SoPost interview questions

The process consisted of four stages spanning an entire month: Initial HR screening call Interview with Head of Sales France Business case presentation (1.5 hours) with Head of Sales France and COO (UK-based) Sales test Final interview with CEO My Experience: What started as a promising process turned into a complete waste of time and a masterclass in unprofessional recruitment practices. Throughout each stage, I received overwhelmingly positive feedback. The HR manager, Head of Sales, and COO all praised my performance, explicitly telling me I "did a great job" and that I was a strong fit for the role. The HR manager even proactively called me between stages to share materials and help me prepare, which gave me confidence I was a serious contender. The business case was particularly demanding - a heavy 1.5-hour presentation requiring significant preparation time and energy. I fielded numerous questions from both the Head of Sales and COO, answering with confidence and thoroughness. Again, I received positive feedback on my performance. After investing a full month into this process and completing every stage successfully (according to their own feedback), I waited three business days post-CEO interview only to receive a cold, detached rejection email from the COO. No explanation, no constructive feedback, no acknowledgment of the time and effort invested - just a brief "you haven't been chosen." When I requested feedback, the COO's response was dismissively vague, citing "industry fit" as the reason - despite my luxury background being disclosed and discussed from the very first interview. If this was truly a concern, why waste my time (and theirs) with a month-long process including an intensive business case? The final insult: when I reached out to the HR manager who had been so supportive throughout, I discovered she'd been let go from the company. She told me she had been rooting for me. Bottom Line: This experience reflects poorly on SoPost's recruitment practices and respect for candidates' time. Being strung along with positive feedback only to receive a cold, unexplained rejection after a month-long process is unprofessional and disrespectful. If you're considering interviewing here, be prepared for mixed signals, significant time investment, and potentially disappointing communication at the end. Not recommended.
