      The Job You Didn't Know You Wanted (Talent Acquisition) Interview

      Nov 16, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Shopify (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      Initial vetting process was a 20-minute Skype interview, with 4 recruiters (Recruiter Roulette). One-on-one for five minutes each, and one question each. Everyone was friendly, and exactly what you'd want your first contact to be. The thing I noticed most about this process was the lack of diversity on the TA team (on their Interviewing website), and also all interviewers were not POCs. Of a team of 36, it's very disappointing to see that only 2 are visibly POCs. If the TA team doesn't have a balanced number of underrepresented people on their team, how would Shopify dismiss unconscious bias? It makes it difficult for anyone who identifies as a visible minority when no one looks like them.

      Thank you for addressing this. You’re right. On a recruitment team of 48, there are 6 POC (we need to update our interviewing website). This gap is something we’re very aware of and we’re actively working to change. To build a long-lasting company, we need to attract top talent with a diverse mix of perspectives, ideas and experiences. We recently hired an Inclusion and Innovation lead to look at how we can bring even more perspectives and life experiences to Shopify. Unconscious biases can affect our ability to hire people with different backgrounds and ideas. To address this, we’re revamping our interview approach and introducing inclusivity training for our employees. We’re also reworking our referral program to encourage people to look beyond their immediate circle and recommend candidates with diverse backgrounds. It’ll take some time but we’re committed to doing this in an intentional and thoughtful way, and for the long term.
