Have you ever hired a supply chain new team member whose job was to execute a critical role within your organization… and then sometime soon after, discovered you made a hiring mistake? Don’t feel too bad. EVERY supervisor, manager, executive and recruiter has made this same mistake… and most have made it numerous times. 

This presentation will demonstrate how to appropriately execute the evaluation (interview) process using structured interview methods that assess technical, organizational, cultural, and behavioral indicators.  Participants will further learn that candidates can be diagnostically compared through an instrument called the “Competencies & Qualities (C&Q) Interviewing Framework.”  Participants will learn how to use this instrument to fully evaluate each top candidate and make a decision that DOES NOT result in a misfit.

Supply chain misfits get hired because of a host of dysfunctional hiring practices. Some are caused by a lack of adequate preparation, and others are caused by lack of understanding of good interviewing practices.  No matter the cause, there still needs to be a solution… a solution that can dramatically improve the odds for hiring high-performing supply chain professionals who can hit the ground and perform. This is what the “C&Q Interviewing Framework” is about.  This is what this presentation is about.

At the conclusion of this session,

Employers will have vastly improved understanding of PROPER interviewing and candidate evaluation skills, especially within the supply chain management space.

Job seekers will also benefit from this session in TWO ways:

(1) knowing the logic behind interviewers’ questions can provide clues to what type of employee they need, and

(2) understanding important competencies and qualities necessary for specific jobs can help the job seeker to determine their fit with the prospective employer.
