How to Get Hired at IKEA

• IKEA hires for values first, skills second. Before your interview, memorize and internalize the eight IKEA values (togetherness, caring for people and planet, cost-consciousness, simplicity, renew and improve, different with a meaning, give and take responsibility, lead by example) and prepare specific examples demonstrating each.
• The application portal runs on SmartRecruiters ATS. Use a clean, single-column resume format without graphics, tables, or headers/footers. Submit in .docx format for optimal parsing. Mirror exact keywords from the job description in your resume.
