      Operations Manager Interview

      Nov 7, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at JYSK in Feb 2017

      Interview

      Applied online, received an email from the recruiter asking for a Skype interview. That was only about 20 minutes and had basic interview questions that you would expect. Was called in for an interview with the store manager. He asked alot of the same questions as the recruiter, but his interview lasted longer as he created a feeling of comfort, allowing for a more organic dialogue of the business and who I was as a professional. It enabled me to see what kind of a store manager he was, and gave better insight in who i would be working for

      Operations Manager Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at JYSK in Apr 2025

      Interview

      My interview experience with JYSK was unfortunately frustrating and far from what I expected from a company of this scale. The process began with a pre-recorded interview, which I completed and followed up on after hearing nothing for over 1.5 weeks. Eventually, I received a response from a Talent Acquisition Manager. The virtual interview that followed was disappointing. He was 10 minutes late, sipping coffee, yawning, and visibly disengaged throughout, which felt disrespectful. I later received an email from the Richmond store manager inviting me for an in-person interview. The email came late in the day with a pre-set time, without asking for my availability. I responded promptly, explaining I work full-time and offered four alternative time slots. I didn’t hear back for three days. When I followed up by calling the store, I was told bluntly, “I’m busy. I’ll reply when I have time,” before the call was abruptly ended. The next day, I received a one-line email saying he wasn’t available for any of the times I proposed. I responded again, offering more flexibility though it meant taking time off work. The reply I got was again a one-liner: “I am not available.” No effort to reschedule, no professionalism, and zero courtesy. I was genuinely interested in the role and the brand, but this experience reflected poor communication, lack of respect for candidate time, and a discouraging attitude from someone in a leadership role. I hope JYSK reevaluates how its hiring teams engage with potential employees because candidate experience matters.

      Operations Manager Interview

      Ottawa, ON
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JYSK (Ottawa, ON) in Feb 2019

      Interview

      Apply online, schedule a call with HR for a phone interview, then you are called in for a meeting with the district manager and store manager. Very straightforward and fair

      Operations Manager Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at JYSK (Niagara, ON) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      Phone interview with HR, then on to an interview with the store manager and the district manager. The role pays well, offered 48k to start. It pays well because it is not a good manager role but is a lot of work. They are having a hard time attracting good candidates company wide. No real business aspect to the store, more just a rented space with furniture and bedding pilled on skids. Not corporate infrastructure to support the stores. This all would equal and dead end job that you would be depressed to go to
