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).
Interviewed with Shopify and after the loop recruiter mentioned they would get back to be the following week. Recruiter ghosted me and never responded. After 3-4 months interview process, 3 rounds of interviewing you can't even send me a rejection email! This is super unprofessional, unnecessary and looks like the norm seeing other reviews.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Ottawa, ON) in Aug 2021
Interview
The process included one initial screening interview with HR and another longer interview (3 hours) with managers, senior staff, and then team members. The interviews all felt much more like friendly chats than an assessment of my skills.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Apr 2022
Interview
Initial technical screen, followed by the Life Story interview. Was rejected at this stage and was given no feedback as to why, which does not really inspire courage in the process.
