Straightforward, the recruiter was friendly and very informed about the role. Very transparent how the company runs and able to communicate expectations and next steps clearly. Questioning and flow was smooth, comfortable and very accommodating.

It’s been almost a decade since I wrote about a candidate or job experience on glassdoor, but this was bad enough to share. I’ll spare folks the details and focus on the feedback. It’s one thing (and completely reasonable) for Shopify to have bumps in the recruiting process and still decide to not move forward with a candidate. It’s *another* thing to have a recruiting process SO sloppy that candidates walk away associating Shopify with red flags and stale, slow-to-ship designers. If emotional acumen isn’t part of your recruiting culture, then fine. You can still share pronouns in your introductions, diversify your interview panels, and ensure that ALL candidates get the same level of comms/prep at every stage of the recruiting process. Candidates shouldn’t have to answer biased interview questions and leave the experience feeling grateful that they DON’T work at your company. Shame on you, Shopify! It’s 2024... do better.
