I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Supy in May 2026
Interview
If you're looking for a masterclass in how NOT TO communicate with candidates, this process is worth experiencing.
I went through interviews and spoke with the hiring team, and was then asked to prepare a detailed market entry case study.
Not a simple exercise either, a full strategy presentation covering target accounts, go-to-market approach, sales process, forecasts, and expansion plans.
The case study was submitted on time as requested.
Then... silence.
No acknowledgment that it was received.
No update.
No timeline.
Nothing.
After waiting, I followed up via email and LinkedIn. Still nothing.
Only after multiple follow-ups did I finally receive an update saying the hiring process had been put on hold.
I completely understand that startups change direction. Roles get frozen. Budgets change. Priorities shift.
What I don't understand is why candidates are expected to invest significant time and effort into a case study while basic communication somehow becomes optional.
The most impressive part of the process was that it took several follow-ups just to get a simple status update.
At the end of the day, the role being put on hold wasn't the issue.
The communication was.
Candidates can accept a yes.
Candidates can accept a no.
What candidates shouldn't have to do is chase repeatedly just to find out whether the process still exists.
Best of luck entering the Malaysia market.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Supy (Dubai) in Oct 2025
Interview
My experience with SUPY was one of the poorest interview processes I’ve ever encountered. After completing three rounds, I received no communication for weeks until I personally contacted the CEO, Sales Director, and others on LinkedIn. Only then was I informed I wasn’t moving forward.
But it didn’t end there. I was later interviewed by the Sales Director for another role, told I had cleared the round, and HR even confirmed I would receive the next interview invitation “this week.” That was in October. Despite two months of follow-ups, I never received a single update from HR — not even a basic acknowledgment.
This reflects serious disorganization, lack of accountability, and no respect for candidates’ time. Making commitments and then vanishing without any closure is unacceptable. If this is how communication works during the hiring stage, it raises major concerns about the company’s internal culture and processes.
Founder is very non-engaging and full of himself. He thinks he's smarter than the candidate because he comes from an investment banking background. Also there's no revenue model of the company. Very long shot kinda business model. I wish them all the success
