My experience with Suitsupply’s interview process was deeply frustrating and, frankly, disrespectful of candidates’ time. Over the course of three months, I completed: • An initial interview with a recruiter • A second interview with the District Manager • A third “panel interview” I was told would include five people I prepared extensively for what I was told would be a high-level panel discussion. Instead, I walked into a meeting with just two individuals, an HR representative and a Store Manager from another location, which already felt misaligned with what had been communicated. More than halfway through the interview, the HR representative casually revealed that the Store Manager role had already been filled internally and that they were now interviewing candidates for an Assistant Store Manager position instead. This was never disclosed at any point during the three-month process. To invest that amount of time, preparation, and emotional energy only to discover midinterview that the role no longer exists is not just poor communication, it’s unprofessional. If the position was filled internally, transparency should have been immediate. Candidates deserve clarity, not last-minute pivots. A company that prides itself on tailoring and precision should apply the same standards to its hiring process. Respecting candidates’ time is not optional it’s basic professionalism.

Initial zoom with in-house recruiter. This was a company man who clearly had no interest in putting a woman at the helm of a store. Was much more excited to speak about himself than to listen to any answer that wasn't boxed, cheesy and disingenuous.
