I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (Melbourne) in Nov 2017
Interview
Very organised interview process. Was contacted by phone and given a phone interview the day after submitting my application. The same week I had an interview in their head office with 2 staff members. The week after that I was invited back to meet with a Sales Manager for a casual chat. My referees were then phoned and I was offered the position.
