Three questions that separate procurement intern candidates

These are written so an HR generalist can ask them without domain expertise. You do not need to evaluate the technical answer — listen for whether the candidate reasons from something they actually did, or from something they read.

  1. 1

    Three quotes come in. The cheapest vendor has the worst reviews. What do you recommend?

  2. 2

    A vendor offers you a personal gift during a negotiation. What do you do?

  3. 3

    How would you find out whether we are overpaying for something?
