About the Purchase Manager test

A successful purchase manager needs to have a wide range of skills to be able to successfully complete the duties of the role. A typical purchase manager is expected to be good at planning and budgeting annual spend, having knowledge of various clauses for executing commercial contracts with suppliers and service providers, while keeping the risk minimal and drafting an all-weather pricing agreement.

A purchase manager will also continuously search for potential vendors and bring them on-board. This cycle is usually covered in RFX processes and sometimes with the use of advanced tools like reverse E-auction.

This Purchase Manager test evaluates candidates’ abilities to engage in effective purchase policy-making decisions, manage risk, especially with regards to contracts, onboard and manage vendors, and engage in effective pricing analysis and strategies.

This screening test will help you identify well-rounded candidates who are ready to step into the role of purchase manager.
