About the Purchase executive (local procurement) test

A great purchase executive can help you achieve business savings by helping you choose suppliers with the best prices and terms. They can identify the goods and services that are crucial to your company and take appropriate steps to secure your supply chains by diversifying supply.

This purchase executive test evaluates a candidate’s ability to plan and place orders, ensure on-time-in-full (OTIF) delivery of goods, onboard and manage suppliers, and handle price changes and other commercial issues that may arise.

This screening test will help you identify purchase executives who can procure locally sourced materials and services, executing a complete procure-to-pay (P2P) cycle. Candidates who do well on this test will have 1-2 years of experience in procurement and be able to plan sourcing, place orders, arrange logistics, and handle various commercial issues. Successful candidates will be able to understand price escalations and benchmark prices along various suppliers. They will be capable of assisting the strategic sourcing department in supplier onboarding.

TestGorilla is a great way to measure candidates’ skills. The amount of options when choosing tests was plentiful. Also, the amount of tests available for several different positions was great because usually, you see tests for just accounting or typing. We found tests for COO, digital marketing, SEO, and several other positions. You can measure not only skill but attention to detail etc.

FAQs

What is the difference between an assessment and a test?
An assessment is the total package of tests and custom questions that you put together to evaluate your candidates. Each individual test within an assessment is designed to test something specific, such as a job skill or language. An assessment can consist of up to 5 tests and 20 custom questions. You can have candidates respond to your custom questions in several ways, such as with a personalized video.
Can I add my own questions to an assessment?
Yes! Custom questions are great for testing candidates in your own unique way. We support the following question types: video, multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Besides adding your own custom questions, you can also create your own tests.
How do video questions work?
A video question is a specific type of custom question you can add to your assessment. Video questions let you create a question and have your candidates use their webcam to record a video response. This is an excellent way to see how a candidate would conduct themselves in a live interview, and is especially useful for sales and hospitality roles. Some good examples of things to ask for video questions would be "Why do you want to work for our company?" or "Try to sell me an item you have on your desk right now." You can learn more about video questions here.
Can you explain how the other custom question types work?
Besides video questions, you can also add the following types of custom questions: multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Multiple-choice lets your candidates choose from a list of answers that you provide, coding lets you create a coding problem for them to solve, file upload allows your candidates to upload a file that you request (such as a resume or portfolio), and essay allows an open-ended text response to your question. You can learn more about different custom question types here.
Can I customize an assessment with my company logo and color theme?
Yes! You can add your own logo and company color theme to your assessments. This is a great way to leave a positive and lasting brand impression on your candidates.
What type of support do you offer?
Our team is always here to help. After you sign up, we’ll reach out to guide you through the first steps of setting up your TestGorilla account.
