Procurement Manager Interview Questions

I felt confused about the question, as a supervisor/manager, this type of question made me wonder if the company has a lot of internal conflict. Why would this question even come up unless the firm has a history of problems? When I questioned the recruiter, she became defensive and assured they did not have behavioral problems among workers/management in the organization.

I had same question. It seems they ask alot of HR questions vs experience questions.

This definitely concerned me even more as most companies want leaders not managers.

If the interviewee answers based on the recommendations listed above, they will answer the questions just fine. I do recommend they answer it as to what they did specifically. Too many interviewees talk about what "we" did or "they" did, and the managers at TMS want to know what the interviewee specifically did.

I had to give an exact dollar figure

Need to carve out more time to keep up on changes in procurement technologies.

Being able to determine which products will move better in different climates, but also in different areas.

I provided my experience on these the processes, and answered a few follow up questions from the Hiring Manager. Pretty standard stuff.

I cited a few examples of my experience with general vendor selection, contract review process, and leveraging vendors through the bid process.
