I interviewed for a Senior System Administrator role with Supergoop!, reaching the final stages in mid-April. Despite the high-stakes nature of the position and several hours of technical and leadership discussions, the company went completely silent following the final round. For a brand that markets "transparency" and "innovation," their recruitment process is remarkably outdated. If a Senior SysAdmin candidate—someone responsible for the reliability and security of your systems—is treated as an expendable data point, it speaks volumes about the value placed on the IT department and its people. Ghosting a final-round candidate isn't just a "bad look" for HR; it’s a functional failure in communication. If they can’t manage a status update for a senior-level hire, I have little confidence in their ability to manage complex internal systems or support a "human-centric" culture. Disappointing experience from a brand I previously respected.
