More Isn’t Always Better: The Shopify Hiring Trap Shopify teaches an important lesson about hiring the right way. In the beginning, they hired too many engineers, thinking it would speed things up. But with so many people, tasks got repeated, communication broke down, and things slowed down instead. Realizing the problem, Shopify decided to reduce their engineering team to the right size. This made work more efficient, with better communication and faster progress. The key takeaway? More employees don’t always mean more productivity. In fact, too many can cause confusion and delays. It’s important to hire the right people for the right roles at the right time. When you focus on quality over quantity, your team can work better and achieve goals more quickly.
