      Recruiter Interview

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify

      Interview

      I applied to Shopify a few months ago for another role and didn't make the cut, unfortunately. I thought I'd try again as Shopify has been on the top of my list for companies I'd like to work for -- it seems that they really value you as a person, want you to grow, etc. This time around my experience was horrible. I applied for the recruiter position and heard back about a week after the job posting expired. I was really excited as the talent specialist seemed excited about my application. I was asked to setup a time with the recruiter through Calendly. I booked in a call for the next morning. As soon as the recruiter called me, I knew the call was not going to go anywhere. Firstly, she seemed confused and asked me if I knew she was calling..... I said yes, I booked it in, so of course! The entire conversation she seemed really bored and disinterested. She was super hung up on the reason I left my last job, and that completely derailed the conversation. She actually said to me "you left without finding another job?". I felt judged and deeply disrespected. I explained my reasons, and tried to stay positive and show my interest for this role. I asked a ton of questions at the end and she sped through all of the answers. About a week later, I received an email that I was not moving forward and that absolutely no feedback could be given. I find it odd that a company that says they value candidates have a recruiter like this who is rude to people.... it contradicts what Shopify says they stand for, and judging from all of the other negative interview reviews here, there are quite a few bad apples. I think they maybe need to hire recruiters who are actually in HR and understand labour relations regulations in Ontario.

      Interview

      Unconventional which seemed Ok at first. The place had a real cult of personality vibe to it. Everyone was nice, but I really did get the sense of a "we are holier than thou feeling".

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Aug 2024

      Interview

      The process was unnecessarily long, lacked direction and at times irrelevant. The technical test was essentially a 3 question test on excel functions. The life story was one of the strangest interviews I have been involved in. The recruiter came off as arrogant and disinterested. At times I felt like they were just gathering information on my previous employers. Judging by some of the comments on their company culture, I'm glad I dodged a bullet. Zero feedback received too which says it all about their culture.

      Application

      The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Jul 2024

      Interview

      The recruitment process I went through was quite interesting and involved several stages. First, I completed an online test that evaluated my behavioral and logical skills. After that, I had an online meeting with the recruiter. This was followed by another online session specifically designed to test my data skills. Then, there was a life story interview, and the last stage was a reverse life story interview. I received feedback within about 1.5 weeks.
