Shopify is now permanently remote and working towards a future that is digital by design. Learn more about what this can mean for you. Shopify’s mission is simple: make commerce better for everyone. The Talent Acquisition team plays a key role in driving that mission forward by finding, attracting and hiring the best people for the right roles at the right time. The team is growing and we need someone who can help us continue to hire people who are engaged, impactful and excited to make commerce better for everyone! We always take a human centred approach at Shopify, especially in our recruitment process. Recruiters make high-impact decisions about who our future employees are, while facilitating a world-class recruitment experience for all candidates.

• Conduct application screening and vetting calls.
• Recommend and manage short-list interviews, recap discussions, and offer processes.
• See the people you’ve hired have a positive impact in their new role.

You will need to have:

• Genuine curiosity about people and their careers. You seek to understand people’s stories and you have a desire to listen more than talk.
• Experience building high-trust relationships. Trust is of paramount importance at Shopify. Read about the “trust battery” here .

• A highly organized approach. You are able to capture, maintain, organize and juggle priorities in an often chaotic environment.
• A builder’s mindset and a track record of owning problems and caring about how they get solved.
• Comfort with a high degree of autonomy.
• A high level of care for people.

Bonus experience:
