISH ME LUCK, AND GOOD LUCK TO THOSE INTERESTED!!
