#26 Hiring Fantastic People at Scale – (Shopify) Shimona Mehta | Slush 2022

One thing that doesn’t change as your company grows is that your people will remain your single biggest competitive advantage. While a single bad hire will no longer kill your company, an overall lapse in hiring quality almost definitely will.

At this point, you may be hiring dozens of people a month. Also, while you as a founder could once sit in on every single interview, you’ll struggle to do that now. So, how do you teach your organisation to find, convince and onboard fantastic people at an exceptional pace?

To shed light on this we are welcoming Shimona Mehta, who’s Managing Director, EMEA for the €46B icon that is Shopify.
