About our hiring partner
Our hiring partner was born during a time when there was a lot happening in the Shopify ecosystem, particularly around subscriptions. Shopify doesn't have native subscription support and relies on third-party apps. Our hiring partner was created to fill this void in the subscription market while providing a better solution than what existed at the time. They help merchants who already have subscription programs migrate to a better solution, and also help merchants who don't yet have subscription programs set them up for the first time.
They have grown to become a substantial player in the Shopify subscription market, surpassing $20 million in ARR and growing completely organically without significant investment in marketing. With approximately 65 employees worldwide, they're experiencing exponential growth and are continuing to expand their team.
