Choose the right perspective

Look for candidates who have personally chosen between suppliers, managed vendor relationships through implementation, or changed their approach based on real problems. Ask them to describe specific decisions they made, not general processes they followed.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01Walk me through a time you rejected a supplier you initially favored. What made you change your mind?
  2. 02How did you verify that a supplier could actually deliver what they promised before signing a contract?
  3. 03Tell me about a supplier relationship that broke down during an automation project. What would you do differently?
