      Human Resources Generalist Interview

      Sep 4, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA in Aug 2017

      Interview

      Phone interview scheduled on the weekend. Very high expectations for a position which poor compensation (50-60 range). You are expected to work in (1) a uniform, (2) 1 out of every 2 weekends & 1 evening shift ending at 10pm during the week (3) 40 hr work week (4) on the floor selling or pushing shopping carts. This sounds reasonable if your a student & working as a cashier but not for a CHRP with 5 yrs of experience. Ikea prides itself on being cost efficient, innovative and unconventional - personally i think they pushed it too far here.

      Human Resources Generalist Interview

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Rome)

      Interview

      Ricordo di aver applicato per la posizione tramite LinkedIn e di essere stata ricontattata per e-mail, quindi primo step scrematura del cv e relativo match. Successivamente (perlomeno nel mio caso) ci sono 3 colloqui a distanza di tempo da sostenere, anche per uno stage. Si parte dal primo colloquio attitudinale fino ad un colloquio tecnico.

      Question 1

      Tante domande, 3 step di colloqui per una posizione di stage, spariti nel nulla.

      HR Generalist Interview

      May 10, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Rome
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at IKEA (Rome) in Apr 2023

      Interview

      Prima telefonata conoscitiva di 10 minuti con la recruiter, veramente gentile e disponibile. In seguito ci siamo accordate per il colloquio attitudinale; quest'ultimo è durato circa 30 minuti e mi è stato chiesto di parlare del mio percorso, se conoscevo l'azienda, cosa avrei voluto fare in futuro e se mi sarebbe interessata la posizione. L'esito dell'attitudinale è arrivato il giorno dopo, chiedendomi la disponibilità per il colloquio manageriale. A mio avviso quest'ultimo è stato fatto in maniera approssimativa e poco interessata (è stato più approfondito il colloquio attitudinale di quello manageriale). Poi ho avuto dei problemi con un test attitudinale, ho chiesto informazioni ma sono spariti.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Parlami di te e del tuo percorso. Dove ti vedi tra 5 anni. Perché hai scelto di lavorare nelle risorse umane. Quali sono le aree che ti interessano di più della psicologia del lavoro. Saresti disponibile a una mobilità/flessibilità geografica in futuro? Conosci Ikea?
