The hiring process at Shopify takes an average of 29 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Lead Software Engineer had the quickest hiring process (on average 1 day), whereas Senior relevance engineer roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 56 days).
Technical issues during the live-dev interview led to me not having the full time to complete the interview. It was an interesting problem to solve, but a bit frustrating of an experience
Process is long and specific, definitely a bit intimidating but for good measure. Began with an online application that took months for a reply but you could monitor the progress did your application which is good. Eventually meet with a member of the hiring team for a quick chat to get to know you. Then you get moved ok to the testing stages and so on.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2019
Interview
In my process, there were three phases. The first one was with someone in human resources, super nice and open, quick overview of yourself then with the hiring manager, at the end with both together based on a case study.
