Shopify's Remote-First Hiring: How AI Interviews Candidates Across 20 Time Zones
Shopify's "digital by default" policy means hiring across 20+ time zones. Scheduling interviews across continents adds 5-7 business days to hiring cycles. Async AI interviews eliminate this entirely — candidates complete structured interviews on their schedule, 24/7.
Benefits of Async AI Interviews
- No scheduling coordination needed
- Consistent evaluation regardless of time zone
- Language-native assessment
- 60% faster time from application to first interview
