Not sure what kind of experience they are looking for I had the exact experience necessary plus additional "assets" to the job so I applied. Two weeks later, I received a call from the recruiter for a "10 minute chat". All went well, pretty easy going and not really an interview. One week later, I received an email to come in and do a "life story" interview. Recruiter was all of 19 years old which would be fine except she didn't know the words I had used such as "adamant". How is a 19 year old going to judge whether I had enough experience in a job where she's never heard of most the of the requirements. Surprisingly, I received a call to meet the hiring manager and one of the "co-workers" I would be working with. Interview went really well; however, they didn't have my resume on had, forgot about the experience I had and wanted you to verbally describe your job experience. I was even told my knowledge, experience and attitude was perfect for Shopify. One week later, I received an email saying they were going for candidates with more experience. I've been doing the exact job for over 10 years already so I doubt experience had anything to do with it. It's too bad but I don't think they hire on experience or knowledge, I'm a 40+ highly skilled person and not a 19 year old and I had a feeling I was working against that.

Had a good phone screen with the recruiter after which I was encouraged to apply for another role that the team had opening up. We exchanged a few emails back and forth after which I was ghosted. It was disheartening to not receive the courtesy rejection message. I'd still like to work for the company down the road, but I'm really confused by their process.
