      Recruiter Interview

      29 Jun 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Shopify (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      I was interviewed for an internal Recruiter position. I have over 5 years of experience working with high-growth technology companies and never have I had such a terrible interview. The interviewer was an internal recruiter who's been there for 4 months and had ZERO recruitment experience before this. He was a musical sales manager prior to his role! When recruiting for senior manager or senior-level roles, you need to have recruiters who actually know what they're doing and who have the level of experience needed to ensure QUALITY CANDIDATE EXPERIENCE. The interview seemed unprofessional. The interviewer turned his camera half-way through the interview because he 'had to take notes'. This is such a strange this to say during a screening call and shows zero interest in the candidate experience. It screams, I'm just screening these qualifying questions and then moving on. Shopify's interviewing needs a serious change. They're growing too quickly and their candidate experience is dropping. I declined to move forward after this experience because this is not the culture nor the type of recruiting I support.

      Question 1

      Why do you want to work at Shopify? Why are you a good fit here? Can I turn my camera off so I can take notes why you stay on camera?

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Shopify

      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".

      Recruiter Interview

      25 Sept 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      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.

      Recruiter Interview

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      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.
