Choose the right perspective

Look for candidates who have personally evaluated and selected suppliers. Ask them to describe specific suppliers they chose or rejected and why. Find out how they monitored supplier performance and what they did when a supplier failed to deliver. Candidates should explain trade-offs they made between competing demands like price and speed.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01Walk me through how you evaluated a supplier before awarding them business. What criteria mattered most and why?
  2. 02Tell me about a time a supplier didn't meet your expectations. How did you handle it and what changed as a result?
  3. 03When you had to choose between a cheaper supplier and a more reliable one, how did you make that decision and what happened?
