We're all about the people and focus on building and growing teams that execute on Shopify’s long-term vision. We partner with teams across the company and acquire as much information as possible to understand the work they do and what they need to ship. We then make it our mission to find the best people for the right role at the right time. If you are mission-driven, and excited by new challenges, hustle, and learning opportunities Shopify is your place to recruit.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop innovative search strategies and market mapping research to identify top talent
• Engage with potential candidates to build relationships and present opportunities at Shopify
• Partner with Recruiters to execute on hiring mandates to build Shopify's RnD teams.
• Utilize various tools and platforms for sourcing and engaging with RnD talent - yes you’re an expert at LinkedIn Recruiter, but you don’t stop there
• Mentor and support teammates to enhance their technical sourcing skills
• Implement creative sourcing methods to attract diverse talent at all levels
• Engage with potential candidates to assess their fit for roles within Shopify
• Stay updated on industry trends and best practices in talent sourcing and recruitment
• Provide insights and recommendations to improve overall sourcing processes and candidate experiences

• Passionate about the use of great tooling and products in enhancing the TA org. Keep up with the zeitgeist, the progress, and the tools of the trade in your field.
• High attention to detail both with people and process. You’re able to pick up on nuance, ask excellent questions and plan accordingly.
• Genuine curiosity about people and their careers. A desire to listen more than talk.
• 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.
• Experience building high-trust relationships.
• Passion for taking a human-centered approach in everything you do.
• Proven experience in executive talent sourcing with a focus on building long-term relationships
• Ability to prioritize tasks effectively and work under pressure in a fast-paced environment

About Shopify

Opportunity is not evenly distributed. Shopify puts independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business. We propel entrepreneurs and enterprises to scale the heights of their potential. Since 2006, we’ve grown to over 8,300 employees and generated over $1 trillion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries.

This is life-defining work that directly impacts people’s lives as much as it transforms your own. This is putting the power of the few in the hands of the many, is a future with more voices rather than fewer, and is creating more choices instead of an elite option.

About You

Moving at our pace brings a lot of change, complexity, and ambiguity—and a little bit of chaos. Shopifolk thrive on that and are comfortable being uncomfortable. That means Shopify is not the right place for everyone.

Before you apply, consider if you can:

• Care deeply about what you do and about making commerce better for everyone
• Excel by seeking professional and personal hypergrowth
• Keep up with an unrelenting pace (the week, not the quarter)
• Be resilient and resourceful in face of ambiguity and thrive on (rather than endure) change
• Bring critical thought and opinion
• Use AI tools reflexively as part of your fundamental workflow
• Embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
• Work digital-first for your daily work
