Choose the right perspective

Look for candidates who've personally evaluated suppliers—not just attended meetings about it. Ask them to describe a specific supplier choice they made, what criteria mattered most, and what went wrong or surprised them. Their answers will reveal whether they understand your actual sourcing challenges.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01Walk me through a supplier you chose over a cheaper alternative. What made that decision worth it?
  2. 02When a key supplier failed to deliver, what did you do and what would you do differently?
  3. 03How do you decide between long-term contracts with one supplier versus splitting volume across multiple sources?
